Bill Kristol Announces, ‘There Will Be An Independent Candidate’
Breitbart ^ | 29 May 2016 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 05/29/2016 7:16:43 PM PDT by detective

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.

Kristol’s plan isn’t a Ross Perot type 3rd party plan.
His idea is to run this candidate in only a few states, work only those states hard, and get just enough delegates to keep Trump and Clinton from getting enough electoral votes to win.

Election would then go to House.... Paul Ryan and congress would then pick me he President.

And there is no one to actually spit in this creep’s face? Because that is the minimum he deserves.

“Neoconservative” one of the popular code words for Jewish.

That has the same chance of working as the Cruz/Kasich collaboration in Indiana.

perfect analogy. They spent $500 to take down Trump. Nobody is pouring anymore money away. Its Clinton vs Trump, whether Kristol likes it or not.

We’re not supposed to curse on here, but that’s some great plan he has, to cavalierly screw with this country and the Constitution and throw the presidency to someone not chosen by the people in the general election.

Of course the real plan may be to elect Hillary which is marginally not as bad?

This guy has a screw loose and needs to be tarred and feathered.

For Kristol to wander this deep into the woods, his publication must be in high do do, holding on by a shoelace in order to continue business as usual. Donald Trump has mentioned the fact that it will no longer be a business sooner rather than later.

Billy boy will be searching (just like many others) to find a job paying an income on which he might be able to live and survive. Are out of work editors a dime a dozen at the moment, or are they earning the salaries of elites?

>>Cannot do what is right for this country if their lives depended on it.

They COULD do what is right if they wanted to, of course.
But they do NOT want to, because they don’t love America.

They are ONE WORLD GLOBALISTS. Their actions prove it.

By running a 3rd party candidate, they believe they will cause DJT to lose, and more importantly for them, for HRC to win, thereby ensuring their ONE WORLD, no countries, no borders, no culture, no morals goal is advanced.

Plot is correct and should be followed by a trail and conviction for T R E A S O N. Media Jackass!

Pretty sure that it will not be Cruz. Most states have sore loser laws that would preclude him from getting on the ballot. Although, he would likely endorse anyone the nevertrumpers float.

Still think it’s Romney. I’m of the belief that Romney is the reason Ryan is playing games with the Trump endorsement.

The oligarchy will not be denied and won’t stop until they’ve stripped away all of our rights. WTP might have to take care of things ourselves before it’s too late.

” Reps. Jim Jordan and Jason Chaffitz introducing a bill to impeach IRS Chief John Koskinen along with a statement the Lois Lerner’s future prosecution is well within the statute of limitations and would be pursued unless Hillary Clinton is elected and gets to structure her own partisan Justice Department.”

FOR THIS ALONE, anyone with even the smallest amount of sense should vote for the winning R candidate.

‘Russian businessman Kirill Shamalov, Vladamir Putin’s son-in-law will run as an Independant for US Presidency.’

Damn I thought he was on Trumps’s short list for VP....

Kristol is also an attention whore who needs to be the center of attention.


Exactly right. These are Chattering Class attention whores. They make more money in opposition so naturally they prefer the Butcher of Benghazi to the presumptive GOP nominee when it is not their progressive GOPer of choice like Romney.

Probably some centrist Democrat thinking they can make a run up the middle and prevent Trump or Clinton from getting enough electoral votes by taking VA, WI, RI, ME, MD, DE, DC.

That would leave it up to the House of Representatives to pick a President out of a hat. Kristol thinks because the House is a GOP majority, they will pick a business as usual neocon globalist and ignore the will of the voters.

I’m sorry, I just can’t get riled up about this until it actually happens (which it won’t). I simply don’t believe one word out of Kristol’s mouth.
