Bill Kristol and the GOP elites are still hurting.

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

Republican elites want a candidate that is pro-amnesty, pro-Trans Pacific Trade agreement candidate – a principled conservative like John McCain(?)

The voters want Trump.

The elites don’t.

Last week Kristol’s Renegade Party Twitter account was launched.

Only 4,600 people are following the renegades in over a week.

It’s a movement.

On Sunday Bill Kristol announced there would be an independent candidate to take on Donald Trump in the fall election.

Just a heads up over this holiday weekend: There will be an independent candidate–an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance. — Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) May 29, 2016

Donald Trump responded to the threats tonight on Twitter.

Bill Kristol has been wrong for 2yrs-an embarrassed loser, but if the GOP can’t control their own, then they are not a party. Be tough, R’s! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 29, 2016

Trump also called out the Republican party.

The Republican Party has to be smart & strong if it wants to win in November. Can’t allow lightweights to set up a spoiler Indie candidate! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 29, 2016
