Kristol: Independent presidential bid 'still doable' for Romney, Sasse
The Hill ^ | July 17, 2016 | Jessie Hellmann

Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol made yet another plea Sunday for Mitt Romney or Sen. Ben Sasse to launch a third-party bid to challenge presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

"Look what's happening to our country. Look at the two party nominees. An independent candidacy is still doable. Please. @MittRomney @BenSasse," Kristole tweeted on Sunday.

Kristol has spearheaded the charge for an independent candidate to enter the race and has worked with conservatives seeking to deny Trump the nomination at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next week.

Kristol earlier this month encouraged Republican delegates to protest on the floor of the convention.

Trump has ripped Kristol over his efforts, calling him a "loser" and a "dummy."

"Bill Kristol has been wrong for 2yrs-an embarrassed loser, but if the GOP can't control their own, then they are not a party. Be tough, R's!" Trump tweeted in May.

"If dummy Bill Kristol actually does get a spoiler to run as an Independent, say good bye to the Supreme Court!"

Correction Judas Kristol needs to get lost & stay lost. He is doing this for one reason he fears more than anything the loss of his paying job ,or more bluntly he is doing it for his 30 pieces of silver.

The question for me is WHY is Kristol so Desperate for a third party candidate? There is definitely something going on here.

I agree ... it's got me shaking my head.

If there were laws against looking stupid, Kristol would get a life sentence for this one.

What's with the inappropriate smirk all the time anyway?

I have gone from feeling angry at Kristol, to simply feeling very VERY sorry for him.

He's seriously mentally ill.
