Full title of article:

"Sad and pathetic: Delusional Bill Kristol prepares ‘war machine’ to challenge Trump for 2020 GOP nomination"

Excerpt:

Swamp fever has taken a toll on a number of DC-dwelling conservative pundits and driven them mad. They seem to be competing with each other to see who can bark at the moon loudest. There’s Jennifer Rubin, who has excoriated Trump for taking positions that she previously advocated. There’s George Will, who wished for a 50 state sweep for corrupt Hillary Clinton. But making a strong move to capture leadership of this cohort is Bill Kristol, who still fancies himself a kingmaker, despite the ignominious defeat of his second-choice Trump challenger Evan McMullin after first choice David French bowed out.

Oh yeah, Bill "impressive 3rd party candidate" Kristol back at it I see.

Flashback to 2016 when Trump stomped on Kristol's head:

After Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol on Sunday evening talked up “an impressive” third-party candidate soon entering the 2016 race, Donald Trump ripped into him on Twitter, calling the prominent conservative voice a "loser” and a “dummy.”

Kristol, one of Trump’s most vocal detractors, has been actively seeking a White House candidate to challenge the de facto GOP nominee from the right, and Sunday he indicated progress:

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 (@BillKristol) May 29, 2016

Trump fired back in a trio of tweets, calling for Republicans “to be smart & strong” and rally behind him in the general election.

Bill Kristol has been wrong for 2yrs-an embarrassed loser, but if the GOP can't control their own, then they are not a party. Be tough, R's!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 29, 2016

The Republican Party has to be smart & strong if it wants to win in November. Can't allow lightweights to set up a spoiler Indie candidate!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 29, 2016

If dummy Bill Kristol actually does get a spoiler to run as an Independent, say good bye to the Supreme Court!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 29, 2016

Earlier this month, an article from the Breitbart website called Kristol a “Republican spoiler” and “renegade Jew” for his efforts to undermine Trump. Many conservatives believe a third-party bid would split the GOP and hand the race to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

Where does his money come from and who are his sources? Anyone know? Soros?


It comes from big money GOP donors like the Koch Brothers. Guys like Kristol and Jonah Goldberg are paid well into the six figures to be their parrots.

Does anyone remember that he [Buchanan] challenged H.W. Bush in the 1992 Republican primary?
I remember it like it was yesterday. He gave what I thought was a fabulous, inspiring speech. The next day the media proclaimed it to've been the insane ramblings of an obvious Nazi and unrepentant racist. I think it was then that I realized I was out of step with a huge number of my fellow Americans.

Kristol and George Will are pathetic excuses for “conservatives”. I wouldn’t read the “The Weekly Standard” if it were free.

Just as we preface George Soros with “Nazi collaborator”, we need to stop calling Kristol Conservative. Let’s replace it with “Treasonous” Kristol. OR “dumb as a door nail” Kristol. OR “Stuck on Stupid” Kristol.

The deep state is populated by the uniparty. The RINO’s are worse than the leftists.

Pat Buchanan ....I dispute Pat on Israel and the Islamic Jihad threat. I am Jewish. But on everything else Pat has been right for 30 years
Such as:
Immigration
Free trade
Abortion

We all know that The Donald is an echo of what Pat Buchanan has been advocating for decades. Though Pat never talked much about The Swampy Deep State. He might have had a blind spot due to living in the Washington DC region for many decades.

Of course! Did you know Pat was personally responsible for slavery, the Holocaust,the Great Depression and Corvair engines catching on fire?

Billy does not understand that the war machine against all traitors and domestic enemies is about to go on an all out rampage. We are only getting started.

".... Bill Kristol, who still fancies himself a kingmaker...."

A "kingmaker" in his own mind.

Everyone else thinks he a buffoon and a clown.

Kristol's arrogant pronouncements and actions are laughable.
