Bill Kristol, the editor of the Weekly Standard, said he would likely look beyond both of the major parties if Trump, the clear frontrunner in the GOP's crowded presidential field, emerged with the party's nomination.
"I doubt I'd support Donald. I doubt I'd support the Democrat," Kristol told CNNMoney in an email. "I think I'd support getting someone good on the ballot as a third party candidate."

    Like we all said, Trump isn’t the one that needs to take the loyalty oath.

    After years of these elitists telling us we had to vote for the “lesser of two evils”? Classy.

    Billy supported loser McCain and gave us 8 years of Obama.
And now he’s ready to look for a third party if Trump is the GOP nominee.
Good luck with it.

    More likely Mittens.
The GOP elite seems desperate to elect Hillary.

    Now that idiot kristol knows how so many of us real conservatives have felt about the establishment candidates we have had to choose from in so many past elections.

    Kristol should get the hell out now. He has done enough damage already.
This guy is a McCain crony and will likely find his way into Hillary’s staff, thus ensuring her defeat.
