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…

On Tuesday Kristol’s Renegade Party Twitter account was launched.
Only around 2,700 people are following the renegades.
It’s a movement.
The principles that have made America the greatest nation in history must be defended. It’s that simple. pic.twitter.com/bn3cYFNPm4

Kristol’s pretty excited anyway.
Welcome, @renegadeparty, to Twitter!
