Neither Clinton Nor Trump [#NeverTrump]
Weekly Standard ^ | May 16, 2016 | William Kristol

Posted on 05/06/2016 11:51:45 AM PDT by C19fan

I have always voted for the Republican presidential candidate. From Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford to Ronald Reagan (twice) and George H. W. Bush (twice) and Bob Dole, from George W. Bush (twice) to John McCain and Mitt Romney—I've checked the box next to those eight names on all 11 occasions I've had the chance. About half the time, I've voted for someone else in the primary. But even in those cases I never hesitated before supporting the Republican nominee in the general election.

Where is Kristol going to get the multi BILLIONS $$$ to go third party?

Who is paying for this and who does he suggest should run?

I read the article and suggest to Billy Kristol that he brush off his tuxedo and sit wait at his landline for the Oscar committee to call and see if he is free to be the host.

He’s irrelevant and ignorant of the seismic change that has just occured to the “elites”.

Game over.

It sounds like Kristol is campaigning for irrelevancy...

Bill would never sacrifice his blood for America.

He will sacrifice our blood for money for himself and the rest of his neo buddies.

They always go in for the oil deals after they are done watching us bury our dead for their gain.

Then once the locals turn on them, they send more of us to regain what they lost.

Human scum they are.

I wonder when it will finally happen? That precious moment when these Elites wake up and finally realize that no one cares what they think.

Then after that moment, comes the next one when they realize what people truly think of them.

Oh relish is so under-rated.

The fake Pubbies like Kristol and pack of rats at RedState, along with the Cuckservatives at NR, never intended to vote for the nominee anyway, regardless of what they say. Just recently, Kristol self-described as a liberal in a broadcast conversation with Snuffleupagus. And there's this:
Bill Kristol Names Romney, Rubio, Tom Cotton As Third-Party Prospects If Trump Wins Nomination
[he meant "unsurprising"]

"How exciting would it be to inaugurate an attractive candidate who's neither Clinton nor Trump on January 20, 2017?"

It would likewise be exciting for both Mr. Kristol and I to wake up January 20th will full heads of hair.

But it's not going to happen.

Billy Kristof is a RINO ass. A sophomoric, erudite ass. You know you can judge a person by his enemies: Hillary, Linda Graham, Kristol, the Bush Klan, Obama, Romney, etc. ALL THOSE INDIVIDUALS who have helped destroy America or refused to do anything to stop it’s demise. I hope enough Americans are smart enough to pull that lever for Trump.

Set up your own Bolshevik party Kristol, or Menshevik. Why should always other ones run a third party, or fight your neocon wars, why do you run a campaign as a third party candidate? Don’t hide behind other people Billy, run a campaign head on against Trump

Kristol is selfish and will vote for whatever goon will protect his personal fortunes. Kristol and the pundit class are no more Americans or patriots than any average ISIS bloodluster. Kristol is simply another smiling jerkoff who propagandizes for his own benefit those policies and personalities that help himself and his fellow travelers.

Kristol living in fantasy land. His push for a 3rd party candidate would guarantee a Clinton victory.

Nah, he knows what he's doing. Many of us here have used the phrase "the fix is in" for years. Never was it more true than now. In their desperation to hold on to their party, they'll willingly, nay enthusiastically lose to the witch. Kristol is laughing at those of us who say he's living in a fantasy. The people living in a fantasy are those who believe the GOP is interested in anything other than hanging onto their power and the status quo.

100% agree. I don’t go to that website. I refuse to help generate ad revenue for the Weekly Standard nor National Review.

They make money by selling ads....regardless of if you agree with the premise of their articles or not.

Kristol, the neo-con cabal and the GOPe power structure have no issues with tossing our men and women into whatever meatgrinder is available. They gleefully send them into the battlefield with irrational “rule of engagement”, not concerned in the least who lives and who dies. They see the warriors as toys upon a shelf, only to be brought down to be pawns in their wargames for personal and geopolitical profit.

But policy is not the issue. Character is. It is clear that Donald Trump does not have the character to be president of the United States.

After eight years of "policies" that assaulted capitalism in this country to near-death status, an unprecedented transfer of power to the executive branch, the division of the races to tinder-box levels, the ditching of long term allies, the embrace of formerly declared enemies---all from POLICIES.

Policies run secondary to character?

Ok fine.

Donald Trump doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, has a fine family surrounding him. He's a successful businessman, which means his word is good, his checks are good, who are you to read his mind and talk about his character, Mr. Kristol? And Donald Trump would have to be on parole to even be considered to have a character deficit vis-a-vis Hillary Clinton.

If character is so important, why can't you show character and admit that what you are advocating disenfranchises millions who voted for Donald Trump. You are telling them to go jump in a lake. You lost, yet you whine. Isn't this the very definition of a lacking moral base? You are declaring your intellect to be superior to that of millions of voters. If you know something that we don't about Donald Trump why don't you just say it?
