It seems that Kristol has gone off the deep end. 99% of people have no idea who French is.
Kristol Eyes Conservative Lawyer David French for Independent Presidential Run
The conservative editor of the Weekly Standard has been searching for a candidate to challenge Trump and Clinton in the general election.Two Republicans intimately familiar with Bill Kristol’s efforts to recruit an independent presidential candidate to challenge Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have told Bloomberg Politics that the person Kristol has in mind is David French -- whose name the editor of the Weekly Standard floated in the current issue of the magazine.
French is a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. According to the website of National Review, where French is a staff writer, he is a constitutional lawyer, a recipient of the Bronze Star, and an author of several books who lives in Columbia, Tenn., with his wife Nancy and three children.Reached in Israel late Tuesday afternoon, Kristol declined to comment on his efforts to induce French to run.
The two Republicans confirmed that French is open to launching a bid, but that he has not made a final decision. One of the Republicans added that French has not lined up a vice-presidential running mate or significant financial support.

Has he done something illegal?
Looks to me as if Kristol, who is a conservative, is trying to find a conservative to run in this race.
Unlike Christie, Rubio, et al, Kristol is actually standing on principle.
I celebrate that. And so would you,,,,,,,that is, you would if Paul Krugman suddenly started urging Elizabeth Warren to run. Funny how that works,
