Bill Kristol seeking GOP candidate to take on Trump in 2020

A leader of the "Never Trump" movement has no plans to let President Trump run for re-election without first facing a primary opponent.

Bill Kristol told CNBC in an interview published Friday that his nonprofit Defending Democracy Together is seeking a Republican to challenge Trump in 2020.

"People aren't going to say they will run against Trump unless they have the infrastructure, but I've been trying to persuade people that it may not be that difficult,” he said.

Is McCain available?

No... not that McCain.

The one on the view. I’m sure she’ll take Kristol up on his offer. Is she old enough? Even if not old enough, she should run; after all, the constitution and amendments don’t matter anymore. At least she can produce a real birth certificate, I think.

They want to forfeit the election I see.

Good luck with that. The gang of 17 couldn’t do it.

Well Billy, there is always your Queen Hillary isn’t there.

More useless people in Washington then ever.

She’ll turn 35 on 10/23/19. Even if she does run, she probably would not fare as well as her late dad did in 2008.

(Kinda ominous that she was born in 1984 of all years.)

Once a Trotskyite always a Trotskyite. I hope this finally convinces Republicans that NeoCons were never conservatives just “cons”.

He’ll find an open borders tool and that person simply will not with. Republican primary when Trump is on the ballot. He’ll have to go third party and that’s likely to swing the election to Trump anyways.

One of Hugh Spewitt’s favorites, along with Jennifer Rubin. No wonder Hugh lost his afternoon prime time slot to Mark Levin. Hugh, I don’t miss you, and who hears you in the middle of the night?

So Kristol will look for a GOP candidate who advocates for open borders, amnesty for tens of millions of illegal aliens, and unbalanced trade deals that benefit our enemy (China) and screw the American middle class. Let us know how it turns out, Bill.

I really cannot understand why Kristol is opposed to Trump. I’ve ignored him since he went full anti Trump, but has he articulated his reasons and why? In my mind, everything Trump has done since being elected has supported the principles Kristol shared prior to his election , so I don’t understand.
