GOP Leader Donald Trump: I Will Not Run Third Party, I Will Only Run as a Republican (VIDEO)

Dana Loesch spoke with 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump today on her Blaze television program.
Dana asked Mr. Trump about sharing Lindsey Graham’s cell phone number with the public, the Planned Parenthood controversy, same sex marriage, and what he would do to fix the Veterans Administration.
Donald Trump told Dana he will not run third party and will only run as a Republican. Trump is currently leading the polls in Iowa.
** Much more here. Link to VIDEO
When it becomes clear to him that he won't win the nomination I fully expect Trump to run third party.
There would be lots of diamonds in DC if each one had a lump of coal in their respective, er, backsides.
Problem is he constantly changes his mind on just about everything.
He has been repeatedly quoted as saying he plays to win in all ventures. His Plan B here is to win big or lose big. He will lead a comfortable life after all this is over in any event.
I suppose that is good news.
“GOP Leader Donald Trump”
Now that’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are.
So this is the strategy for making the GOP into a pro-abort party.
Hear! Hear!
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) estimated that as of fiscal year 2009 the total alien--non-U.S.-citizen--population was about 25.3 million, including about 10.8 million aliens without lawful immigration status. Some aliens have been convicted and incarcerated (criminal aliens). The federal government bears these incarceration costs for federal prisons and reimburses states and localities for portions of their costs through the Department of Justice's (DOJ) State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP).
The number of criminal aliens in federal prisons in fiscal year 2010 was about 55,000, and the number of SCAAP criminal alien incarcerations in state prison systems and local jails was about 296,000 in fiscal year 2009 (the most recent data available), and the majority were from Mexico. The number of criminal aliens in federal prisons increased about 7 percent from about 51,000 in fiscal year 2005 while the number of SCAAP criminal alien incarcerations in state prison systems and local jails increased about 35 percent from about 220,000 in fiscal year 2003.
Based on our random sample, GAO estimates that the criminal aliens had an average of 7 arrests, 65 percent were arrested at least once for an immigration offense, and about 50 percent were arrested at least once for a drug offense. Immigration, drugs, and traffic violations accounted for about 50 percent of arrest offenses. About 90 percent of the criminal aliens sentenced in federal court in fiscal year 2009 (the most recently available data) were convicted of immigration and drug-related offenses. About 40 percent of individuals convicted as a result of DOJ terrorism-related investigations were aliens.
SCAAP criminal aliens incarcerated in selected state prison systems in Arizona, California, Florida, New York, and Texas were convicted of various offenses in fiscal year 2008 (the most recently available data at the time of GAO's analysis). The highest percentage of convictions for criminal aliens incarcerated in four of these states was for drug-related offenses. Homicide resulted in the most primary offense convictions for SCAAP criminal aliens in the fifth state--New York--in fiscal year 2008. GAO estimates that costs to incarcerate criminal aliens in federal prisons and SCAAP reimbursements to states and localities ranged from about $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion annually from fiscal years 2005 through 2009;
The sad fact is the GOP is controlled by their corporate paymasters. The GOP failed to highlight this wave of criminal alien crime because it would affect the supply of cheap labor. Donald Trump put a face on these crimes by producing Americans who had been victims. His efforts have resulted in Congress finally holding hearings on sanctuary cities and criminal aliens. IMO this will be all for show and nothing will be done in the end. The carnage will continue until the American people hold their representatives accountable. Don't hold your breath.
Yep. And if one of these POS RINOs end up as the nominee, the GOPe only has itself to blame, as they can’t blame a 3rd-party candidate.
I don’t know what the majority of Republicans think, but I know that they have given us horrible candidates the last two elections. It’s time for the Silent Majority to take the reins.
Until the GOPe manages to thoroughly p*ss him off. Then I suspect he will change his mind.
To me this sounds like he is pretty confident he can win the nom.
He will beat Hillary or "Colonel" Sanders like a dusty rug.
Trump isn't a smooth-talking professional pol - he's a larger-than-life New York businessman. People expect this kind of rhetoric from him. I think he'll get a mulligan for some of his controversial statements.
That's related to what I was trying to say.
Yes...It’s time for the “Silent Majority” to become “Unsilent”........
“...Trump isn’t a smooth-talking professional pol...”
One of his best qualities................
