Now, after just about all the Republican presidential contenders have met with him in an attempt to procure his blessing, and after he has had kind things to say about them, he somehow decides to leave the party.
Be alert for an independent Trump run for the presidency, just like Ross Perot in 1992 and 1996. Perot stealthily helped Clinton beat Bush 41 in '92, and Trump may well be playing the same game to help Obama next year.
Thanks justiceseeker93.
Trump has history with that.
Pataki was for expanding Indian gaming in NY, that was bad for AC so Trump bankrolled a third party challenge to Pataki. The man is scum, his only agenda is his own bank account and ego.
That said I sincerely doubt he’s running. He’s doing this for attention. His thinking of running as a Republican was used as leverage to get more money from NBC for his stupid show.
The guy I’m worried about being a third party is Ron Paul.
Gary Johnson may end up as the Libertarian nominee. That wouldn’t be good for Republicans.
An equally logical case could be made, that Bush prevented Perot from being elected, thereby throwing the election to Clinton.
Just saying.
The GOP establishment does not own some banner of legitimacy.
They’re a large part of the problem imo.
