In order to defeat Donald Trump, The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol admits he is prepared to hand Hillary Clinton the Oval Office. On Wednesday’s “Morning Joe,” the Republican Establishment leader laid out his plot to deprive Trump of the 50% of delegates necessary to secure the nomination. From there, the idea is to go into a brokered convention and cut a kamikaze deal that awards enough delegates to an “acceptable” candidate (who will have won far fewer votes, states, and delegates than Trump).
The problem with the Establishment brokering a behind-closed-door deal that hands the nomination to a Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% , is that the backlash against the Republican Party is almost certain to hand Hillary Clinton the presidency.
If a bunch of rich, angry GOP elites rob Trump supporters of their victory, the blowback will result in so many voters staying home in November, Hillary wins. As NBC’s Chuck Todd pointed out last night, at this point the delegate math is such that the only way to stop Trump is through this scheme at the convention.
As you’ll see below, that outcome is preferable to Kristol, and by extension it is safe to assume that outcome is also fine with the rest of the Republican Establishment.

The GOPe is the “30 pieces of silver Republicans”
were the original 30 pieces of silver a campaign contribution?
Oh, they’re Jews. Good catch. I guess that’s a good reason for a Trumpster to feel as you do that people who have been conservative now for about forty years are not real conservatives. How could they be anywhere near a “real” conservative like your man Trump.
I've always viewed Huckabee as a Establishment Stalking Horse, in it to bleed off votes from Evangelicals.
And then every now and again he says something SO SENSIBLE, SO PATRIOTIC, that I set to wondering again.
I hope Trump breaks his promise to RNC and runs 3rd party if he loses. Republicans are in cahoots with democrats to hold onto their power. Republican victories to regain the house and senate have made no difference in any of our lives or in preventing Obama from getting everything he wants.
I want a third party. A party of workers, liberty lovers and patriots. Time to revolt the 2 current parties.
“Trump will run 3rd party.”
I think it will be the GOPe who will run third party. All the Republicans have to do is pull some shenanigans at the convention denying Trump the nomination and that will guarantee a Hillary win. No big mystery.

They truly spit upon the concepts of freedom and liberty. Is the electorate making a mistake with Trump? Perhaps. But it is the electorate’s choice to make!
Republicans, Democrats, Uniparty, Government Party, all the same. Anything other than freeing the citizenry from the shackles of taxation and regulation.
In fact, it would unelect every Republican in the nation.
The republican party made the mistake of believing that their base would blindly follow them, like blacks blindly follow democrats.
Wrong and I can’t wait to see them go.
If Trump picks an establishment RINO as his VP, it would be a huge mistake.
The GOPe and the rats in the House would impeach Trump on bogus charges, and the GOPe aholes in the Senate and their fellow rats would convict.
Or, they will just assassinate him.
As for the scumbag Kristol, this sack of crap should be swinging from the tallest tree in the District of Criminals.
The GOPe stabbed the Republicans in the back, right? That’s why we need a “real” conservative like Trump. Trump will go after the right enemies. He’s going to make Mexico pay for that wall, too.
Yep, and their States are RED.
Bill Kristol has ONE VOTE. Just like the rest of us - that must piss him off beyond words... I suggest he take his one vote and join the democrat party. He hates the idea of ‘the people’ having a say equal to the elites just as much as democrats hate it...
The difference between a ‘little tax here’ or a ‘little less there’ is NOT defining... Believing in equal rights for all of us is defining... and we don’t want his type in our party any more. Go Bill Kristol... go be with the liberal elites - it’s where you belong.
Yeah, Huckabee is principled, like Christie.
It’s like every other marxist insurgency. Burrow deep inside and bring others in like yourself. Destroy from within.
Kristol & his partner Barnes have long been propagandists for ultra liberal immigration policies.
Trump is a natural Conservative. Ideologically he is a "work in progress," going through the wake up process that all of us went through at some time in our lives.
Who ties his shoes in the morning? Does he think this Banana Republic maneuver will NOT tear the party apart?
Vote for Trump and support Trump to beat the traitor Clinton.
Then support President Trump as he flushes the bsers from DC and rips America away from their grasp.
Then make this smirking possum unemployed and a sorry footnote in history.
