Bill Kristol building 'war machine' to challenge Trump in 2020 primary

From The Hill, by Reporter Joe Concha, 14 September 2018.

Not that Mr Bill Kristol would run himself, but he is looking to back a candidate.

Here is the lede plus one:

Conservative commentator and outspoken "Never Trump" critic Bill Kristol says he is building a "war machine" within the Republican party to challenge President Trump's 2020 reelection campaign, according to CNBC.

Kristol told the network that he's preparing "for a primary run against Trump," adding that Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) is on his shortlist of possible candidates.

It is the American Way.
