I still think Trump will run independent, I know the arguments that say he can't, all the states with "sore loser" rules and the high expense of an independent run. But lets face it, I think if Trump gets screwed over at the convention that it will be more about making sure the Republican nominee loses than actually winning himself. As for the cost of running an independent run? He gets all the free press he wants so that isn't an issue, and he can run as a write in where he is bared from the ballot.

I'm not advocating this path mind you, it will guarantee a Hillary/Bernie victory, I'm just stating what I think will happen, Trump isn't just going to shrug and walk away quietly, it's not his nature.

Trump can run as the candidate from one of the parties that already has 50 state ballot access. Sore loser laws do not apply then.
