The Dark Sith Lord of Neo-Cons, as we’ve nicknamed him, is now threatening to start a new Republican party if the GOP does something they almost certainly are going to do anyway.
Check it out:
If this happens, I'm starting the New Republican Party, we'll get on the ballot in 50 states, and we'll win in 2020. https://t.co/ybW7vxGynr

I’m not quite sure why THIS is the red line for Kristol – it seems like most top Republicans are 100% all in on the stupid decisions Reince has made, so it’s not like there’s many who would reject his election. But with the Republican party in an unending conflagration, it seems our only option is to start anew.
The question will be, should it be the New Republican Party? Or the New Federalists? Or the Renegade Party? #Decisions

I’ll applaud anything that is a conservative, principled rejection of the blind stupid nationalistic authoritarianism of Trump. Oh wait, that’s called Ted Cruz!!!
UPDATE!!!
OK, I made the dumb mistake of commenting without reading the post – this is probably what he’s more upset about:

And that makes sense. The GOP has shown that it is determined never to learn from its gigantic mistakes, even if it means losing to a historically bad candidate like Hillary.
