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.

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.

Bill Kristol, son of Irving, is trying to get ...

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?

If Trump keeps coming up with ads like this and slamming her publicly the way he's been, she will be lucky to have a TV in prison.

Ain’t nobody gonna run as a third party. It’s all brinkmanship to try and keep people in line. When Trump threatened it, it was to ensure the RNC stuck to their word. When Bill Kristol does it, it’s a toothless, laughable threat. At this point, the donor class is spent. They have flushed hundreds of millions into the toilet based on the promises of the “insider experts”, with nothing at all to show for it.

I expect many of wealthy “kingmakers” to sit out the general election when Trump gets the nomination, and I’m perfectly fine with that. Some will get on board though, when they realize Trump is infinitely preferable to a Clinton/Sanders presidency, and that’s fine too. A few might even come around and realize that Trump is the candidate we need. Whatever happens, he has demonstrated that he’s capable of winning using only a fraction of the funds that a “normal” campaign uses. He doesn’t need to walk around with his pockets turned out promising away his principles to get fat Super PAC checks.

Screw Bill Kristol and his desperation. A broken clock is right twice a day, and the RNC is right to denounce his empty threats.

The RNC and GOPE don’t care who ultimately wins, Hillary or Bernie or Kasich. They will keep their seats and perks. That is all they are concerned about. America, not so much.

Is the RNC finally coming to their senses and realize the consequences of what they started, just to get rid of Trump, even if he is the one the voters want?

There was an article on thehill.com a few days ago that pretty accurately explained why a 3rd party bid is really a non-starter. They estimated it would take a minimum of $250 million to run a viable 3rd party bid. Also, there are time limits quickly approaching to get on the presidential ballots in every state, many of which require a substantial number of petition signatures. So any third party would already have to have a nationwide network of fund-raising and signature gathering in place. While it wouldn't be impossible, it would have to start pretty much immediately, even a month down the road would probably be too late.

Trump is having a big pow wow with the RNC big wigs in DC tomorrow in his attorneys office. I am VERY curious how this will play out. I wonder if it will be the bat scene from the movie The untouchables....

Every time I see Kristol it reminds me of the guy from Brokeback Mountain:

With the Democrats we get Hiilary. With the old guard Republicans we get Hillary. With Turmp we might get a chance. Maybe. I’d rather go down with an orangutan like Trump than more RINO’s like we see in Congress and the Senate. For now, I’ll pin my hopes on Cruz. If not, Trump will do.

While the party bureaucrats and donors might not care about loosing the White House, I think a lot of the GOP rank and file are starting to get nervous about how a 3rd party would effect their careers. They’re beginning to see the handwriting on the wall, and how destructive an ‘Anybody but Trump’ opposition candidate would be to the GOP in general, and to their own reelection prospects in particular. Even many establishment members of congress are starting to see this. While they may be loyal to the establishment, that loyalty isn’t so great that they’re willing to lose their jobs over it.

While individual members of Congress may be expendable to the party higher-ups in their effort to maintain the Uniparty status quo, the loyalty of an individual RINO politician isn’t going to extend beyond his or self interest. Without reelection, none of it matters to them.

Trump! Watch out! It’s a trick! Cruz has fallen for it! Don’t you fall for it, too!
