UPDATE: Bill Kristol’s #NeverTrump ‘Renegade Party’ Has Only 2,700 Followers in 20 Hours

Bill Kristol and the GOP elites are still hurting.

On Monday #NeverTrumper Bill Kristol went on Newsmax TV and announced he was naming his anti-Trump protest party the Renegade Party.

Obviously, Republican elites want a candidate that is pro-amnesty, pro-Trans Pacific Trade agreement, and anti-Trump.
The voters want Trump.
The elites don’t.

I’d assumed the new party should be called the New Federalist Party or The New Whig Party. But now I’m thinking, The Renegade Party…
