Bill Kristol, the editor of the Weekly Standard, said he would likely look beyond both of the major parties if Trump, the clear frontrunner in the GOP's crowded presidential field, emerged with the party's nomination.

"I doubt I'd support Donald. I doubt I'd support the Democrat," Kristol told CNNMoney in an email. "I think I'd support getting someone good on the ballot as a third party candidate."

As if he has ever voted for a Republican before. What a buffoon.

When there is a job to be done to correct all the wrongs, sometimes we have to bring in an outsider that is willing to do it without the usual nonsense. A do’er, not a promise’er. He may have his faults, but who doesn’t? The silent majority wants to Get’er done!” What is Krystal a Democrat 5th columnist or a member of the GOPe? It looks like Trump is on a roll, if he keeps going, the RNC will find a way to turn victory into defeat. Trump has the DC clique shaking in their boots. Its going to be one hell of a show.

I guess all the challengers to Trump will be wanting to go Third Party, to get to be with Bill Kristol.

The Republican Party just implodes as we go along, apparently.

“Did he have his bizarre, rictus-like grin on when he said it?”

grinning like a raccoon eating fish guts off a wire brush.

GOPe is always looking for a candidate that will attract cross-over Democrats.

Well, they’ve got one, and they are complaining about it.

I have a feeling Trump will draw a considerable number of Dems. I don’t think any of them are that thrilled to vote for Hillary. Or Biden.

Yep. When the shoe is on the other foot, look who heads for the third-party hills. Happens every time. It’s the GOPe MO

Bill Kristol has always looked to me to be someone with a stool problem, grimmacing (and trying to smile at the same time) as he waits for the Dulcolax or old fashion Exlax to kick in.

I’d actually forgot about that asshat, Kristol. What network is cutting him checks these days?

Wonder if FOX has figured out that Trump’s 40% represents 60% of their viewers. Did they bring in CNN’s marketing crew?

One vote. That is all this guy is but these elitist RINO supporters don’t seem to understand that and they will keep losing until they do.

If Trump wins I would support drafting Kristol into the Army and assigning him point in a one-man IED sweeper squad.

I am not a Trump suporter persay but am slowly going in that direction kicking and screaming while it happens. the canadate I want cant break 10% at this point so I feel his chances are slowly dwindling. I find it sickening that the same peaple that were screaming about trump going third party are now saying that if trump wins the nomination I wont suport him and what is more I will go third party. thease are the same peaple that yell you must vote republican or a libral demacrat will be elected pressident. I realize that trump is not a conservative but one of the problems we have is that we keep electing in wasington peaple claiming that title only to see them put up luke warm responses to chalenges of conservative principles. I also look at the republican party and I see the rot of coruption with in the party in leadership positions. I see the party leadership trying to elect bush. when I look at bush I see indications that bush is corupt like hillery Clinton in the area of taking bribes. the bribe that stands out which is hard to denigh is 1.3 million from leahman Brothers for a no show job. If I end up suporting trump it will be for two reasons he understands the meaning of leadership and the need to make solid decions and the need to upset the apple cart of washington poltics. I want conservative values but the truth is if the republican party were protecting them are controle of the house and senate would be enough to protect those values.

You’re right.

Thanks to Kristol, now we know it meant “vote for our RINO” because that’s who they back: Political veteran RINOS

Another Capo for Communism! After all this “loyalty oath” BS, we have little schmeckels like Kristol who want to “opt out!” When you read stuff like this, you really begin to realize just how far into the $hitter this country has gone.
Trump needs to give the Capitol an huge political enema! I heard a female commentator say today that you could flag a car on the highway today, pull out the driver and send him or her to Congress and have a better outcome than we’ve been getting by a huge factor. Maybe we need a super Lotto game with random names on the ping pong balls? I don’t see how it could really be much worse. As far as Kristol is concerned, he can leave the country when Trump is nominated and the country will be better off.
