Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he would “certainly not give up” the possibility of running as a third-party candidate if he is not treated “fairly” by the GOP.

This isn’t new. He has already said that.
It’s the art of the deal. He’s negotiating in a hardball kinda way.
Flip-flopping again?
He really does whine, doesn’t he. Trump first...everyone else 2nd...
Yep, what a guy.
If he actually does it, then he is another Ross Perot psychopath.
He is negotiating.
Saying what he’s been saying, for some time...at least ever since the GOPe began their attacks against him. (It’s a warning shot, across the bow, to Rinse Prius.)
Well there again: MSM ‘remaking the news’ they just don’t know what to do....so they ‘make up’ the news, lie and lie and lie some more....
How hard is it just to report the news, like they used to before they thought they were so IMPORTANT we can’t live without them??????
Nominate me or screw you. Either way he’s already gotten over on the GOP. Time for us to stop bailing water on this sinking ship called the Republican Party and set off on our own.
He’s not flip-flopping. He’s sending (repeated) warning shots to your BFF Rinse Prius ;-)
LOL...
Ah, negotiating! Yep, this comes after promising he’d stay a Republican.
Trust Trump! yeah right.
Technically, it would be a SECOND-party run.
LOL!
Nov 14th is the deadline for the Texas primary.
So we’ll know by then.
The Donald had better start laying the groundwork for a third party run cause there is no way in Hell the Republican party is going to accept an outsider as their nominee.
Bush is the chosen one and they probably already have the signs printed.
Remember, winning is not as import as???????????????
Something.
Working for Hillary.
Good job DT. Let the pussycats at the RNC know you are in it to win it.
Yes we know about the leverage he applies to the GOPE.
The Art of the Deal.
This is a brilliant negotiation tactic, especially when he’s trying to represent a silent majority against GOPe and uni-party forces. The ONLY leverage he has to make sure they give him and primary voters a fair opportunity for their support to be heard (i.e, not locking him out of debates, giving him access to the voter databases that all other Republican candidates get) is this dead man’s trigger, so to speak. He holds all the cards and can ensure that no GOP nominee wins the presidency, and he’s rightly using it to make sure he gets a fair fight.
Without this leverage, you’d better believe GOPe would find a way to stifle his chances.
