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:
Billy Kristol needs to give it up we want Trump and no one else. Kristol needs to go home and get lost.
All you are going to do is divide this country even more than Obama has!! Get over yourself and let the voters decide who they want for president!
Bill Kristol stupid idiot just wants the attention. Sounding like a liberal Democratic Socialist cry baby. Lol
Billy Kristol hasn’t got the smarts to be “defiant” about anything! He is a little attention seeking old man that nobody cares about! He needs to go have a drinkey poo with little Mitty.
Bill Kristol is a low life blue dog RAT
I once like Bill Kristol and even subscribed to The Weekly Standard, but I will not any more. Whether you like Trump or not, a third party candidate will give the election to the Democrats. This country cannot take another four years of Democrats. I will back Trump all the way and hope that Kristol does not go through with this threat of an Independent ticket. It killed us when Rand Paul got into a third party race with Bush 41 and this will have the same effect now.
They don’t get it no more politicians
Who the hell is Kristin? If he really wanted to do something for this country he would have ran in the beginning.
In other words, Kriston promises a victory for The Butcher ! RINOs, can’t live with’em. The End.
He is just trying to make himself seam relevant.
