Bill Kristol: ‘We’ll Have to Start’ New Party If Trump Wins Nomination

On Monday, Weekly Standard editor-in-chief Bill Kristol tweeted out what the rest of the Republican establishment is thinking: better Hillary than Donald. Here’s the tweet:

Crowd-sourcing: Name of the new party we’ll have to start if Trump wins the GOP nomination? Suggestions welcome at editor@weeklystandard.com

— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) December 20, 2015

Kristol isn’t alone. As I wrote at Daily Wire today, Politico’s Jeff Greenfield says, “If the operatives I talked with are right, Trump running as a Republican could well face a third-party run – from the Republicans themselves.” That follows last Thursday’s Politico column from former New Jersey governor Christine Todd Whitman, who compared Trump to Hitler and called him “evil,” and last Wednesday’s Politico column reporting that Jeb Bush’s aides “began looking into the possibility of making a clear break with Trump – potentially with the candidate stating that, if Trump were the nominee, Bush would not support him.”

Might be for the best.

10 seconds apart - great minds think alike. :)

Yes, I totally believe that. Look at Facebook. It is totally ruled by lefty memes. Conservatives are too polite to tell their friends and family that they are idiots on a public forum, for the most part.

I hope it is an epic wave. I hope we here at Free Republic can finally coalesce around Trump because he truly is our last hope for our nation. (With all due respect to Ted Cruz, who has shown he is a great man also in this campaign).

We need to unite, then we need to get loud and go out and each one win a vote or two from those open to convincing.

Perhaps Lindsey Graham can help lead Kristol’s new party?

[TigerClaws]

Interesting to ponder.

Republicans told us we needed a party with more diversity.

Trump is polling 25% among blacks.

They told us we needed better turnout.

Trump’s voters are motivated.

Everything they said they wanted they have in Trump and they hate the guy.

[Charles Henrickson]

As a conservative, I would have a very hard time voting for the fraud and phony Trump, who is a noncon. He would be the worst Republican nominee of my lifetime. I hope he does not win.

FUBK

I have made the vain, hastened mistake of not reading all comments on the thread. Please forgive me.

[Jane Long]

Great points.

Trump has smoked out the lying RINO’s, in addition to a lot of other things.

They never meant what they’ve said about diversity or turn out. Trump has proven them to be complete liars.

[onyx]

The RINO’s don’t even realize how happy this would make us!!!
Go start your new party, KristHole....better yet, just combine your new party with the Dems. Same diff.


I'm still MAD as Hell and here's why.

Much ado was made about Trump pledging loyalty to the GROSS OLD PARTY, and then when TRUMP'S nomination looks almost inevitable, (before even one vote's been cast!) we get the likes of Billy-goat Kristol and his pathetic schoolyard/barnyard rant.

How's THAT for GOP LOYALTY?

LOL.

You're right!

What the liars failed to mention is that they want a candidate they control!

A fellow traveler, to be exact! One of their own!

It's all about status quo!

TRUMP is IN YOUR FACE, SMASH MOUTH and it's their mouth's he's smashing!

[SunLakesJeff]

Free Republic has also stood guard. Lord help us all! [Even if I have to sub out apostrophes!]

[onyx]

Yes, Yes, Yes!

You’re right, too, Jane Long!

“Personally, I think the GOP should die”

First, the GOP must die.

Everything else comes after that.

---

The GOP has died at the hands of these RINO’s. They just don’t know it yet.

[TigersEye]

Yes, you will, Bill. Call it a Going Away Party.

[onyx]

I have to go submit my suggestion to Kristol for the name of his new party: P*ssy Party.

[LibWhacker]

Good idea. Call it the Irrelevant Party.

[SunLakesJeff]

P*ssy Party.

Please invite Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt, Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, and many other local and national radio hosts to the party.

“The downside: if Trump wins, there is no conservative movement in America because conservatives will have abandoned principals for a wall.”

And your opposition to building a wall on our southern border is motivated by what particular principle?

[Nextrush]

A good liberal Republican name would be the “Rockefeller Party”.
