Bill Kristol: We Have An Independent Candidate

Via CBS News:



Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol sent out a provocative tweet Sunday, suggesting that another presidential candidate — an independent — would be entering the race for the White House over the holiday weekend. Kristol said no more Sunday evening, beyond the tweet, which referred to the yet-to-be-named candidate as “an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance.”

Donald Trump unleashed a series of tweets in response, insulting Kristol, and both badgering the GOP and calling on the party to unite against this unnamed new opponent. He also implied in his tweets that an independent run would mean a Clinton victory and a liberal nomination to the nation’s highest court.
