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

Posted on 07/17/2016 11:59:43 AM PDT by jazusamo

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!"

The only good thing Joe Stalin ever did was putting an ice pick into Trotsky’s brain.

Considering that he made his magazine-a large source of his income-look like a joke with his anti-Trump tantrums, cratering the readership-he is such an egotistical and sanctimonious prick that he probably does think of it as important as life and death-of his relevance and his magazine, at any rate...

Did someone hit you with a stupid-stick?

It’s over!

It!

Is!

Over!

What part of that do you not understand?

Even the sour-grapes whine coalition would not mount enough minority report votes to get their two rules passed.

It's time for the nGOP to move on. Now if Billy and the GOPe want to launch a third candidate, the Krystal and Bush ticket should give it a go. Abroad the Krystal/Bush Express to over the cliff.

Hillary is the best option if you want to support the status quo ... which is Kristol’s middle name.

He’s working hard to destroy any last shred of credibility ... or aiming for a MSLSD gig.

This is an exceptionally bad idea, but I wonder whether Romney would take more votes from Trump or from Hillary.

I know a few never Trump repubs... they don’t like Romney. They are still pining away for Cruz. So unless Cruz runs third party... this is going no where.
