Unlike Bush-41 in 1992 with Perot, TRUMP WILL DESTROY ANYONE that attempts to go after him via Third Party.

That person will NEVER have another day of peace in his life.

And no, that’s not a threat, that’s simply my assessment of how Trump operates - it will be VERY UGLY for ANYONE to try that stunt against him.

I have no doubt that that is the plan. We mustn’t upset the gravy train.

Screw the Elite!

You said Trump should run third party now. I say that’s a ridiculous statement as is the crazy theory that the GOPe is going to run a third party candidate.

What will happen is that one of the GOP candidates more than likely Trump will win the nomination then everyone will kiss and make up and move on to the general election. Just they do every four years.

I DO NOT TRUST THEM. They don't care what "I" think. And they don't listen to anything "I" have to say.

The trajectory seems to have Trump taking most of the states in play on Tuesday. But they are OPEN, and proportional distributions so it will be an interesting barometer, but really won’t mean much. March 15th is the day. Most of them are closed primaries, and winner take all.

After that we will know with a high degree of confidence how things will play out.

If I were a betting man, I would say that Trump is going to win it. Having spent a fair about of time at the horse track, and have gotten smoked by the “pay for the hay” nature of that type of racing, I am always cautious about pronouncing a winner until I hit the pay-window.

Bloomberg hurts Clinton more than Trump. He was pretty liberal.


Yep. Bloomy would take suburban DC votes from Hildabeast and tip Virginia GOP.

Bloomberg does not need the establishment's help to launch a well-funded campaign. His problem is that he likely cannot win any states, other than perhaps New York and maybe a few other deep blue states. Being staunchly pro-abort and anti-gun, he can't win a single red state, and probably hurts Hitlerly--or whatever other Rat wins their nomination--in the key swing states.

A Bloomberg run would hand the presidency to Trump.

Ain’t going to happen. Nobody in the general public really has a clue on who Bloomberg is. No name recognition and zero face recognition out past the east coast. Not nearly enough time to introduce himself.
