Bill Kristol Eyes Conservative Lawyer David French for Independent Presidential Run

It's as if Kristol picked a candidate that was so amazingly marginal and unelectable that he and his buddies could pull this self-aggrandizing stunt without actually impacting Trump and the GOP at all.

This is the first thing you see upon Googling the guy.

Off to a rollicking start.

I don't understand, is this text wrong or is the picture in the OP article wrong?

It's not like he would ever go against the GOP anyway. They keep him in business

Oh yes he would. He and his ilk care not a whit for the GOP or "conservatism." They are the war party, and they care only about furthering the promotion of endless war. They would be just as happy with neo-Wilsonian Democrats.
 
LOL Romney should've run. This guy ain't gonna do shit. My guess was wrong, but I messed up assuming it was going to actually be sort of a serious contender, not this shit.

Nah. Romney could have inspired centrist Democrats and moderate independents to go right instead of left. A little wiener like French only needs to steal .5% from Trump to make a difference.

Not talking about it being good for the Dems (although it probably would be), I'm talking about if he actually wanted to mount a serious opposition to Trump.

Your right though, even if he only gets a small fraction of the vote it's gonna be all people who would've otherwise voted for Trump (or not at all). This is good for the democrats for sure, although the magnitude of the effect is yet to be seen.
