While Trump refused to say he won’t run as a third party candidate, I don’t think that he will. He just can’t say it now because it would tarnish his take no prisoners image. He makes great theatre, and his celebrity status brings attention to a Republican primary that would lack excitement without him.

IOW, if Trump runs and that leads to Hillary being the one who gets to nominate 2-3 on SCOTUS, then it matters not....

All that matters apparently to some here is that Trump is running.

Apparently nothing else really matters now. All they have faith in now is Trump.

In Trump We Trust!!!

“The shuffling has begun. Trump has fired his campaign advisor and says he will kick his campaign into higher gear.
This is not going to end well.”

Exactly. Trump blames and will blame, everyone but himself as he slashes everyone who doesn't bow at his feet. I believe he is narcissistic and cannot see his own faults so he will continue to blame everyone and the world for not loving him. He will find every word that is critical of him, zero in on the person(s) who said it and will set about to destroy that/those person(s). His money is his weapon to use to do that. I believe he thinks he is god of the world due to the amount of money he has.

He continually brings his money into the conversation, says this person, that person, wanted/wants his money and he has turned them down. He is a destroyer of anyone he doesn't like and his list of dislikes is getting longer every day.

You say this won't end well, and that is a gross understatement. I believe it is going to end in a huge explosion of gigantic proportion. Just as Obama is destroying the country, Trump will destroy this election process on purpose and put a halo of greatness on his head and take credit for putting Hillary in office.

Sounds like Stone was simply trying to tell Trump the truth and Trump isn’t having none of it.

Bring out the fear card so we all fall in line and get behind the GOP. Same stuff, different election.

Hillary is fading fast. She is no more likely to be nominated than is Jeb Bush--maybe even less likely!

Those questioning Donald Trump's sincerity seem to have forgotten that Trump challenged Pat Buchanan for the Reform Party nomination in 2000. While Buchanan won, only to be viciously smeared by the Bush cadre in the election, the Reform Party--if not completely conservative--was certainly to the right of the Bush Republicans.

The point is not that Trump was as Conservative as Buchanan in 2000. I do not believe that he was. But he was already moving in that direction.

This time, he is obviously much more deeply committed to make the race. His personal legacy is at stake. He is a very proud man--anyone can see that. His sincerity is creditable under all of the evidence. Yes, Cruz is more Conservative; but I am really not sure any other listed candidate is.

We should all be encouraging Donald Trump, not trying to tear him down. He is one great asset right now.

Trump has already said he would nominate an Alito but not a Roberts.

"Carson is not"

Isn't Carson for an Assault Weapons Ban?

"A Right wing POTUS could add six members if he had the stones"

That's politically untenable.

Just ask Roosevelt.

Where does Carson think Souter and Roberts came from?

Wow. I’m sorry you didn’t get the memo! The two nominees are jebito and piaps. Or one of their clones. If you wish to argue that either of them will differ one scintilla in their judicial nominees, please do so. I’ll make some popcorn and try not to laugh out loud.
