I’m not the right person to challenge Trump and Hillary... (David French)
National Review ^ | June 5, 2016 | David French

Posted on 06/05/2016 6:01:54 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

Here is a sentence I never thought I’d type: After days of prayer, reflection, and serious study of the possibilities, I am not going to run as an independent candidate for president of the United States.

I gave it serious thought — as a pretty darn obscure lawyer, writer, and veteran — only because we live in historic times. Never before have both parties failed so spectacularly, producing two dishonest, deceitful candidates who should be disqualified from running for town council, much less leader of the free world.

I already forgot the guy was running.

I guess Billy Kristol doesn’t have as much clout as he thought. Either way, I am sure they appreciated the short-term increase in page views.

David French just pulled the plug from the #NeverTrump movement.

Besides a handful of disaffected Washington insiders, it had no real support.

And there was no groundswell of popular enthusiasm for a David French candidacy.

Oops, perhaps Kristol should drag his sorry arse into the race. Then we can at least have a good laugh, because it will show him just what a big loser he is.

Good.

French surrendered quickly.

“Kristol is not pleased.”

Kristol looks like he’s hoping he put on his Dends this morning.

French is a douche...hopefully his moment of mini-fame is over forever.

Bill Kristol should have run.

How many WS and NRO staffers would vote for him?

I guess he could count on the support of everyone in Washington but practically no one else.

Call it the Insiders Party.

I don’t know this guy except some of what he has wrote - he is probably a very decent man - but being a near total political neophyte, he would on a total fool’s errand to take on this task - especially a mere 5 months before the election for President

What a graceless opus Mr. French offered up. He’s too irrelevant for an opus. Kristol can give up his mischief-making, and either improve his lame pamphlet (used to be a magazine), or shut it down altogether.

He’s not even the person to run against Harold Stassen or Pat Paulson.

I bet Kristol is in a state of shock and panic now.
