Bill Kristol’s third-party pick David French said before the Iowa caucus that he would vote for Donald Trump if Trump becomes the Republican nominee. “What do I do? I vote for Donald Trump,” National Review writer French said in an interview on the web show HuffPost Live before the Iowa caucus when asked what he would do if Trump wins the nomination. At the time, National Review was in the headlines for its “Against Trump” issue.

Will French even do it is the question? He’ll get some die hard #NeverTrump loons from Twitter, but who else? There is no way he can win. I doubt he can win a single state.
definitely; I wonder if he and Kristol ever played with this http://www.270towin.com/maps/three-way-electoral-map for David French, indistinguished National Review writer to get close to 270. But this article exposes the lunacy behind Kristol.
Sad because I used to like the guy.
The goal is not to win. The goal is to take enough votes from Trump to give the election to Hillary.
It's all about protecting the Establishment.
The failure of the GOP-e not winning (on the likes of Kristol, the Bushes, Romney), and of Cruz not winning (on the likes of French and the posters at Red State), fried some of their circuitry or something akin to that. Some of them have even said the risk of a Trump presidency is greater than that of a Hillary presidency, and that Conservatism would survive better under a Hillary adminstration. It is quite sad to see people lose it that much.
Kristol is UN-HINGED!!
Caught in a flip-flop before he’s a candidate.
David French is a nobody. Even if somehow he manages to cobble together enough resources to run a bare bones campaign and get on a couple state ballots he won’t be able to pull enough votes to even be a factor.
On the bright side, he may run Kristol afoul of election laws should the Weekly Standard become a mouthpiece for that campaign.
Not if he's smart. recent stories about he and his wife having strong ties with Romney (who Kristol left out of his latest attempt to seat Hillary) and his credibility would be about zero - would be a distraction to his actual career at best and possibly ruin it unless he wished to deal only in the behalf of Leftists - would have to be able to abide a lot of slime.
D’oh
If Kristol had any intellectual honesty, he would register his activity as a pro-Hillary 527 political outfit. But Kristol is a dishonest spoiled brat.
Prior to this I thought he was just stupid.
So true — a professional conservative class.
I have posted in other threads that ‘conservative/conservatism’ has become a litmus word. Pols must use it to get elected. Once they get to DC, they can turn ‘moderate’.
The variant ‘conservative’ groups have watered down the intent and meaning. Romney was ‘severely’. GWBush was ‘compassionate’. JBush was ‘reform’.
Each defined/defines his own brand and labels it ‘conservative’ to win the election.
Don’t be shocked if Kristol morphs into the next David Brock.
Oops!
The French Mistake.
YES!!! I caught on to this back when Romney was the nominee in 2012. Turned off the whole con artists net work, milking a fake 'conservative' ideology. Laziest bunch of people on God's green earth.
And there are still some who will claim that Rush talking, has done more for 'conservatism' than any other living being.
