Bill Kristol Claiming He Has An Independent Candidate
Twitter ^ | May 29, 2016 | Pinkbell

Posted on 05/29/2016 2:56:32 PM PDT by Pinkbell

Per Twitter

"Just a heads up over this holiday weekend: There will be an independent candidate--an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance."

-Bill Kristol

Who is it, Mittens?

This absolutely disgusts me. This fool is going to cost us the election because he and some bitter Cruz supporters didn't get their way. He knows it will split the vote and we won't win. A few things:

1)He wants to cause enough of a vote split where no candidate has the 270. Ok. Let's say he does that. He will literally be usurping the will of all the people who voted for Trump in the primaries and general (which will be way more than his guy).

2)That assumes his candidate will even win one state. I would venture to guess his candidate won't win a single state but will divide the votes enough to help Hillary.

3)Maybe he wants Hillary. I had a Cruz supporter tell me on Twitter he'd rather 4 years of Hillary (he says it will only be 4 years) and 2 Supreme Court picks from her (he insists it will only be 2) so he can get a conservative like Cruz in 4 years.

Somewhere Hillary is cackling at the stupid party and "principled" conservatives who are willing to torpedo Trump to get all or nothing.

Let's hope either Bill is bluffing or this fails. Even Trump the other day seemed to concede it would give Hillary the election.

It takes a special kind of elitist attitude to usurp the voters of your own party and tell them you know better.

Kristol has gone off the deep end.

That’s true. Of course, Billy, the Kingmaker, thinks he can command the seas to part. (Any chance, his pick is Ted Cruz?)

Very good point. Seems as if even the one-time they had a win it ended up harming us in the end.

No chance. Perot got 17% of the vote in 92, didn’t win one electoral vote. And Kristallnacht’s stupid game vould draw as many anti-Hillary as anti-Trump and still siphon a lot of ankkes’ voters.

Trump just tweeted:

“If dummy Bill Kristol actually does get a spoiler to run as an Independent, say good bye to the Supreme Court!”

Meaning Hillary will stack the Court with leftist judges who’ll take away our 1st and 2nd Amendment freedoms!

That’s conservative???

“Great idea! Why is this guy so anxious to get Hillary in? These damn journalists get a free pass when it comes to their associations, time to change that. “

it’s all about his neocon agenda wet dream where we need multiple intractable costly and bloody foreign wars going on at any given time. Hilary, Mitt, Cruz (and O’zero) have proven willing to oblige...and therefore they get the nod from Billy Kristal (Henry Kissinger’s heir)

Isn’t LaRouche deceased?

Still kicking, or at least breathing, at 93.

By comparison, Trent Lott is a spry 74.

Kristol needs to STFU, go away and never be heard from again.

If only these supposedly “conservatives” took it so hard to 0bama the last 8 years.

This statement is painfully stupid. If Hillary wins this year, there will NOT be a conservative elected in 4 years. And having Hillary select Supreme Court justices will doom the country.

No sane, real conservative could possibly hold the opinion you quoted. There are plenty of liberals in conservative clothing who try to fool real conservatives with such nonsense and sadly, there are some who fall for it.

Maybe she could get “The Reverend” Jesse Jackson (of “Operation Push” fame) to be her running mate, then they would have the “Push/No Push” ticket.

No way! Steve Forbes would not run as a third party.

If it’s anyone, it’s Cruz.

Well, he better hurry up!

Do you realize how impressive this is for OREGON?? Trump leads Clinton 44-42 overall and leads Hillary 53-26 among independent voters.
