Garbage talk from Luntz trying to cause dissension and grief within the ranks. Trump is not going to play all his cards at one time (no pun intended) and say no. Of course he’ll hang that option out there for leverage. Or, maybe he’ll just say P_ss on the GOPe and do it and prove them wrong and win the election as a 3rd party candidate? Just because it didn’t work in 1992, doesn’t mean it can’t work today.
The bigger dangers is a jbush running as a sore loser third party.
Well, how many Democrat or more liberal voters would vote for Trump? Theoretically a 3rd party or independent candidate can win election, but so many people automatically vote for one of the two major parties.
Perot got 19% of the vote against Bill Clinton. Clinton got only 43% of the vote but won overwhelmingly in the electoral vote because he carried a number of individual states in the electoral college even though he got less than 50% of the vote in those states.
