Neither Clinton Nor Trump [#NeverTrump]
Weekly Standard ^ | May 16, 2016 | William Kristol

Posted on 05/06/2016 11:51:45 AM PDT by C19fan

I have always voted for the Republican presidential candidate. From Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford to Ronald Reagan (twice) and George H. W. Bush (twice) and Bob Dole, from George W. Bush (twice) to John McCain and Mitt Romney—I've checked the box next to those eight names on all 11 occasions I've had the chance. About half the time, I've voted for someone else in the primary. But even in those cases I never hesitated before supporting the Republican nominee in the general election.

“How about a new political party for ... Tinker Bell”

Hey, I didn’t think this was a thread about Lindsey Graham!

Kristol is in the rigid fringe minority now and he does not like it!

He’s on the brink I tell ya! He’s almost relevant!
OOps, now, ehrr, wait.

That ship has left the harbor.

SNORT!

more recently, he whined that Trump had to be defeated, that he'd "virtually" always voted Republican (IOW, he hasn't), and that he couldn't vote for HIllary. He was full of it on all three. more from the FRchives:

I have twice met this man; once in Iraq and again in Afghanistan. I was busy training the Iraqi 1st and 7th Divisions and later the 215th Corps of the Afghan Army. Mr Kristol was, on both occasions, part of a contingent of visiting “Smart Guys” who were interested in what we were doing.

I’ve never met a man more smug and aloof. He displayed an air of supreme confidence; yet he was wholly incompetent regarding the training of indigenous forces. He is one of those guys who wants to only speak or hear what the General has to say; even after the CG identified that my team was the guys who had the experience in training of indigenous forces.

This man is a bore and has lived a fabulous life off the accomplishments of his Father and Mother. He strikes you as a little “Lord Fauntleroy” His wit and intelligence is far overrated!

His actions will mean nothing! America has all of him and his ilk we can stomach.

“Nobody cares what you think, Kristol. You’re just part of the problem that needs flushing.”

So true. He is a big part of the problem.

Must be interesting for the Mark Levin “Principled Conservative” Wing to look at its allies and see George Will, Mitt Romney, Linsey Graham, Jeb Bush, Rich Lowry, and Bill Kristol.

I’ve thought for a number of years that Kristol is a turncoat & it looks like it more & more. It would appear that he wants to continue the policy of the GOP being in the tank for the libtards like they have in the recent past.
The Standard may be the standard bearer of the left.

Dear #Never Trump,

Trump or Clinton will be President. You do realize you losers are painting yourselves into a lose-lose corner here?

IF Trump wins you demonstrated yourself politically impotent, utterly childish and totally irrelevant. Your moronic political temper-tantrum here will follow you around forever. Your career in politics will be over.

If Trump loses, everyone in your audience is going to point at the #Never Trump clown posse as the cause. Your will be politically pariahs. Your career in politics and media will be over.

IT is over, you lost. Sit down shut up or be destroyed by your own petulant, arrogant, stupidity.

This “3rd party” is know as the “Petulance Party”. The Democrats have the Donkey, the Republicans have the Elephant, their symbol will be a Crying Baby.

“I’m not giving them the click required to find out more.”

Same. And I don’t care what a neo-con does with his one vote.

I believe all these rhino and neocon assclowns will come around by election time.

“Neocon A-hole.”

You know what? I'm a neo-con, but, unlike Kristol, I'm not an “A-hole”. Bill Kristol and the rest have got to grow up. It's time to back Trump, try to influence him to the degree we can, and let the chips fall where they may. I'd much rather have President Trump than President Hillary Clinton.

Hmmm, not Clinton or Trump.
Then it must be the Neocon/Globalist dreamboy Jeb!
Yeah, that has got to be it.
Wow, those guys like Kristol are so smart.

Kristol, Krauthammer and a host of others need to go back to the democrat party from whence they came. They only invaded the republican party like a virus back in the 1980’s, and that is why we are in such a mess.

Kristol should get behind Libertarian John McAfee. That’s the ticket! http://www.bealibertarian.com/

Makes one wonder where Kristol’s allegiances really lie.

Kristol hates the very idea of actually putting America and Americans first. That is and always has been anathema to his goals. Likewise, the republican party is simply a vessel to Mr. Kristol.
