Trump needs to quote Obi-Wan:

“Strike me down and I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”

Trump is ahead in SC in a poll released today, 30-15 over Carson in 2nd place. Home state Lindsey is at 4. I think these state parties are on the verge of collective brain aneurysms, and don’t know how to deal with this.

Who is Nikki beholden to, Trump or the Establishment? There you have it. Yes, she has to be a BIG part of this.

Can Trump run as the GOP candidate in most states and as a third party in these three states?

**********************************************************************

Sounds like a good question to me. Hope somebody answers it.

This pledge works both ways. Are the other candidates prepared to support Donald Trump?

*********************************************************************

At the debate, they all said they would support the rep nominee. We may just find out how many of them were lying.

“I’m not a big Trump fan, as Cruz is my man, but the GOPe are making a HUGE mistake by playing dirty tricks out in the open like this.”

I concur except you need to say “yuge” mistake.;-)

Mika posed a question this morning, as to what happens if it’s Biden, Bush and Trump, riding on the Dem, Republican, Independent ticket?

I think Trump still wins. Maybe by a larger margin than if he stays on the R ticket. I dunno.

Just draft a loyalty oath for them to sign saying they’ll support Trump if he wins. If they sign his, he’ll sign theirs.

They won’t sign his, and if the press the issue Trump can pound them into the ground over their hypocrisy.

Is this before or after Sen. Linda Graham beats Trump’s brains out, as the honorable senator from South Carolina has threatened to do.

Trump will run third-party and it will be the death of the GOP.

Trump cannot kill the GOP. The leadership beat him to it. The GOP is already dead. Pay attention.

Trump & Linda are already twitter feuding so this is going to be interesting with SC actually doing this (other states ‘pondering’). Maybe hiding behind the loyalty oath put forth by the ‘establishment’ is Linda’s way of “beating Trump’s brains out”. I have no doubt Trump will find a unique and effective way of dealing with this spit in his face that will make the GOPe rue the day they didn’t “play fair”.

Let’s not forget that Presidential candidates WILL not be the only candidates
on the primary ballots.
If you piss off a bunch of Trump supporters, they will show up, write his name in
THEN vote against EVERY single congress critter on the ballot.
We are taking about MASSIVE “Cantoring” as a result.
Does the GOPe’s really want to take that risk?
We shall see.

The fact the GOPe is pulling this crap (it will backfire on them) just makes you despise these SOB’s even that much more.

Thye do this, you can officially stick a fork in them as a party.

.

Donald Trump would probably “open his political checkbook” (picture Hoover Dam torn asunder) to run TV ads against GOPe candidates (Yeb, Rubio, Kasich, Huckabee) in states where Donald Trump had been “prohibited” to run ...

As a political candidate, I would NEVER want to be on the “receiving end” of a Donald Trump funded “do-or-die” political advertisement war ...

A three party race with at least two name candidates will result in an election in the house. Not going to go for Trump.

This is ridiculous. The Constitution was created by people that had disdain for political parties. Wondering how this is legal.

Perhaps some Mark Levin type here at FR can explain that one.

The Party thugs want Trump to pledge, where is the reciprocal pledge to back Trump when he wins the state primaries? The racketeers want it all their way or no way. First they get Trump's pledge, then they will surely do their dirty work to corruptly fix the primary or the convention to get their favorite son as the nominee. They must think Trump was born yesterday. Only fools continue to think they can out trump Trump. Watch Trump take the sniveling know it alls to the cleaners. The party bosses are on a suicide rush and would sooner go down in flames than have Trump succeed. Now, their ‘in Trump's face’ manipulation of the Republican primary process reveals just how pathetically corrupt and desperate they are. This despicable act will back fire big time, you can count on it.
