Never-Trumper Bill Kristol Is Eyeing This Conservative Lawyer For a Third-Party Run May. 31, 2016 5:35pm Tré Goins-Phillips

Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, a prominent leader seeking to block Donald Trump from becoming president, is working to recruit conservative attorney David French, according to two Republicans familiar with the Never-Trumper’s efforts.

French, a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, is a constitutional lawyer, the author of several books and the recipient of the Bronze Star, according to his biography at National Review, where he serves as a staff writer. French lives in Columbia, Tenn., with his wife, Nancy, and three children.

“Conservative” is a stretch. He was standing up for Saint Skittles (Trayvon Martin) back when that was going on. He’s pro-NAFTA, probably supports TPP, and is more than likely pro-amnesty as well.

Kristol is solidifying his “most hated man in America” title. He’s nothing but an arrogant, self-loathing Jew.

That's EXACTLY what conservative means to a-holes like Kristol.

He was in the Reserves. Which means his Army MOS was not one of the "combat arms." I'm assuming he was a direct commission as a lawyer and never went outside the wire when he was deployed.

It's common knowledge that when Reserve units deploy, a Bronze Star is a given. From what I understand.

This pretty much shows "Never Trump" is relegated to a few self-important die-hards at The Weekly Standard and National Review.

Who's French's running mate going to be? Fred Barnes?

Polls show Trump’s GOP support for the general election against Hillary Clinton is just as high as it ever was with Romney, McCain or George W. Bush.

Kristol, and anyone associated with him in any way, are dirtbags, deserving nothing but scorn and contempt.

No experience in gov or private sector.
No $$$
No Base support
and this is the best he could come up with?

Might as well open the phone book, close your eyes and point.
