How could someone named “French” run for president of the US and hope to get anywhere?


Normally, I’d agree. But then, there’s Barack Hussein Obama, who got elected, then re-elected.

Won’t happen.

Bill Kristol and rest of #NeverTrumpers don’t have deep pockets.

Neither does David French. And they lack the infrastructure of an established party.

This is a joke.

This guy French they are pushing is weird. Insisted his wife not email or “Facebook” any men, no matter who, while he was overseas. His wife felt the need to write a sobby piece for the Washington Post about how a few people insulted her on twitter when they adopted an Ethiopian.
The husband wrote a piece in neocon Commentary magazine about the Trayvon Martin case, using the opportunity to criticize conservatives.

Oh, and he promised several times to support Trump if he was nominated.
Then suddenly he became a “Never Trumper” trying to put Hillary Clinton into the presidency.

David French is a crappy Harvard lawyer. His so called duty in Iraq was being a JAG....oh goody another Lindsey Graham.... I want him to tell soldiers who bled there just what a great war hero he is.

WHEN did we start calling lawyers who are there to charge soldiers for violations of ROE war heroes????

I guess these “conservatives” are on a quest to find someone more obscure than Kristol’s choice. Maybe they can get the night manager at Taco Bell to throw his paper hat in the ring.

This is actually hilarious.

It’s fun watching a gaggle of arrogant narcissists beclowning themselves.

He argued that conservative activists would be smarter to pressure the Republican Party to give the nomination to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R), who finished in second place behind Trump, at the convention in Cleveland.

Yea, that's the ticket. Give it to a guy that basically got 1/3 of the delegates as the winner. That way everyone will fall in line, LOL. These people have real mental disorders.

Liz Pfair? She's a conservative? Since when? Same thing for Erick Erickson. This simpleton was calling for a tax increase on his Atlanta radio show a couple of years ago.

Once again we are seeing the tragedy of someone who doesn't realize how irrelevant they are.

Any of these losers should have announced their candidacy back before the primaries started. Today is TOO LATE.

Get this, Erickson and Kristol—the voters have already voted and they chose Trump. We even got a couple of states that will vote soon, and I’ll take any bets on your guy versus Trump winning.

Get over it or go away.

The funny thing is that Neoconservatives dominated the party apparatus from George Bush Senior up until this very election.

The sad thing is that I was talking to a co-worker of mine who seems to display the exact schizophrenia that has plagued the Republican party for decades. One day he says “We don’t need to be nation-building or policing the world” then the next day he’s all pissed-off at a terrorist bombing somewhere and says “We need to go over there and just conquer ISIS.”

He never seems to realize that his latter suggestion is completely antithetical to his former statement and would simply create a power vacuum to be filled with someone else. The only alternative IS an attempt at nation building OR....stay the hell out.

Here was David French last February, after NR published their famous anti-Trump issue:

What a bunch of idiots. I hope this election season is the last we see of and hear from Bill Kristol.

We get more mileage around here out of The Princess Bride than any other movie. Little did I suspect it was a stealth political tale when I first saw it. André the Giant rules.

Did Krystol see this? Sheesh!

French came across as pretty reasonable.

When did he turn?

As soon as he was anointed Majority Leader.

Why worry. Kristol’s candidate might get, what, .05% of the vote? Maybe.
