WASHINGTON – Neoconservative pundit Bill Kristol says he is being flooded with unsolicited support from anonymous people encouraging him to keep trying to get an independent candidate to run against Donald Trump in the general election.
Weekly Standard editor Kristol is known as a Republican power broker, but since Trump’s populist primary victory Kristol has been pushing a third party that he calls “The Latter Day Republicans,” speculating that Mitt Romney, Marco Rubio, Tom Cotton, or Tom Coburn could be part of an anti-Trump ticket.
Kristol’s effort has apparently struck a chord with random strangers that Bill Kristol says he interacts with in his travels. One of Kristol’s most recent encounters took place at a “pizza place” in Penn Station in New York City, according to his garrulous Twitter account:

Kristol’s third-party campaign doesn’t seem to be going very well. Retired Marine Corps general James Mattis turned down Kristol’s offer to help him run as an independent. Kristol has also complained about Texas’ early registration deadline for third-party candidates, which Kristol has vowed to legally challenge.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) told Breitbart News weeks ago that Kristol’s third-party bid is not supported by the party, and is only “helping to elect Hillary Clinton.”

One thing is for sure, a whole lot of people that always thought Bill Kristol was “on our side” DON’T ANYMORE!
I’m one!
Bill Kristol wants to stop Trump instead of working to make him a better President.
How in the world is that a conservative position? I always thought conservatives should do no harm.
Electing Hillary Clinton President would do our country real harm.
For that reason alone and a lot of others, I can’t support the #NeverTrumpers.
Isn’t that precious! This little sh!t still thinks he’s relevant to what’s going on right now. How cute! Awwwww....

The kind of people who 1) want to stop Trump and 2) would consider going to Bill Kristol as a way of doing it, do not “cheer”.
LOL, astroturfing
Kristol and Beck were joined at the hip... delusional...
So what, the MAJORITY of Republican voters support Trump.
Who cares about a few DC insiders that will be out of a job when Trump gets elected.
Neocons began on the Left. They are just returning to their roots. The sooner they get back there the better for all concerned.
Bill Kristol is hearing those voices in his head again.....
Anonymous is another word for “invisible”.
Where are all these “anonymous” people living, anyway? Anywhere in this universe?
Maybe they are in some parallel dimension, one of those alternative worlds.
Yeah, and according to Ted Cruz the population is going to rise up and he’s going to start winning any moment now.
His meds need to be checked
Kristol is a “Has Been” who is trying to stay relevant. He should just sign on to Hillary’s campaign and go down with her ship.
(((anonymous people)))
‘Rats crawling out of the woodwork.
Anonymous People = Hillary Supporters
