1. 2 anonymous sources speaking to Halpering???

I could not care less about who Kristol wants to recruit, he cant be good. But frankly, Halperin is nothing more than the National Enquirer and democracy is in danger when the political media is trying to guess who Kristol wants to recruit rather than going after Trump. This is very sad.

13. You nailed Halpering

He's a Smug piece of crap

[morningfog]

2. He fits the bill. It just needs to be a non-lunatic conservative.

How many state ballots will Kristol get him on?

3. I can see the angle

[Warren DeMontague]

4. His last name is "French"?

unless he changes it to "David Freedom" he's got no chance with the GOP voters.

[DesertRat]

12. Ha! Good point

[underpants]

14. Thank you

I saw this earlier today and thought FRENCH? Really?

[Jackie Wilson Said]

5. Kristol is scared to death that if elected, Drumpf wont do the

things Kristol and friends want done.

But I think they need not worry.

Drumpf will absolutely lower taxes on the rich who already pay less than everybody else and he will absolutely make sure wall street is untouched, so I dont understand the concern.

6. Sounds like a sure bet for 1% of the vote

Who is that?

7. the republicans cannot elect a man named French...

They hate the French

[Gomez163]

8. IS HE RELATED TO MR. FRENCH???????

[Warren DeMontague]

15. He makes a damn fine mustard.

9. Unsurprisingly, Kristol wants to volunteer SOMEONE ELSE....

...to step into the line of fire.
