This was who he had in mind with that much-hyped tweet this weekend that had everyone wondering if Romney had reconsidered? An … NRO writer? Trump fans are forever deriding #NeverTrump as a “movement” consisting of, like, six guys at National Review and the Weekly Standard. And now here we are.
I’m not sure about French’s net worth but I’d guess he’s 0-for-3 on those criteria given that the sort of “vast” wealth needed to run a national campaign runs into the hundreds of millions of dollars. As it turns out, Kristol actually touted French as a potential independent candidate in a piece published in the Standard just a few days ago. No one put two and two together this weekend, though, presumably because, um, no one thought he could possibly be serious.
Yeah, it’s an especially rough spot for an unknown to be in too given how many other, much bigger names have been floated before him, from Romney to Ben Sasse to Adam Kinzinger. There’s a sense that, having exhausted everyone on the team’s depth chart, you’re now pulling fans out of the stands to play QB. I’m not sure either what the value is in picking a conservative challenger to Trump who’s even less well known than Gary Johnson is.
But let’s not overthink it. The goal here may be less about mounting a traditional campaign than simply giving the media a pretext to broadcast an anti-Trump message from the right. No reporter’s going to reprint an attack on Trump by conservative pundit David French; an attack by conservative candidate David French is a different story.

LOL. Well there goes .001% of Trump’s vote. Good job Billy boy.
And I was hoping Kristol would select the Jake From State Farm guy, at least he has a recognizable name
French would make himself look like a clown if he ran.
Everyone would see it as an attempt to elect Hillary.>>> i think everyone would see it as an attempt to become a clown.
This goof wrote this screed last year. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/424277/cuckservative-slur-must-stop
I just sent National Review a request for a refund.
FUBK
I agree the word “cuckservative” is ugly and vaguely obscene sounding. As for David French, I used to enjoy reading him at NRO in the old days, but their whole bizarre anti-Trumpism at all costs, even the cost of four years of Hillary, is too much for me to take.
French will be remembered for one thing only. Saboteur.
Kristol won’t go quietly.
But he’s still going.
Bye bye!
Soros will write his candidate a big check.
All this will amount to is an asterisk (*) in Wikipedia. ;-)
I put this in the other thread, but back in Jan 2015, Mike Cernovich, whom I happen to respect a great deal wrote this article specifically bashing French. French literally is probably the reason the term took off, though it wasn’t created by Cernovich.

Bill Kristol picked David French. Who’s his running mate? The National Review mailroom guy?
I think he is just desperate to retain control.
Good. Hit them where it hurts. I will NEVER remove my tagline.
I guess if you need to explain the joke, it wasn't worth it. My apologies
Two people (Kristol & French) do not party make.
