For those who thought it is too late for a third-party candidate to run for president, don't count out that option quite yet.
Bill Kristol has put out a hypothetical short list of third-party candidates, including Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who could run if Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee, Breitbart News reports.
One of the nation's most influential conservatives and editor of The Weekly Standard, Kristol has said that a Trump victory in Indiana this Tuesday would force him to refocus on his so-called Latter-Day Republican independent ticket.

This is just absurd. Even if there is enough time to start an independent run for President, there’s no chance that there would be sufficient support for it. Trump and Clinton wouldn’t even need to acknowledge it.
I remember it well. Didn’t exactly work out the way they planned, did it? Without John Anderson, Carter would probably have won 3-4 more New England states + New York, converting Reagan’s mere 44 state landslide into 39 states or so.
In the highly unlikely event that Bill Kristol's wet dream ever comes to fruition, we could probably help him write at least 100 more on this forum.
Knock yourself out Billy.
News Max on a death spiral.
Kristol deserves to go down the drain with it.
Bill Kristol has about as much influence as Anthony Wiener.
Bill Kristol needs to swallow his own tongue.
My question is the: If Mr. Kristol is really a “leading conservative” as posited, why doesn’t he place himself on a third party ticket? I’m sure he’d make a huge success of it, just like he has with “his” magazine. Well, maybe not.
From Wiki: “Since it was founded in 1995, The Weekly Standard has never been profitable, and has remained in business through subsidies from conservative benefactors such as former owner Rupert Murdoch.”
I expect cruz will go third party. If the big money keeps coming in.
Because he must have enjoyed the first two terms of Obama, and be looking forward to a third under Hillary Clinton.
I heard he DOES swallow. But that’s just an unconfirmed rumor!
Yeah, mini hands. LOL.
Guess this makes Kristol one of the shiniest turds in the GOPe punch bowl.
Bill Kristol is delusional & dangerous to himself & our nation, IMO.
"The will of Moses must NOT be thwarted!" ;)
Kristol and wet dream in the same sentence is enough to gag a maggot.
President-elect Barack Obama spent Tuesday evening at a dinner party with several prominent conservative columnists, including William Kristol and David Brooks of The New York Times, according to an Obama transition pool report.
Mr. Obama, who has been staying at the Hay-Adams Hotel in advance of his inauguration next week, arrived at 9 Grafton Street, an upscale address in Chevy Chase, Md., at 6:34 p.m. The Montgomery County property tax records list this address as the home of the conservative Washington Post columnist George Will, the host of the dinner party. Also attending the party was Charles Krauthammer The Washington Post.
Hardly! This is a good example of a piece that internally refutes itself. Bill Kristol is a media caricature of a "Conservative." The outcome of the almost year long Republican Primary contest demonstrates how "influential" the son of the Neocon Godfather actually is.
Nope.
