Donald Trump may be focussing his efforts on Hillary Clinton now that he’s effectively clinched the GOP nomination, but he may not be in the clear yet. Apparently, he may have to fight off one more conservative opponent.
Neoconservative political operative Bill Kristol announced Sunday that an independent candidate will enter the presidential race to challenge both Donald Trump and the Democratic Party nominee.
Kristol, the editor of The Weekly Standard, has been trying for months to find a third-party challenger since his preferred candidates lost in the Republican primaries to Trump. Now, just weeks after meeting with Mitt Romney to talk about a third-party run, Kristol hinted Sunday that his plot is coming to fruition.
Below is Bill Kristol’s tweet:
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.
Of course, Donald did what Donald does, and hit Kristol back almost immediately in a series of tweets.
“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!”
“The Republican Party has to be smart & strong if it wants to win in November. Can’t allow lightweights to set up a spoiler Indie candidate!”
“If dummy Bill Kristol actually does get a spoiler to run as an Independent, say good bye to the Supreme Court!”
An independent run may be formed in order to siphon voters from both Parties, but given the names that Kristol has thrown around — Romney, Rubio, and the like — his intentions seem clear. This isn’t an extra option for American voters, it’s an attack on Trump and his voting base.
Independents are mostly those who are fed up with both parties this will not effect the outcome trump is neither party go trump the NATIONALIST !!!
He needs to keep his nose out of politics. He is a comedian
He is an idiot, he is a Hillery lover.
