Anthony Scaramucci talks to Bill Kristol about trying to force Trump off the GOP ticket in 2020
CNBC ^ | August 16, 2019 | Brian Schwartz

The “Never Trump” movement has a new ally: hedge fund boss Anthony Scaramucci, who was fired in 2017 after serving 11 days as communications director in President Donald Trump’s White House.

Anti-Trump pundit and veteran Republican operative Bill Kristol confirmed to CNBC in a few brief text messages that he has spoken to Scaramucci since the SkyBridge Capital founder had a public falling out with Trump this summer. Asked whether he has spoken to Scaramucci about trying to find another presidential candidate to replace Trump on the top of the GOP ticket next year, Kristol said: “Yup.”

But Kristol, who has been critical of Scaramucci in the past, wouldn’t go much further than that when describing his interactions with the former Trump surrogate.

Lyndon Johnson.

He messed up the Vietnam war so bad he didn’t run for a second term.

Mooch, you are taking a big risk. Go quietly.

Or we’ll call you “Little Fredo”

Mooch must have a book coming out!
OR
Someone is paying him big time

Why else commit professional and political craziness?

Previously, he seemed to be somewhat respected, respectable and liked in a puppy dog kind of way.

Seems to be a pattern of RINOs trying to find paid employment, based on their alleged Republican membership, by trashing Pres Trump on the anti Trump venues. No common sensed employer, or client, whatever their market, would hire any person who had a resume as thin as these political opportunists trading on bad mouthing a former employer for no better reason than that expressed by any of them, including this latest loser.

Mooch is what Mooch does. In Yiddish, he is known as a Schnorer. The guy who shows up to mooch at any Bar Mitzvah or other kind of party. Such people are welcomed but ridiculed behind their back. Pathetic.

Are we missing it Freepers. This sounds like the now band everywhere Thomas Wictor’s “Judas Goat” theory, and is Scaramucci leading all the never Trumpers to there demise?

Just who do they plan on replacing him with? Let me guess: Romney? Weld? What utter nonsense.

I did not read the entire article, however I somehow suspect that (ugh) Willard and/or (double ugh) Kasich and/or (triple ugh) Jeb either will or already have figured into their little plans.

Just my suspicion, we don't correspond.

If they couldn’t get Trump off the ticket in 2016, there is NO WAY IN HELL they’ll get him off in 2020.

And yes, they tried, really hard to remove Trump in 2016, led by Paul Ryan. What stopped them in their tracks was when elected Republicans were told, IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, that if Trump wasn’t on the ticket, the base, THE ENTIRE BASE, was simply going to stay home...and hence cost them their seats.

This is about the most comical thing I’ve heard today. When Trump came into the picture in 2015, I laughed because I recognized he was a different animal than anything these lifetime scab politicians had dealt with before. They had nothing on him and try as they might, they can’t get anything. He had no allegiance to anyone but the voters. He couldn’t be bought as he was already rich, and couldn’t be threatened with embarrassment as he didn’t care what they thought.

He had a history of accomplishing what he said he would do, and had nothing to lose getting it done. They have nothing to offer him he hasn’t already got, and can’t take that away from him. They can’t hurt him, and the people love him. In the old vernacular, they are outrun, outgunned, and insignificant.

If they piss him off, they’ll get kicked off his plane. If they try to embarrass him in print, he take their press pass. If they get stupid, he’ll twitter it throughout the world which they can’t stop. And he doesn’t care which party does it. He hammers everyone and scare them to death.

He’s just different from anything they’ve ever dealt with. And I thought it was great at the time, and it’s getting better all the time. You go boss!!
