Bill Kristol: Lindsey Graham Should Get Back in Race

[Origanalist]

Ha ha ha ha.....

Conservative writer William Kristol is encouraging GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham to resume his suspended presidential campaign, arguing "the way things are going, he might win."

The Weekly Standard founder and editor — and vocal Donald Trump critic — has so far failed to prod National Review writer, constitutional lawyer, and Iraq war veteran David French to launch an independent bid as a conservative alternative to the GOP presumptive nominee, but the South Carolina senator's move to back away from his Trump endorsement seemed to pique Kristol's interest.
Kristol on Tuesday tweeted it'd be "easier" if Graham just resume his own presidential campaign.

Easier for Lindsey just to run, would give us all someone to vote for. And the way things are going, he might win. https://t.co/dbJIdf44kL

Because .......?

 

[juleswin]

Because .......?

The self bastard thinks Trump is not sufficiently neocon enough which is completely insane if one looks at the man's history. Which we all know is the best predictor of future behaviour.

 

[acptulsa]

Political theater.

Billy Kristol will do this every time people seem to be realizing that, were Trump actually anti-Establishmnet, he would never have gotten the media coverage he has received.

Graham? Kristol wants Graham to run? Toward what end? The sissy warmonger's own mother didn't vote for him.

Graham should get back in. Without all the competition he might get 2% instead of 1%.

 

[nikcers]

He's mocking Trump thats kind of funny, he is saying Trump can't win. Might as well send Lindsay Graham, he is just as unpopular.

 

[Lovecraftian4Paul]

Kristol should run himself or shut up. Even that French guy bowed out and didn't want to be his lapdog.

French also chose not to put his family in further danger from the Trump mob:

David French said Tuesday that someone who identified themself as affiliated with Donald Trump's campaign tried to "intimidate" him while he was considering an independent presidential bid.

"It was probably one of the more ham-handed attempts at intimidation out of the Trump operation," French, a constitutional lawyer, said during an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

French, who announced Sunday night he would not launch a White House bid in opposition to Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, said the person called a family member of his wife in Tennessee.

"I considered it a ham-handed effort to intimidate," French said when asked if he thought it was a threat.

According to French, the operative said, "I'm sorry but I've been asked by the Trump campaign to make sure that David knows that this will be really bad for him."

"I have been against Trump for sometime, and the assaults on my family have been overwhelming, just as a writer," French, who writes for the conservative National Review, said.

The lawyer pointed to an "online racist mob" that Trump often "stokes" with controversial retweets in discussing attacks on his multi-racial family from Trump supporters.

"They have gone after my youngest daughter in the worst way imaginable," he said.

French insisted that "there's a path" for someone to launch an independent bid, saying most Americans want to consider a candidate beyond Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

"There's a hunger out there," French said, adding a possible independent candidate needed immediate resources or have access to resources to launch a viable campaign.

An irrelevant talking head making himself even more irrelevant by propping up an even more irrelevant politician.

Nah, I'm not taking neo-con jackasses at face value. More likely explanation is he knew he'd limp in at a humiliating percentage behind most other third parties and made up a story about threats. Or maybe some online idiots said a few mean words that were blown out of proportion. Seriously, anyone could've gone on Reddit any day of the week and received death threats if they badmouthed Bernie before his campaign was done.

Kristol. What a train wreck.

[Peace&Freedom]

Desperation.

No establishment guy will take the fall and go down in history as ruining the GOP's chance of beating Hillary in 2016, even the no-name flunky French. Adelson tried to buy a flunky VP (Newt) for $200 million last week, but Trump turned him down. That's why elite frontman Kristol had to talk up a new wrinkle about an opposing candidate, and why there was such a verbal barrage dropped on Trump since then. Billy Kristol will float a new trial balloon every time elite people again realize that Trump really is anti-Establishmnet, as he would never have gotten the unremittingly hostile media coverage he has received.

Um, I think Kristol is floating a new trial balloon every time people begin to wise up to how establishment Trump is, which would be what all that unremitting coverage would seem to prove.

And which I think is what you meant.

No, I meant you were wrong, and my counter suggestion was supported by the actual flow of events, which yours was not. An unremitting beat down is an unremitting beat down, not 'coverage.' The MSM has tried to either marginalize him or pistol whip him into compliance with their self-serving cultural lordship, and he won't comply. Each time the elite was defeated, they have responded by talking up or launching a new anti-Trump project, or new candidate.

At this point, they have paid out hundreds of millions, or tried to bribe him with hundreds of millions, to get Trump back into establishment line, or out of the way, yet nothing works. Even after the rare week where Trump was kept on the defensive, such as leading up to California, his poll standing held at a statistical dead heat with Hillary. Hence the desperation of the establishment, and new wave of opposition plans against his anti-establishment campaign.

He's a real hero in the face of overwhelming adversity.

They know how to keep a candidate who isn't serving their ends down. They ignore him. They not only didn't ignore Trump, they gave him more coverage than the rest of the candidates combined from the very first. Now, you can try to fall back on the tired old 'they couldn't ignore a celebrity' excuse. But we all saw them give him more coverage than all the other GOP candidates combined. Nobody--nobody--has so much celebrity that they have to get more coverage than all the other candidates combined unless and until they give him more coverage than all the other candidates combined. They aren't stupid, and some of us aren't either. They had a plan, and those of us with eyes to see know it.

The sovereignty of this nation lies in its Constitution. Trump is trolling us with the promise of sovereignty without constitutionality. He doesn't make any secret of the fact that he'd be using the Constitution as toilet paper, but people are fooled into thinking he's the National Sovereignty Candidate with promises of a big, fat wall. It's bait and switch. The wall won't keep out the New World Order. The Constitution will--unless we keep installing people who use it as toilet paper.

Let Trump trash the Constitution and globalism no longer has any obstacles at all. Even if you're just right enough about him and it doesn't come during his administration, that will only be four years.

Kristol is gaming you. If he doesn't pretend to disapprove of Trump's sleight of hand in removing the last obstacle to globalism while building a wall that won't stop globalism, then you might see how their game is designed to work.

The most patently absurd post I've ever read on these boards.
