Kristol: Trump Taint May Force Republicans to Form New Party

As Bill Kristol tries to keep the #NeverTrump movement alive, he’s also warning that traditional conservatives will probably have to create a whole new party in order to recover from Donald Trump‘s impact on the GOP. “I now wonder really whether the Republican Party itself doesn’t get so tainted by Trump that you have to think of the possibility of a new party or a really radically somehow revised or reformed party,” Kristol said. He lamented how the Republican Party has no one to effectively stand up to Trump while he corrupts it with repeated, incendiary controversies. While he admitted that his ideas sounded fanciful, Kristol was deeply worried about what could happen to the GOP’s legacy once the election is over.
