Kristol to Scarborough: You’ll run in 2016 to ‘fill the Jon Huntsman lane’ [VIDEO]

Bill Kristol played the role of mischief maker on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Thursday.

Prompted by host Joe Scarborough, Kristol tallied off the nine Republicans he thinks will be finalists for the 2016 Republican nomination — and one of the nine was Scarborough himself.

“Why would you put Joe on that list?” show co-host Mika Brzezinski asked.

“He’s a former elected official. He’s got a real following out there. He’ll fill the Jon Huntsman lane,” Kristol said with a wry smile, eliciting cackles from Scarborough.

After his failed 2016 presidential run, Huntsman has become a punchline for many conservatives.

“OK, I’ll never be on the show again,” Kristol predicted.

Oh he definitely will fill the ‘Jon Huntsman lane’ if he runs. He will play just as large a role that Jon Huntsman turned out to have on the overall election, and end up with the same electoral results.

BTW, is Kristol still a Fox News contributing commentator?

I can't remember the last time I've seen him.

Did George Will knock him out of a job...lol.
