William Kristol: Commentator Says Republicans Have to Start New Party if Donald Trump Wins Nomination


"Crowd-sourcing: name of the new party we’ll have to start if Trump wins the GOP nomination," Kristol, editor-in-chief of conservative publication The Weekly Standard, said in a tweet Sunday

Their will always be a party for rich people - just a different name if needs be.

PS I got this from Facebook and don't know how to do a link from them.

William Kristol: Republicans Have to Start New Party if Donald Trump Wins (Original Post) patricia92243 Dec 2015 OP
If he wins it is because both parties have collapsed. Agnosticsherbet Dec 2015 #1
He said "wins the nomination." Not the Presidency. n/t pnwmom Dec 2015 #3
Thanks. I would not complain if Republicans did a Whig. Agnosticsherbet Dec 2015 #5
He's referring to the nomination, not the general election. The Velveteen Ocelot Dec 2015 #4

So we would need two new parties.

As long as Democrats hang together, I don't think Trump can win.

And, unless the RNC does something to kneecap him he might very well win the nomination. Of course if the party does sabotage him I wouldn't be surprised if he did run as a 3rd-party candidate just to fuck them over.

Trump or no Trump.

Eventually.

Just waiting for working class Joes and and Janes to figure it out.

Wouldn't that be a hoot! Trump promised not to mount a Third Party run this election. But the RNC never promised not to do so. I would be rolling with laughter if Trump wins the Republican nomination and the entire RNC ran off and formed a new organization.
