French Surrender: Kristol’s Pick David French: I Am NOT Running For President
Breitbart ^ | 5 Jun 2016 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 06/06/2016 5:13:45 AM PDT by detective

Bill Kristol’s reported third-party candidate, David French, is retreating from the presidential race. Kristol ally, attorney and political opinion writer French announced in a National Review post Sunday night that he will not seek the highest office in the land:

Here is a sentence I never thought I’d type: After days of prayer, reflection, and serious study of the possibilities, I am not going to run as an independent candidate for president of the United States.

I gave it serious thought — as a pretty darn obscure lawyer, writer, and veteran — only because we live in historic times. Never before have both parties failed so spectacularly, producing two dishonest, deceitful candidates who should be disqualified from running for town council, much less leader of the free world.

Kristol fails again. His latest plan to get Hillary Clinton elected fell apart when his latest candidate refused to run.

So far Kristol and the Hillary Clinton surrogates are batting 0. None of the candidates they have tried to recruit have agreed to run.

Kristol and his other Never Trump types will have to just continue bragging about how they are "principled conservatives."

I have noticed that Kristol, George Will and the rest of the people who dishonestly attack Trump have made no effort whatsoever to investigate any of the Clinton wrongdoing.

So a man who never announced a presidential run feels the need to publicly suspend his effort.

It's so Bill Kristol....

Dishonest and deceitful...sure.

Maybe it’s Mr. French who’s being dishonest and deceitful to himself and the American people.

One of the best things so far abut Trumps campaign is all these fake ‘conservatives’ and their ilk like McCain, Romney, Bush and his spawns, Rove and Kristol etc., have all been doubling down to serve their NWO cabal and forever outing themselves in the process, its like they cant help themselves, same as when they fell on their sword to elect Obama,

French may have surrendered but, according to Kristol’s Twitter feed, Kristol hasn’t. Although this morning he mentioned needing a drink.

This is off topic but I’m bothered by the persistence of the myth that the French soldiers were cowards in 1940. The reality was that the French fought very bravely, even heroically. For example, tenacious French resistance at Dunkirk allowed the bulk of the BEF to be evacuated there. The reason the French army collapsed so quickly was due to a combination of truly terrible senior leadership, both military and political, and a battle plan calculated to re-fight World War I. It wasn’t the fault of the front-line French soldiers.

The French were defeated in WWII by the superior tactics, organization and leadership of the Germans.

In addition, Germany and the Soviet Union were allies at the time of the German invasion of France in 1940. The French Communist Party worked to sabotage the French military.
