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.

My money is on Kevin Williamson ...

We have had bearded presidents before.

And we have had bald presidents before.

Isn't it time we finally took the plunge?

run himself? not when he can be wield the baton:

15 Sept: AmericanThinker: Thomas Lifson: Sad and pathetic: Delusional Bill Kristol prepares ‘war machine’ to challenge Trump for 2020 GOP nomination
Joe Concha of The Hill manages to report this announced effort without even using the expressing ”LOL.”

(excerpts) Kristol told the network that he’s preparing “for a primary run against Trump,” adding that Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) is on his shortlist of possible candidates.
Kristol also said Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) and outgoing Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) are also being considered...

Maybe this one will decide to actually run, unlike David French, who Kristol volunteered as the alternative to Trump in 2018. Kristol is an idiot - Trump is nominating people to the SC that Kristol should love, he's repudiated the self-destructive treaty with Iran, he's the most conservative president this nation has had in decades - but for Kristol and other butt-hurt establishment Republicans, nothing will overcome the fact that he isn't one of them.

He and his ilk just can’t get over someone they did not invite to the party and someone who they can’t control..and someone they think is under their elite lifestyle.. and that someone is in the highest seat of our government.. presiding over our country..
THey can’t stand it... it’s not normal.. It think that’s what someone said recently!! Nope, it’s not normal.. that’s why he is in that seat!!

If Trump continues as he’s doing, he’s governing much more conservatively then Reagan. Not bad for a sometime democrat, left wing northeast liberal NYC republican!

The real story is that this punk will help some washed up bum...perhaps Romney...to run Third Party once DJT is renominated.
