Exclusive: Trump threatens third-party run
The Hill ^ | July 23, 2015 | Kevin Cirilli and Bob Cusack

Posted on 07/23/2015 6:56:56 AM PDT by Zakeet

Donald Trump says the chances that he will launch a third-party White House run will “absolutely” increase if the Republican National Committee is unfair to him during the 2016 primary season.

“The RNC has not been supportive. They were always supportive when I was a contributor. I was their fair-haired boy,” the business mogul told The Hill in a 40-minute interview from his Manhattan office at Trump Tower on Wednesday. “The RNC has been, I think, very foolish.”

Pressed on whether he would run as a third-party candidate if he fails to clinch the GOP nomination, Trump said that “so many people want me to, if I don’t win.”

Well my thoughts on Trump have been clear. (Major Clown).

Having said that, SOMEONE needs to start a third Party to get rid of the GOPe. And as much as I can’t stand Trump, this would be one protest vote I would make.

having said that, I’ll believe it when I see it.

Meanwhile, FOX News just reported that the Border Patrol has cancelled their plans to meet with Trump at the border.

I’m sure Obastard had nothing to do with that....no sir-ee.

By tomorrow, Trump will be running as a Democrat. Next week as a Green. The week after a Libertarian.

Definitely a threat to Rinse P. and Tokyo Rove to back off on their RNC nonsense and not to interfere in the upcoming debate.

I can't see the RNC supporting him, in any way. They can't control him.

Unless he grows very bored and decides to go back to being a gazillionaire, he'll run as an independent and Hillary will send him a box of chocolates.

Trump said that “so many people want me to, if I don’t win.”

A lot people want Trump to shave his head if he doesn't win, but that's not likely to happen either.

The RNC better get on board and support ALL their candidates. I’m watching this closely...I really don’t want to say that - I DIDN’T LEAVE THE PARTY - THEY LEFT ME.

This is about the fifth place I’ve seen this “exclusive” story.

I don’t blame Trump a bit. It’s his best leverage in keeping the Karl Rove slime merchants at bay.

Squishy Bush 1 => Clinton
Squishy Dole => Clinton
Squishy Bush 2 => Obama
Squishy Bush 3 => Clinton

No more squishy RINOs.

...maybe he is doing this to see how solid the ‘Republican’ base is....which isn't so solid...but no matter what happen, I want him to keep rattling the policitial bases and shake the nuts out of the trees....

I’m ok with that if Republicans nominate another RINO. Hopefully if it’s Cruz or Walker, Trump would endorse them.
