The 'Never Trump' Third Party Candidate is...Conservative Writer David French?
Townhall.com ^ | 05/31/2016 | Guy Benson

Posted on 05/31/2016 7:41:18 PM PDT by Simon Foxx

And the grand reveal is...National Review writer David French? And it's not even confirmed? Don't get me wrong: French is a decorated Iraq war veteran, a strong writer, and a principled conservative whose stalwart commitment to religious liberty is admirable, even if one disagrees from time to time. He's also advanced eloquent, consistent and compelling arguments against both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton throughout the 2016 cycle. He's an impressive man. The impressiveness of his team -- if this presidential run ever actually comes to pass -- remains to be seen. But the notion that a relatively little-known writer could parachute into this race at such a late juncture and have a prayer of winning even a single state is, frankly, preposterous.

Didn’t say they were illegal nor as slimy as Clinton’s offshore fundraising. They are none the less corrupt.

Across the table from every corrupt politician is an equally corrupt person buying something from him or her. Trump freely admits he’s that person. Saying “I’m a businessman” doesn’t make it go away. Hard to feel good about that any day of the week.


There is no more corrupt institution in the corporate-government complex than Goldman Sachs. And who is sitting at their table?

That would be stupid, since UNO’s has a place right here in the Danbury Fair Mall, which is less than 30 minute’s from Sam’s house. :-)

You know, he shouldn't have mentioned it if he didn't have enough for everyone... jus sayin'

You’re a political naif who believes in the tooth fairy, it seems, but not intelligent enough to figure out that 4 or 8 years of Hillary or Bernie, or Biden is the end of this nation.

What was Cruz selling when Trump donated to him?

And I’m willing ask how " neither of their families has raked in millions from sleazy Goldman Sachs. Or preached their piousness while self admittedly giving none of those millions to charity" has anything to do with the alleged candidacy of a guy who's not in the race yet.

Just askin'...

This whole thing is a set up to be the “conservative” “principled opposition” to a Trump admin. They figure that is the way to make money off a Trump admin. And really the beltway chattering class is about making money. Everything else is secondary to personal enrichment.

Sure, no problem. You are parroting Loser Cruzer talking points about Trump and I am just reminding you what a fraud Rafael Ted Cruz is.

This is really just Kristol’s way of saying “vote for Hillary” without actually saying it, because if he did openly say it, Hillary’s nomination could be in (further) jeopardy as could be the GE since liberals would stay home because Kristol’s endorsement would make her a “neocon” to libtards.

David French? A National Review writer? WHAAAA????

Yes, make money AND to keep their supposed "power".

The thing is, as much as we all HATE them now, for their "NEVERTRUMP" garbage, this crap makes us hate and revile them all even more and never pay them any mind ever again.

I'm wondering HOW we can make then lose money.

I’m willing to bet Mr. French is a silly fool.

I’m willing to bet that ANYONE accepting such an offer to run Indie at this date in the cycle is a Hillary sycophant, or they could not morally consider handing the election to her.

I’m also willing to bet that anyone who approves of such an treacherous act, coddles such an ass candidate, in these dangerous times, is no patriot, and despises the people who against all conceivable odds VOTED in huge enough numbers for Mr. TRUMP, to overwhelm the RIGGED delegate system layed out and paid for to stop him. So far.

Wake up.

Wake up!

This is a leak that lay at the feet of Bill Kristol. He is not approaching conservatives who know better than to elect Hillary.

He is approaching only those who would actually consider handing her the election.

Like, maybe you also would consider, right? None of this is funny, but telling. There are traitors who would take their butt hurt to the extreme and prefer TRUMP losing to Hillary to satisfy their clinical hatred of the people’s choice— TRUMP.

You are the second person to mention Cruz. Why? I didn’t bring him up nor is he involved in this ridiculous attempt of Kristol’s.

Your guy won. Get over Cruz and own Trump. You’ll feel better.

You read an awful lot into an article that merely supposes what’s going to happen and for whom. That’s really all I was trying to say in that post. No need to get your knickers in a twist just yet.

It’s a pretty stupid thing for Kristol or anyone else to insert someone into the race at this point. I would think you ardent Trump supporters wouldn’t be too bothered by that. After all, he’s “the people’s choice” (that 60% of republicans didn’t vote for), right?

Your comment about Trump’s donations had nothing to do with the article either.

You are the one that brought up Trump’s donations to democrats saying they were selling and he was buying.

So what was Cruz selling?

PF, Take your courteous sounding play-games elsewhere.

You are too obviously a TDS case of butt hurt, for words.

This is no longer a sabotage TRUMP site, where you can grease the skids with your hurt butt for Hillary, even when disguised in this innocuous tone of yours.

Pushing trouble for TRUMP and innuendo against him helps Hillary. But, you knew that already.

Where was Lifenews when George W Bush funded Planned Parenthood for eight years... and Rove still was calling the PP shots at Susan G Komen in 2012?

Answer: Lifenews is on the GOPe dole. Scary big time. Baby parts been sold since the year 2000 by PP.
