This week we asked ABC News contributor and Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol five questions about Donald Trump, the GOP's current frontrunner for the nomination for president, and the broader 2016 race for the White House. Kristol will appear on the "This Week" roundtable Sunday.
1] You sent a tweet suggesting a new party would have to be started if Donald Trump wins the GOP nomination. Were you serious? Would you leave the Republican party if he does win the nomination?
KRISTOL: I was semi-serious. I don't think Trump will be the nominee, so I don't expect it to be an issue. But since I don't think I could support Trump, and I'd like to have someone to vote for, if Trump were to be the nominee, I'd be open to a new party, probably for 2016 only -- but you never know.

Whether you are a Trump fan or not...discounting the possibility of him getting the nomination is pretty silly.
Another deluded wish from the GOPe, Dem, and Cruz supporter alliance
Wishful Thinking on Billy’s part, or is he actually ignorant of how unimportant Iowa is in the overall scheme of things?
“Kristol suffers from “little man syndrome”.
Is that what they call it. :)
I understand why and how he feels about wanting a third party; I felt exactly the same way when Romney was nominated!
I really hate to burst everyone’s bubble, But trump is playing a part & gettin the “base” fired up & raising money for the party. The head of the rnc has said that there will be NO independent candidate, but an establishment one, has been running for over 2 1/2 years & has a famous name. This upcoming election is an already forgone conclusion. And the next president has been decided & NOT by us either, but by those with very deep pockets & lots of influence over everyone in the gov.’t/s The will of the people has been thwarted & short of another real ugly, bloody [UN]civil war will never come about ever again. There are too many little factions fighting each other for power, for any real work to be done.
In other words...why on Earth do we still pay attention to those cornholes?
Talk about a CUT OF YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACEer !
Grasping. Straws. Desperate.
I have a dog that has the same issue. But it is cute in him and he uses it to protect me!
‘’The guy’s name escapes me but he’s got billions.’’
God?
More wishful thinking by the GOPe.
Kristol forges ahead doggedly with his unbroken string of wrong predictions concerning the Trump candidacy.
Did he say this in that douchy breathy voice he uses to try to make himself sound smart?
LoL. Girl Kristol is in lala land.
Someone should remind this ahole Kristol that Reagan lost the Iowa caucus in 1980.
I’m for Cruz but Kristol (and Will, and Lowry et. al.) can go to hell.
Please remove all of the tinfoil; there's mold growing on it and it smells.
Of course, so was Reagan until he realized that party was really anti-American, but then, so has the GOP become, unless we, the people, drag it back from the precipice
