If frontrunner Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination, one of the biggest names in the Republican Establishment, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, says he “doubts” he would support the Democrat in a general election but would “support getting someone good on the ballot as a third party candidate.”

“I doubt I’d support Donald. I doubt I’d support the Democrat,” Kristol told CNNMoney via email. “I think I’d support getting someone good on the ballot as a third party candidate.”

The old GOP Establishment hotness was demanding Trump pledge in writing to support the Republican nominee, even if it isn’t Trump. He has since done so.

It now looks as though the new GOP Establishment hotness is threatening to support a third party candidate if Trump wins — the same third party maneuver the Establishment loudly and repeatedly assured would mean a Hillary Clinton victory if Trump chose that route.

While Trump looks to expand the Republican Party, Kristol’s comments will appear to many like a childish threat to annihilate the Party if the GOP Elite don’t get their way................The GOP may just become a third rate worthless party...

[mandaladon]

I have never liked this creepy Bill Kristol...

[SaveFerris]

The GOPe are already a third-rate worthless party.

The long knives are coming out.

[kjam22]

If they pulled a stunt like that the tea party would own the House before it was done...

[:The GOP may just become a third rate worthless party...”]

Halfway there. Mostly worthless already.

[Fido969]

The RNC should have made him sign an agreement that he would support the nominee.

[trisham]

We’re learning more than we may have wanted to know about republicans and so-called “conservatives”.

[JOAT]

Something tells me Kristol has an inflated sense of his own importance.

Shhh! Nobody tell him no one cares.

[SeeSharp]

Who cares?

I've seen conservative voters.
I've seen liberal voters.
I've seen evangelical voters.
I've seen socialist voters.
I've seen libertarian voters.

Has anybody ever seen a "neo-conservative" voter?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

And yet, if Jeb somehow manages to pull it off, Kristol, with that smug, self-satisfied look that he always seems to have on his face, will cavalierly tell conservatives that they are committing suicide and destroying the country if they vote for a third party candidate.

[Mozilla]

He is going off the deep end like Glenn Beck, Rick Wilson, Jonah Goldberg, Cheri Jacobus, Eric Erickson, Ana Navarro and Stephen Hayss.

[jeannineinsd]

It is not like Bill Kristol’s support enabled John McCain or Mitt Romney to win.

[mkjessup]

Bill Kristol. It’s not a name anymore, just a punchline.

[mountainlion]

I could vote for Sarah Palin for third party.

[Paladin2]

Shark bait as the GOPee becomes extinct.

[HarleyLady27]

Oh so this nit-wit can go third party, which brings the question: I didn’t know nit-wit was running FOR anything, but nobody else can?

How about that ‘pledge’ nit-wit???
