Kristol: Independent presidential bid 'still doable' for Romney, Sasse
The Hill ^ | July 17, 2016 | Jessie Hellmann

Posted on 07/17/2016 11:59:43 AM PDT by jazusamo

Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol made yet another plea Sunday for Mitt Romney or Sen. Ben Sasse to launch a third-party bid to challenge presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

"Look what's happening to our country. Look at the two party nominees. An independent candidacy is still doable. Please. @MittRomney @BenSasse," Kristole tweeted on Sunday.

Kristol has spearheaded the charge for an independent candidate to enter the race and has worked with conservatives seeking to deny Trump the nomination at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next week.

Kristol earlier this month encouraged Republican delegates to protest on the floor of the convention.

Trump has ripped Kristol over his efforts, calling him a "loser" and a "dummy."

"Bill Kristol has been wrong for 2yrs-an embarrassed loser, but if the GOP can't control their own, then they are not a party. Be tough, R's!" Trump tweeted in May.

"If dummy Bill Kristol actually does get a spoiler to run as an Independent, say good bye to the Supreme Court!"

I’m not sure what your point is other than to confirm what I said about it being too late.

Just that...

It's too late 155 Electoral votes, out of 538 are already gone.

92 of those went to Romney last time,
When he only got 206

Sounds like Kristol’s mangina still has a real severe yeast infection.

Mr. Kristol is confusing effort for progress. Go home. You're drunk.

I thought he was dead. Sat shiva for him over two years ago when he disappeared from mainstream media on Fox News.

Inasmuch we have rules to post pictures of Catherine Zeta-Jones whenever there is an article by Maureen Dowd, I think the following picture should become a requirement for ALL Bill Kristol articles regarding DumpTrump or disrupting Trump's nomination:

I thought that was why Gary Johnson/WilliamWeld were out there. To get on the ballots as Libertarians? Aren’t they good enough distractions?

You are probably right. I’m just sensing a desperation here like it was almost life and death important to Kristol. Very strange...

Mittens would be lucky to get anyone other than his Mommy, Beck, and Kristol to write his name on a ballot. Well, maybe also Ka-sick, Linda, and Jebbie.

Filing deadlines for Independents.

Plus they have to have X amount of signatures on a petition at time of filing.

So...If Romney hasn't started already, it's a wee bit late.

ROTFLMAO!

No surprise coming from the son of a communist who hung around Trotsky.
