Considering what candidates are left in the GOP, and DNC, and considering the GOP elites betrayal of their pledge, I am increasingly wanting to see Trump call them on their betrayal and run AS the independant.
He needs a smoking gun though to make it work... like being denied the nomination with a clear majority.
What stinks about this is they asked us to hold our noses and vote McCain and Romney. Now it’s their turn to hold their nose. Well I’ll be holding my nose again this year if it’s Trump too, but still.
They’ve always told us to support the Republican candidate who was the RINO and not go third party.
Now they will go and do what they told us not to do.
Priceless.

He did say “third party” versus “second”, take note.
If Bill Kristol says this while knowing a third party throws the election over to the communist democrats, then he’s nothing but a traitor.
Kristol is an establishment idiot.
>> What the hell have these supposed Republicans been fighting for for all these years?
Exactly.
I think Kristol went to the dark side more than awhile ago.
“In truth, they’ve been worse by far than the RATS because they’ve been successul at BSing all of us into thinking that this business of “installing conservatism” was just damned hard to do and that they were doing the best that they could. Screw me once, shame on you, screw me over and over again, shame on me.”
Man you hit the nail on the head. That's exactly what I've been thinking. Politicians they've never done anything conservative or pro-American just the opposite. All talk and promises
FUBK!
But that's just semantics. Point is, Kristol is saying another party other tuan GOP/Democrata is needed. And isn't that exactly what those who talk about the Uniparty urge as well?
That’s for sure! I will be SO glad when this election is done!
You missed my point. By saying “third party”, he still regards the Democrats and Republicans as separate entities ideologically.
As for alleged legalities, that’s akin to regarding the Supreme Court’s kritocratic social moves of late as “legal”.
I didn’t miss your point. I think your point is irrelevant to the issue of whether you think we need a new party. Whether you count them separately or just as one, the core issue is do we need another party (whether you count that as no. 2 or no. 3), or not?
Bully Boy at his idiotic best
What the hell have these supposed Republicans been fighting for for all these years?
REPUBLICANS FIGHTING? SINCE WHEN?
JUST IN CASE NOBODY HAS TAKEN NOTICE, THE REPUBLICANS HAVE ROLLED OVER AND CAVED IN TO THE DEMOCRATS ALL THE TIME IN THE LAST FEW YEARS!!!
Haven’t we all agree that the GOP essentially goes along with much of the Leftist agenda? I don’t have any respect for the RNC or broader GOPe.
They work against our wishes. They could have defunded anything they wanted. They haven’t. We have been sold out.
I have said this to lead into this. I think it will make more sense.
We don’t want to go third party, because unless the right person does it, it will fail. Who besides Trump would have the gravitas to pull it off? And even then, who would advise that if you can possibly avoid it? Third party runs are very iffy.
Well, guess what. Floor fights at the Republican Convention are just as iffy. You don’t have a chance of losing to a Democrat there, but you do have a chance of losing to something almost as bad, a RINO infested GOP.
So when people talk of third party bids, or floor fights, they are both things to be avoided at all cost.
Going into a convention by plan, to enter into a floor fight as your only chance, is crazy talk, and if you actually consider yourself a Conservative, it isn’t just crazy talk, it’s the talk of political suicide.
We have only one guy now that can avoid a floor fight. And at the present time, we have folks trying to destroy his chances with all their might, any way, any idea, anything to bring this to a floor fight.
Folks, who wants a floor fight?
Conservatives? Ha! They’ll never win one.
The GOPe RNC wants a floor fight. And those who help to get them into one, are not our friends.
We have waited for a guy like Trump for almost 30 years.
Right now, all to many folks are trying to destroy this opportunity for the GOPe.
That’s just confounding if you’re a true Conservative and want to see things change.
NOT ONE THING WILL CHANGE OVER THE NEXT 8 YEARS
IF THERE IS FLOOR FIGHT
So I ask folks to please stop trying to force one.
When you do, you are doing on of two things. You are revealing that you can’t grasp this simple dynamic, or that you are now and always have been in this for the GOPe.
I am not! The GOPe can go straight to hell.
They wouldn’t listen to us, and I’ll be damned if I’ll listen to them now.
The MSM doing what they do best.
