Is a new candidate going to enter the presidential race? - CBS News
Republican Power players Bill Kristol and Mitt Romney have been teaming up with a bunch of secretive meetings to talk about a possible third party challenger to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and apparently influential personalities like Mark Cuban have been courted into these discussions.
Sneakily over the weekend Kristol hinted yet again that these plans are much more concrete than simple Washington rumors. So much so that Donald Trump himself attacked Kristol on twitter about the yet-to-be-announced challenger. I think it's safe to say that we can rule out the 17 individuals who ran in the primaries. But what Republican (if indeed it is a Republican) can out-muster the trumpster, if 17 already did not? You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who can. I wonder if they are going with a non-politician like Cuban who can take Trump's rapid fire TV appearances.
I highly doubt many voters and especially Trump supporters would consider Romney impressive. I tend to disagree with them, if Romney wants to run, I'll support him, but he'll be a laughing stock to the public at large. The guess is anybody's at this point, but I really can't see other Republicans beating Trump at this point in the race.
Who do you think this new challenger could be?
