WASHINGTON--The Republican National Committee (RNC) is throwing cold water on pundit Bill Kristol's efforts to form a third party to challenge Donald Trump in the general election.
Bill Kristol, son of Irving, is trying to get retired senator Tom Coburn or retired Texas governor Rick Perry to run independently if the GOP Establishment can't figure out how to broker the convention in Cleveland to deny Trump the nomination.
RNC spokesman Sean Spicer told Breitbart News that "any effort to facilitate a third party ultimately is helping to elect Hillary Clinton."
"The Republican Party must be united to take back the White House," Spicer said.
Kristol has been touting his potential third party on Twitter....

well they got that right anyway
He’s more than condemned by me—he’ll FOREVER be on my sh*t list.
Well lets flood them anyway to tell them KEEP ON IT!
this is welcome news.
we have to keep the pressure on EVERYONE to pull NO antics at the convention OR back a third party.
let them know we’ll make their lives heck.
That weasel Kristol.... He’s screwed the country for too long.
First thing the RNC has correctly assessed in about 7 years.
He should be on Twitter begging doctors to surgically remove his perpetual smirk.
Evidently George Will didn’t get the memo.
He all but admitted he’d vote for a third party candidate if Trump was the Republican nominee.
agreed!
Kristol is so fucking stupid. If those guys could beat Trump that they would have beaten him for the nomination.
Didn’t Trump just meet with RNC leaders? I’m guessing Trump made his point.
What am I missing? Does the fact that "Irving" is his father somehow contribute to the story? Or maybe he's FROM Irving and that's somehow important. WTH?
Post of the day!!!
Irving Kristol is considered the father of the Neo-Conservative movement that his son is now a leader of.
George Will should have retired after Reagan won.
George Will should have retired after the Cubs won the Series.
Color me shocked!
Who ever said he was Conservative , republican or even a Rino. It should come with a waiver whn George Will and David Brooks are not conservative , Republican or even a RINO these writers are not even blue dog democrats
The presidential nominee basically controls the party and I'm thinking that many RNC leaders are realizing that they better start working with Trump if they want to be relevant after July.
