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.

Last night Ed Rollins said on the Lou Dobbs show that the guy would pull the plug in a week.French heard what Rollins said and said screw it and went ahead and pulled the plug.

"...as a pretty darn obscure lawyer, writer, and veteran..."


I have to say, when I first heard his name being bandied about here on FR, I was trying to picture who "David French" was, and I ended up doing a Google image search for that name, and I came up with these two photos for David French.   (I don't want either one of them to be president, or any other person named French for that matter, so I'm happy to hear that he is rejecting Bill Krissytol's weird suggestiion.)



David French (1)


David French (2)

But what is more embarrassing? Is it doing your best to defend the nation you love from two people who are unworthy of its highest office? Or is it using your God-given gifts and talents to advance the interests of a man who cares only for himself and who rejects the very values you’ve long claimed to uphold?

David French doesn't 'get it'... he was chosen by a small group of elites - people who (like elites the world over) felt THEY were smarter than the people.

French and Kristol are wrong in this ...Elites always devolve into groups that feather than own nest - and star to 'fear' the people.

Just like the 'invisible hand' works in economics - a million times better than committee choosing what's to be produced... and what not... The invisible hand works in politics... we elect the people the country needs at the time. Even with Obama - which to our side is pure mistake - was easily better than a 'committee of elites choosing one of their own. That way is the thugocratcy.

The only principle here is the almighty nose in the air stupidity of elites down through the ages. French seems like a nice man - a nice man who's clueless about our great experiment... trusting the people.

That man has lost friends-good friends over his little snit.

LOL! Is it me or has FR become humorless after Cruzilla vs Donaldus Maximus. Or are you throwing pearls to the swine, since many may not know Buckley Vs Vidal circa 1968...

To be fair, Mr Depardieu is now Russian, not French.

I don’t like to nitpick, but self-betterment should always be noted.
