Real ‘Possibility’ Trump Runs as a Third Party Candidate
Breitbart.com ^ | July 20 2015 | Pam Key

Posted on 07/21/2015 11:05:17 AM PDT by Coronal

Monday on AM 970’s “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 Perot’s third party candidacy is credited for President Bill Clinton’s victory over President George H.W. Bush in 1992.

Trump is nothing more than a perot with a little more style, perhaps....he's nothing but a Clintoon stooge and he'll batter the pub side enough, split the ticket, making hitlery the next obamanation...

but look who reads this blog....how many voted Obama in willingly, knowingly.....

There is a lot of money in the well connected insiders party...Lots of apple carts stand to be upset.

The reality is they need to be smashed.

Hell! Even I like the way that Hillary stood by her man! That is, and was, the only thing that I ever admired in her, since she abandoned her role as a teenaged Goldwater Girl, to try to rival the witch of Endor, by her late teens.

While on the subject of sticking by your mate. The one thing that is good about Jeb Bush is that he is loyal to his. On the other hand, that creates a clear conflict of interest, as he has admitted that it colors his stand on immigration; thus it morally should disqualify him from running for President--as it apparently has made it impossible for him to remain objective on a question vital to the American future.

If, the gope pulls another Mississippi during the primaries, every Conservative should line up behind a 3rd party run.

What is the difference between Hillary and most all the rest of the GOPe candidates?

Trump would be a fool to guarantee not to run 3rd party. He should keep it out there as a possibility. Then, the only way to keep him from running 3rd party would be to nominate him as the R candidate.

Anyway, as others have said on this thread already, in the case of Jeb getting the R nomination, it doesn’t matter if Trump runs 3rd party or not.

If Jeb gets the R nomination, the dems could run Sheila Jackson-Lee and win in a landslide.

Ah, what difference would it make? Prez Jeb or Prez Hillary? I wouldn’t vote for either anyway. I’m sick of the pretend GOP and their pretenders and sell-outs and idiot closet Marxists with no spine and no principals. I’d rather have a Congress full of Trumps instead of 99% of the Republicans currently holding those seats.

Shows how much I know ... I thought he was dead.

Looks like he not only has a radio show, but he might be some kind of a converted Democrat (to “Independent”).

If Cruz or maybe Walker aren’t the nominees I think that could be true and what would be the difference?
At least Democrats let you know they hate you, the GOPe tries to keep you close then betrays you after you elected them so I am not offended in any way by a third party anyway unless someone like Cruz is the nominee.

As Hillary would say, “what difference would it make”?

Even the Republican House and Senate are full of surrender monkeys now to Democrats and special interests.
Where is the Republican illegal immigration bills and wall?

So I’m not bothered by third parties if it isn’t someone like Cruz because it really at that point would not matter.

There's no "could likely" about it. If Trump throws in as an indie, a landslide win for Hillary is assured. Now, that may be tantamount to a "see, I told you so" moral victory for some, but it does assure the country's slide to oblivion will continue unabated. Just so we all know what the consequences are.

And it's no secret...Everybody knows that...

The only intelligent thing to do then is for every one to abandon those other politicians in the primaries and vote for Trump...

If they don't, they have no one to blame for Hillary except themselves...It's going to be Trump or Hillary...There are no other options...

Who is the victim? Trump had used big government to screw over the public. Why don’t you stand up for the American public instead of Trump and his big gourmet cronies. How would you feel if your property wax taken by the government?

Trump is running because of the reverse direction this country has been taking under Obama and the mess Hillary made in the world as Sec of State.

His relationship with many are business. He’s building buildings and if you get leftists on the planning commission, how many buildings will get blocked from being built (and how many are going to get refused and stalled) after this Trump run.

You are not allowed to be anything but a liberal democrat and be allowed to operate in some cities.

So Trump felt bad enough about what was going on to risk his own income, give him credit for that.
