Oh puhleaze. If he did run 3rd party you would say it was his plan all along to split the GOP vote and guarantee Hillary's election.
It may have been, or not. I still think his bluff should be called. it would be more legitimate for him to run third party than Republican. Don’t you want him to run third party?
Hillary getting elected? With what is happening to her now, she will be lucky if she is not paraded out by the end of the year in handcuffs.
Now they are going to have to scramble to come up with another conspiracy theory.
I do not see a scenario where Trump does not get the nomination. Ben Carson, another non politician, is running second to Trump in all these polls. The establishment politicians are lagging far behind both of them. The Republican base has had it with establishment politicians. They are hungry for somebody outside the system to clean the mess up. They gave the establishment Republicans both houses of Congress and they did NOTHING.
Trump's enemies can spend a billion dollars on negative ads against him and it won't have any effect. The people supporting Trump (or Carson) are not going to settle for a Jebbie Bush, or a Rick Santorum or a John Kasich.
Put Trump and Carson's votes together and you have an epic mandate for change. A political earthquake of about 9.2 on the Richter scale. History is being made.
