Bill Kristol Claiming He Has An Independent Candidate
Twitter ^ | May 29, 2016 | Pinkbell

Posted on 05/29/2016 2:56:32 PM PDT by Pinkbell

Per Twitter

"Just a heads up over this holiday weekend: There will be an independent candidate--an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance."

-Bill Kristol

Who is it, Mittens?

This absolutely disgusts me. This fool is going to cost us the election because he and some bitter Cruz supporters didn't get their way. He knows it will split the vote and we won't win. A few things:

1)He wants to cause enough of a vote split where no candidate has the 270. Ok. Let's say he does that. He will literally be usurping the will of all the people who voted for Trump in the primaries and general (which will be way more than his guy).

2)That assumes his candidate will even win one state. I would venture to guess his candidate won't win a single state but will divide the votes enough to help Hillary.

3)Maybe he wants Hillary. I had a Cruz supporter tell me on Twitter he'd rather 4 years of Hillary (he says it will only be 4 years) and 2 Supreme Court picks from her (he insists it will only be 2) so he can get a conservative like Cruz in 4 years.

Somewhere Hillary is cackling at the stupid party and "principled" conservatives who are willing to torpedo Trump to get all or nothing.

Let's hope either Bill is bluffing or this fails. Even Trump the other day seemed to concede it would give Hillary the election.

It takes a special kind of elitist attitude to usurp the voters of your own party and tell them you know better.

You are right, of course, Miss M. But I’d like to see weekly standards mailroom inundated and messy.

Ken Cuccinelli? The only way a third-party conservative would run if it’s been ascertained that Bernie is going third-party. He is, as you know, and Independent who caucuses with the Rats.

In this case, the top-two that get thrown to the house to decide are Cankles and the conservative third-party guy.

I certainly agree with that, Big Ed! I’d like to see Renegade Bill cry like a little girl.

>>Trump has the Reagan coalition locked up.

That’s what terrifies the UniParty Progs most. The thought of all the people who don’t benefit from government handouts coming together against the recipients of individual welfare and corporate welfare is their version of Armageddon. The system only works when they can split us into the two camps.

Yessir and us Buchanan fans have a loooonnggg memory.

I can recall early in the Trump campaign saying how long before he gets “jew’d” meaning they have to paint him as some kind of racist or anti-Semite.

However this election cycle being painted a “Globalist” or a “Cuck” is far more damaging than being painted a racist or Xenophobe. The terms have simply become meaningless. I see young people on twitter, just mocking the left by referring to themselves as being “Fashy” i.e. Fascist. The label is losing it’s meaning.

Trotsky was the first given credit for using “racist” as a way of shaming your opponent. I don’t mean racism never existed, I’m talking about as a political tactic. And Irving Kristol spoke highly of Trotsky.

Didn’t he say once that he’d prefer Hillary?

And there are still people who think that “voting” matters.

Kind of like John Podhoretz, the son of Norman Podhoretz.

Apparently privileged, “son-of” beneficiaries of neocon nepotism are the worst of the worst—and the most bent out of shape over Trump.

Well NeoCons are 1-5 in the popular vote.

Thank goodness Dubya was a wartime president running against the pompous Thurston Howell III or we might be 0-6 in the popular vote since the NeoCons seized the party control.

1-5 at a time when we often controlled the house, senate, more governorships, and more state houses than the Dems. The NeoCons managed to nominate wishy-washy, crap candidates. Now they are pissed because they lost control of the party.

Hey Bill Kristol. WE ARE THE ESTABLISHMENT.

Kristol is so insular, that he does not realize the backlash that is building against both him and his chosen one.

Yes. His daddy’s magazine was usually intelligent and worth looking at, at least. The kid has destroyed his dad’s mag. Maybe donate any copies to Goidwill? They’ll take them. After all, they took billy Clinton’s used underwear

I wouldn’t give too much thanks for that. We may have had 4 years of Kerry instead of 8 years of Obama if Bush lost in 2004.
