Trump would be CRAZY to put all his hopes on the Republican Party - we’ve all done that for DECADES, just to be SCREWED OVER again and again.
Trump is VERY WISELY keeping his options open.
Yeah options open.
At this point, I’d like to see Trump and Cruz form The Conservatives for America Party, or whatever they would like to call it. We need a new party to crowd out the sludge of the two corrupt ones currently ruining the country.
To accept the Hillary-will-be president scenario, you have to assume Hillary will be in the race. All this means is that Trump is serious after all and is sending a message the Republican head hogs.
Trump is a master negotiator and this is part of the process to get the respect he’s due from the RNC. The RNC will decide they’d rather have him running as an R than an I.
