And the deadline for getting such a candidate on the ballots would be when?

If the process is not well underway this is just bloviation.

After having been burned by Jeb blowing through $140 million, mega-rich donors would have to be insane to back someone who can’t win.

That’s like burning their own money. A third party candidate has zero chance to win.

No matter Kristol claims otherwise. His fantasy candidate is going nowhere.

William Kristol has always been a self-serving opportunist.

Now he’s willing to risk handing the Presidency over the Hillary Clinton.

That ought to move him from opportunist all the way to traitor.

He just makes crazy noises trying to attract attention to sell his magazine. The mag his father built ( and which was worth reading regardless of whether you always agreed or not) - the mag that’s now just a waste of a good tree each month

The only way this works I think is if Hillary is forced out for some reason then there will be a flurry of court challenges for third party candidates to get on the ballot.
Although most likely Sanders is the only one that has a chance of doing real damage.

I agree. Romney has attempted about 5 trial ballons this election cycle, and they dropped like lead balloons.

The logistics are just not there to throw together an effective 3rd party this late.

” His dad was a somebody conservative, named Irving Kristol.”

His dad Irving was the godfather of neo-conservatism. He wrote extensively about it.

Everyone ought to shred their copies of, “Weekly Standard” and mail it to Kristol.

Absolutely true. Trump IS the Independent candidate. Both he and Sanders, from very different areas on the political spectrum, and with very large natural constituencies, have reached over and pulled the veil of pretense off the one true Establishment candidate, the NeoLib NeoCon, the ultimate political whore, Hillary Clinton. This is really unprecedented, in my lifetime at least, and it constitutes the most interesting ongoing configuration of our politics I’ve seen yet.

“One of the first to warn years ago of Kristol’s treachery was Patrick J. Buchanan.”

and that’s one reason the neocons worked hard to hang the anti-Semitism label on Buchanan.

Go ahead, Bill.

Just know that I’ll never vote GOP again if you do.

The problem with that is nobody here reads it. We gave it up a long time ago.

The republican elite is over. They don’t know it, of course, but I hear it whenever I tune into Chris Wallace’s show or Bret Baier’s.
