Oh, yeah!  Looks like us #Nevertrump may have some for which to vote other than warmed-over Libertarians, and the dregs of the Constitution Party.

There are roughly 320,000,000 people in America.   Nearly 319,999,998 of the are better than either stumpy or hitlery.   The likelihood that Kristol's find could be worse that stumpy or hitlery is slim.

I know, right?  Some are trying to get him to clarify as to the timing of an announcement, but so far (to my knowledge) he hasn't responded.

Because many of us think that both stumpy and hitlery are worse than "RINOS" (a term I'm retiring from personal use).  stumpy and hitlery are both tending toward socialist, hitlery in an international perspective, stumpy in a nationalist one.

oooh - Goes to the ALL CAPS  and the 7x !

You surely saw the polls that show a large number hoping for better than the binary one now in the offing.

Though, color me skeptical until Kristol puts up instead of teasing.

I would have more confidence in a different source.  But who knows.  I can't wait to hear who they've got.
He sounds as if he knows something.  Given where he sits on the GOP spectrum, his idea of a great candidate is likely to be quite different from mine.  So I don't know what to make of it yet.  Good or bad, time will tell if it is true at all.

He's talking about Gary Johnson, the Libertarian.  He was chosen as nominee, with William Weld as VP.

Do you think Krystol considers Johnson to be "an impressive one, with a strong team"?  He also said that the candidate would be independent, and Johnson, be in the Libertarian Party, IMO wouldn't be classified as an independent.

Bill Kristol Claiming He Has An Independent Candidate
Twitter ^ | May 29, 2016 | Pinkbell
Posted on 5/29/2016, 5:56:32 PM by Pinkbell

Per Twitter

"Just a heads up over this holiday weekend: There will be an independent candidate--an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance."

-Bill Kristol

Who is it, Mittens?

This absolutely disgusts me. This fool is going to cost us the election because he and some bitter Cruz supporters didn't get their way. He knows it will split the vote and we won't win. A few things:

1)He wants to cause enough of a vote split where no candidate has the 270. Ok. Let's say he does that. He will literally be usurping the will of all the people who voted for Trump in the primaries and general (which will be way more than his guy).

2)That assumes his candidate will even win one state. I would venture to guess his candidate won't win a single state but will divide the votes enough to help Hillary.

3)Maybe he wants Hillary. I had a Cruz supporter tell me on Twitter he'd rather 4 years of Hillary (he says it will only be 4 years) and 2 Supreme Court picks from her (he insists it will only be 2) so he can get a conservative like Cruz in 4 years.

Somewhere Hillary is cackling at the stupid party and "principled" conservatives who are willing to torpedo Trump to get all or nothing.

Let's hope either Bill is bluffing or this fails. Even Trump the other day seemed to concede it would give Hillary the election.

It takes a special kind of elitist attitude to usurp the voters of your own party and tell them you know better.

FR isn't taking it well... can anyone confirm that he just wants to prevent any candidate from getting 270? That's an insane plan! LOL

To say nothing of the fact that Trump is being embraced by RINOs by the dozen. He is part of the problem, enriching himself through crony capitalism- and certainly not the solution.

Hitlery should have been serving her prison term by now.

That has been Kristol's plan from the get go.

Agree completely.  The point right now isn't the appearance of the true conservative,  but a sober, experienced and honest hand who isn't a crazy fascist or a corrupt socialist.

It will likely be Romney after a sudden party switch. If not, it will be Romney level horrible. Kristol is if nothing else, an idiot.

Whatever else happens this year, there will be more elected Republican politicians on the Libertarian ticket than on the GOP ticket.
