Neoconservative political operative Bill Kristol announced Sunday that an independent candidate will enter the presidential race to challenge both Donald Trump and the Democratic Party nominee.
Kristol, the editor of The Weekly Standard, has been trying for months to find a third-party challenger since his preferred candidates lost in the Republican primaries to Trump. Now, just weeks after meeting with Mitt Romney to talk about a third-party run, Kristol hinted Sunday that his plot is coming to fruition.

YES!!
Pour your money into a third-party candidate, not just a little, but enough to show that you really mean it!
Enough so that if it doesn’t work out you’ll be flat broke.
C’mon globalists, pour that money in!
Anybody else see some irony here???
Early on, there was this push to get everyone to pledge to support the Republican nominee. Reason being, that we didn’t want to see an independent candidate split the vote and hand the presidency to the Democrats.
Irony being, since their preferred nominee didn’t get the GOP nomination, now these political hacks want to mount a 3rd party bid, in order to deny Trump the presidency.
Early on, they feared that Trump could run as a 3rd party candidate if he didn’t get the GOP nomination, and wanted to keep that from happening.
But now that Trump will be the GOP nominee, now they want a 3rd party candidate.
Go figure. These political blankety blanks would rather see Hillary be president, than the nominee of the Republican party. They can go blank themselves.
Evidently Bill did not take the pledge to support the Republican candidate?
“He’s looking for Ross Perot 2.0”
Actually, I think the model is Marshall Coleman, who was used by the GOPe to derail another “unacceptable” Republican

Trump Tweet today on Kristol:
If dummy Bill Kristol actually does get a spoiler to run as an Independent, say good bye to the Supreme Court!
Bill Kristol announces Russian businessman Kirill Shamalov, Vladamir Putin’s son-in-law will run as an Independant for US Presidency.
The media are running their own candidates!
Their is precedence for this from the late 1800s.
But not by such a small, insignificant publication.
Billy Crystal has more cred than this wretch.

To what lengths will these creeps go?
And how much support will this 3rd party candidate get?
How many states will their 3rd party candidate carry?
Heck, will their candidate even be on the ballot in all 50 states? That’s questionable right off the bat.
But no matter. To them, it’s better to see Hillary become president, and suffer through four to eight years of more liberal Alinskyite policies, than elect a Republican president, even though their preferred candidate didn’t get the GOP nomination. What kind of Republicans are they, if they won’t support their party nominee????
the party won’t allow it. they won’t let him hand hillary the white house.
It’s all about blocking the citizens from electing a President who will enforce the laws and borders.
Since they couldn’t prevent Trump from being nominated, they now have to try to throw the election to Hillary.
Bill Kristol wouldn't recognize principle or strategy if they bit him on the nose.
IIRC a Libertarian candidate running for (???) Virginia governor was funded by Dems and took votes away from the R, so McAwful won. If I’m wrong someone can correct me, but I remember a LP candidate got $$ from Dems.
Kristol’s supposed Independent would likely suck votes from Dems, not from Trump. Anyone Kristol would like, would not appeal to Trump supporters.
Shows he is not a conservative at all.
America First makes him crap himself.
What a sore loser. To think we used to be on the same side as this guy. He knows that no independent candidate can beat Trump or even Clinton for that matter. The only thing it could do is elect Hillary and that is the only thing. Kristol and Romney are pure evil on the same level as Hillary.
The Corruptocrats must win at all costs. At this point they must be looking for a Hillary replacement lol.
One of the problems with an independent run is that those who aren’t happy with Trump as the nominee fall into two camps: 1. the establishment types who see Trump as not controllable, and 2. the conservatives who see Trump as not conservative enough.
There won’t be an independent candidate who satisfies both groups.
If Kristol is thinking about Romney, he needs to remember that many of us refused to vote for the Father of Romneycare and the Father of Homosexual Marriage in America in 2012. Even if we’re not pleased with Trump, we sure aren’t voting for Romney. Those who stayed home in 2012 should be a lesson to those wanting to foist Romney on us again.
Anyone (((Bill Kristol))) likes would probably take more votes from Hillary than Trump. I hope it isn’t Cruz.
This just shows how crazy things are within the oligarchy.
Where was this independent in ‘04? ‘08? ‘12?
Oh, I see. Only now are we worried.
