According to this story, Bill Kristol and other anti-Trump Republicans may recruit David French to run for President as an independent. French is an attorney in Tennessee, and a staff writer for National Review. Thanks to Political Wire for the link.
UPDATE: here is a You Tube in which French is interviewed about North Carolina election laws. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link. Further update: on the evening of May 31, Mitt Romney said he respects David French and looks forward to hearing about his decision.
Wow! That’s a stretch!
I guess their plan to have Austin Peterson win the LP nomination didn’t work. Good luck with the ballot drives.
What an awful desperation pick.
“Reached in Israel late Tuesday afternoon, Kristol declined to comment on his efforts to induce French to run.” That’s all you need to know.
How about former NH Senator Gordon Humphrey.
Neocon Bill Kristol pushed a gullible George W. Bush into Iraq. If French accepts Kristol’s push into the arena then his first decision will be the wrong one because he lacks recognition, money and the political experience to know his candidacy futile and meaningless despite Bill’s casual reassurances.
This news is just what the billionaire financed LP has been waiting for to now have Trump using the powerless French to batter Johnson and Weld while Trump refocusing his bimbo attack rather on Clinton espionage during the 1980’s see the Cox report. LORAL PRC Lippo Group.
