David French (who?) - Conservative for President (1 Viewer)

[lakerstan]

I know it is unlikely to gain much traction, but Bill Kristol REALLY doesn't like Trump and wants a Conservative Independent to run.  In my opinion, this just splits the Republican vote and ensures a Hillary victory.

Does anyone have thoughts about French as a candidate or what this will do?

Best beard in politics since Chester Arthur

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

If they're just going to run some National Review writer, why doesn't Kristol run himself?  

 

[Dignan_]

Kristol and Glenn Beck are competing with each other for biggest attention whore meltdown over Trump. 

It is sad to watch. 

Nobody with a lick of intelligence pays attention to either one of these clowns.

Michelle Obama?

It will be interesting to see how many states he can get on the ballot in. He's already missed some deadlines.

Smart move is lining up parties on the ballot in 50 states already.

He was my favorite in "Family Affair"

WE don't want no Frenchies in here, this is Murica!

 

[MaxThreshold]

I loved him on Family Affair!

I don't think this guy will cut the mustard.

Bill kristol is an idiot 

 

[Homer J Simpson]

I don't know, Bill...the French are ###holes.

The man made the best Untidy Samuels'.

 

[jon_mx]

If someone was really smart they would just start a party called "Other".  It is already doing pretty well in the polls.  

 

[Tom Servo]

If they're just going to run some National Review writer, why doesn't Kristol run himself?  

Kristol writes for the Weekly Standard.

 

[Gary Coal Man]

Little known fact, when not writing for National Review David French acts as Chris Elliot's stunt double.

Maybe a late run by Kerry so we can finally settle the eternal debate?

(It's mustard, BTW)

 

[Joe Summer]

Will he be changing his name to David Freedom?

It was a run. I'll remember fondly the five days of his campaign.

Sheesh I saw where his wife tweeted he had gone off for a solo retreat to ponder his future and obviously he came back decided against. Seems like a good guy but this was never going to fly. 

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

French's open letter.

Damn.  I must of been too young to realize what a hottie cissy was.  

 

[lakerstan]

So much for that....

Did Bill Kristol even talk to this guy before telling the world that he should run for president?

Letting it leak out was not good and really not nice considering French is JAG.

But this may be best for Kristol & Friends, they need a pro pol with a national name. Go big or go home.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Conservative.


Insta fail.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Even Jim Gilmore can laugh at this presidential 'campaign'

Nobody with a lick of intelligence pays attention to either one of these clowns. 

And now that they are opposing Trump, a lot of Republicans have stopped paying attention to them as well. 

 

[Chadstroma]

It wouldn't take too much for me to be interested to an alternative to Trump or Clinton.

 

[Statorama]

Hearing the news that David French might run as a third party candidate was like being given passes to a sneak preview and finding out the movie starred Josh Hartnett.

Love the thought of a legitimate third party candidate, but it would have to be someone with major star power to win.  Obama, Palin, Trump, Hillary...I don't think policy matters anymore.

President Eddie Murphy?  President Tom Hanks?  President Robert Downey Jr.?

 

[Homer J Simpson]

I would totally vote for Tom Hanks. 

 

[Chadstroma]

I would totally vote for Tom Hanks. 

I would vote for Colin Hanks at this point.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I finally got to see this guy on Megyn Kelly last night and I liked him. I know he's not everyone's cup of tea policy wise and I guess he's likely not 100% mine but he seemed like a very decent fellow.

 

[Rove!]

I would vote for Colin Hanks at this point.

I'd vote for Mr Hankey at this point..

 

[skol asylum]

A winning ticket if he can find someone with the last name of Tickler as his VP.

 

[Chadstroma]

I'd vote for Mr Hankey at this point..

I would vote for you at this point.

I've never seen a candidate grilled more and treated with more hostility from interviewers than Trump (including Governor Palin), so I'll give him points for continuing to take them on.  The guy from Face The Nation (who once pleaded with Obama to destroy the Republican Party) was embarrassingly aggressive in an interview last weekend.  It came across as quite rude.
