Oh Those Crazy Republicans!

William Kristol of the Weekly Standard and others have been talking up the notion of an "Independent Republican" candidacy in November. Immediately below he suggests, inter alia Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas at the head of the ticket! Lolol. But look at the second tweet: "If advisable the IR could withdraw at the end." ? What is this crazy man talking about? Belly laugh.


Who might the Independent Republican ticket be? Mitt Romney-Gen. John Kelly? Ben Sasse-Nikki Haley? Clarence Thomas-Mike Pompeo?

(3/3) Track Two: Would an Independent Republican elect HRC? No. Nominating Trump does that. & if advisable the IR could withdraw at end.

(2/3) Track Two: An Independent Republican would help down-ballot by giving non-Trump Republicans someone to come out for.

So, Track Two: An Independent Republican could win, w/ Clinton at 56 unfav & Trump at 67, & possibility of Trump meltdown in general. (1/3)
