Kristol: Independent presidential bid 'still doable' for Romney, Sasse

Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol made yet another plea Sunday for Mitt Romney or Sen. Ben Sasse to launch a third-party bid to challenge presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

"Look what's happening to our country. Look at the two party nominees. An independent candidacy is still doable. Please. @MittRomney @BenSasse," Kristole tweeted on Sunday.

Kristol has spearheaded the charge for an independent candidate to enter the race and has worked with conservatives seeking to deny Trump the nomination at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next week.

Kristol earlier this month encouraged Republican delegates to protest on the floor of the convention.

Trump has ripped Kristol over his efforts, calling him a "loser" and a "dummy."

"Bill Kristol has been wrong for 2yrs-an embarrassed loser, but if the GOP can't control their own, then they are not a party. Be tough, R's!" Trump tweeted in May.

"If dummy Bill Kristol actually does get a spoiler to run as an Independent, say good bye to the Supreme Court!"

Loser Kristol needs to get lost and stay lost.

Low Energy Kristol.

He must really hate America...

[Reno89519]

Kristol needs to join Lyn’ Ted, Beck, Levin, and others in opening supporting Clinton as that is what they are doing, directly or indirectly. All belong in a sanitarium, getting treatment for the delusions.

He should join a support group with Beck and the other deranged fake but accurate conservatives.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

It’s all about him.

The Cheap Labor Express is sure getting their money’s worth out of Billy boy....

[Robert DeLong]

Boy he has really exposed himself to be nothing more than a self-absorbed idiot.

[rockabyebaby]

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, is he doing stand up now?

Talk about someone who needs medical/psychiatric help!

Jeez, is this what happens when you realize you’re irrelevant?

[Tallguy]

Kristof really wants to elect Hillary, doesn’t he? I guess being in the opposition is good for business when all you have to offer is your opinion... whatever it may be worth...

[chris37]

What the **** ever, Bill.

America does not have to for you and your little band of useless failures.

[dainbramaged]

Yo, Billy - right after President Trump takes the oath of office, please live stream your suicide.

Kristol is among many in a tiny little bubble talking to each other constantly! Much akin to the Court of King Louis telling each other they were in control just before the French Revolution! I hear from many former colleagues in the DC area who are under the same delusions!

Independent Candidate in the Mix = Queen Hillary!

No, Thanks!

[hlmencken3]

No, it’s not, Kris. Some states have deadlines for independents that have already passed, and many more states have deadlines ticking off over the next few weeks.

[FlingWingFlyer]

ROTFL! The good old boy, D.C. insiders aren’t going down easy.

[Lower Deck]

Oh hang it up already, Kristol. It’s Trump. Deal with it. The time for an independent candidate is long since passed.
