The Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol has defiantly opposed Trump throughout the entire primary election, promising time and time again that the billionaire businessman would not become the Republican nominee, and would definitely never become president.
Well, Kristol failed the former promise, but he seems hell-bent on making the latter come true. Now that Trump has secured the requisite delegates for the GOP nod, it looks as if Kristol has moved on to plan B, a third-party candidacy. Sure, he has threatened such a ticket for months, but a tweet sent out over the Memorial Day weekend appears to confirm that the plan has been set in motion and that details will be incoming very soon.
This news comes right as former Republican governor Gary Johnson secured the Libertarian party’s nomination at their own contested convention. While the party nearly always ends up an after-thought in November, recent polling shows Johnson pulling in double-digit support.
It seems these so-called “conservative” politicians would rather siphon votes from Trump than admit that the Republican nominee has the only chance of beating Hillary Clinton. Instead, they seem more than willing to hand her the keys to the White House.
See Bill Kristol’s cryptic tweet — and Trump’s response — on the next page:
His Impressive Independent is a Democrat bought and paid for. Kristol is also a Democrat, and Obama’s little$#%&!@*
Kristol is who to us? A comunist cheerleader.
Him and Romney are waking each other off!
We don’t need it, Bill.
Our country needs Donald Trump.
Go to h… Bill Kristol! Who are you, anyway???
Ever notice that stupid look and smile on morons like Billy Bat Kristol.
KRYSTOL IS A MORON. NO CREDIBILITY AND ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT FOR THE AMERICAN VOTER!
HE REPRESENTS THE NEXT PHASE OF OBAMA AND WILL DESTROY AMERICA!!!!!
You, Bill are a news paper editor, What the heck are you trying to prove. You are a DEM. NOT an Independent. This is the last resort the GOP has to offer the people of the U.S.? YOU ARE A BIG JOKE>
I have never heard of this person, I will still vote for trump
