Bill Kristol, son of Irving, names Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Mitt Romney, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and others on his hypothetical shortlist of third-party candidates that he could run if Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee. The “Weekly Standard” editor and self-styled neoconservative power broker is back to talking about a third party, declaring that a Trump victory in Indiana would force him to re-focus on his so-called “Latter-Day Republicans” independent ticket. A third party could help to split the vote on the Right and elect Hillary Clinton president, which would allow Kristol to stave off the Trump threat and regain control of the party in 2020 without actually having to formally support Clinton.

Watch it again. (I just did).

Sure sounds like “outfought” to me.

[utahagen]

I’ll do that when I get a chance. Thanks again for the laugh. These are strange times indeed...

[The Continental Op]

You’re right. Horrible person, partly responsible for purges that drove many patriotic traditional conservatives from the party.

[tumblindice]

Neo-cons like Kristol are squeezing out bricks.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

He throws Cotton in for legitimacy. He would never really back him.

Bill Kristol is an elitist pussy

[detective]

Bill Kristol is an elitist pussy.

Please don't insult pussies. Pussies are good.

Kristol is a despicable, lying, two faced POS.

[traderrob6]

Probably not.

[Balding_Eagle]

This is a different time than when Reagan was running.

The hatred towards the third party will be so overwhelming that the candidate will be forced to drop out.

[scooby321]

Not one of those people can beat Trump

Billy Boy who in financing them?

Hard money

Party workers , phone banks, list of people

Billy it seems you don't belong in the Republican party anymore

I would be worried about a job more Magazines

Not exactly a growth industry.

His Buddy, Steve Hayes floated the idea of General Petraeus and Mark Zuckerburg.

Hayes was so upset he forgot Mark is only 31 Years old not 36.
