Monday on AM 970s The Joe Piscopo Show, pollster Frank Luntz suggested that since Republican presidential candidate and longtime Clinton friend Donald Trump refused to say he would endorse whoever got the Republican party nomination, it is a real possibility Trump is planning a third party run. This, as host Joe Piscopo pointed out, would allow Hillary to walk right in to the presidency and be an astonishing historical repeat, because Ross Perots third party candidacy is credited for President Bill Clintons victory over President George H.W. Bush in 1992.

I find it worrisome that Trump has been trashing his R opponents, but I don’t see him going after Hillary. I don’t know if he’s holding his fire, or if there is some coziness there.
You don't think most of the rest of the politicians are doing the same thing, or are trying to???
Trump is being honest about it and says he'll fight against it, as President...
I think what you are saying is projection. He has threatened to run the last four times. He was going to run in 2000, before anyone knew who Obama was. It’s very clear why he runs... to feed his narcissism.
FU! Prick. We were starting a reasonable discussion but you want to be a Gdamn asshole
He went after her in South Carolina just a couple of hours ago, who would you rather have negotiating with China, Trump or Hillary, and then did this thing mocking her hand wave.
Jeb would be *reaching across the aisle* nonstop.
There is no proof except what comes out of Lumptz’s mouf. He has been set to sabotage Trump for weeks now.
I do not think Trump will run 3rd party. He won’t because he knows he wouldn’t win.
If he decides to get out of the race at some point, some lucky guy will get his money and backing.
I wonder who that would be?
BUT, now he is taking financial hits over this run which will cause him issues in the future regarding doing business.
That right there makes him the real candidate and not one playing one.
Really running gets the politician screwed because of the lock Democrats have around this country on businesses, planning commissions and so forth.
Look how hard it is for Walmart to go up in some places because of the owners politics.
This is real.
Jeb and all Karl Rove candidates would only go left, never bring Democrats right.
So far on Gingrich has done that most recently (like twenty years ago...)
Trump knows how to take care of himself. He did not make his 9 billion by nebulous deals, he has built real buildings some with his name on it. Trump does real stuff. The Clintons just pull money out of thin air by the usual corrupt political means.
Only sure fire way to force Trump to go 3rd party (which he can afford to do) is for the 14 candidates (except Cruz) to keep attacking Trump by name.
In other words if GOP elites force him out of GOP, would you blame Trump to go 3rd party? What ever happened to accept defeat in poll numbers graciously?
Are the professional politicians gone postal because a non-professional politician has leap frogged them in poll numbers?
Trump is not a political kept woman, the Clintons are.
Luntz is a liberal and a classic TROLL for republicans.
That's what the D.C. corrupt insiders are attempting to do to Trump.
Looking sharp Max~
Sorry I want to beat Hillary.
So true. Luntz is a lefty opportunist.
Ah, but remember... he's all about "the deal."
What does Bush have except name recognition? What do his supporters actually say about what they like about JEB?
