Bill Kristol, son of Irving, names Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Mitt Romney, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and others on his hypothetical shortlist of third-party candidates that he could run if Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee. The Weekly Standard editor and self-styled neoconservative power broker is back to talking about a third party, declaring that a Trump victory in Indiana would force him to re-focus on his so-called Latter-Day Republicans independent ticket. A third party could help to split the vote on the Right and elect Hillary Clinton president, which would allow Kristol to stave off the Trump threat and regain control of the party in 2020 without actually having to formally support Clinton.

In 1980, the Republican establishment ran moderate Republican John Anderson as a third party candidate against Reagan.
In 2016, the Republican establishment will run a third party candidate against Donald Trump.

Kristol is a pimp. He never could have outfought Donald.
But I never knew, until this day, that it was Romney all along.

With the election of Hillary, the complete takeover of the U.S. government by international bankers and corporate interests (the 1%) will be complete! Proof that in truth liberals despise the middle class.

Kristol has run off the rails, jumped the shark, gone loco, etc....

Yeah, Cotton actually cares about the country, and would undoubtedly tell Kristol to go pound sand if approached to run in his kindergarten party.

Here is an idea for Bill Kristol: why not run sixteen third party candidates, just like in the primaries?

Anybody think Kristol is just a journalist? He is a NWO cabal spokesman. He is an enemy of this country
To: detective
These people are insane.
If they want a neocon, just vote for Hillary.

That is exactly what the GOPe is going to do.

OK, that was funny! (I corrected “outfought”; it was “outfoxed”. Figured a fellow Godfather fanatic wouldn't mind.)
