Donald Trump-———Re-negotiating a contract the other side is breaking.
Whatever takes out the GOPe works for me.
Is all the chaos in the Republican party mere theater designed to elect Hillary? Are we, the electorate, the victims of a monstrous conspiracy? Our “leadership” is so bankrupt that anything is possible.
He knows regardless what the rules say the GOPe is trying to sink him because they know they're outclassed are scared of losing their power.
MISTAKE.
His claim to presidential legitmacy and the allegiance of Americans is too new and too fragile.
If he can’t make it within the established framework... he shouldn’t be running.
I think he CAN make it as a traditional nominee and if he wants to be a third party candidate, that says he’s not confident in himself. It will be a weak move that looks like and IS a mistake. Hang tough Donald!
I don’t get why Trump did not run as an independent from the start.
Sound the death knell for the old, dying left of center GOP!
Call it the Tea Party, or better yet The Oath Keepers!
This guy is not really a Republican.
Or he is making a threat that could influence the outcome in his favor. Making a threat is not breaking the deal.
And who says Trump wanted a level playing field?
Ohio has passed a spoiler law. If a candidate runs for a party’s nomination and fails, Ohio will not place his name on the ballot as an independent. I’m guessing Trump must know this. If not he needs to fire somebody.
Kasich and Bush, neither of which have any chance of winning this thing want to blow at least $2.5M of donations in taking down Trump. Tossing millions of GOP voter donations in the toilet... how very Rove of them.
What’s next? Graham and Pataki going to pool resources to take down Fiorina??
I don’t give to the GOP. I would if I wasn’t convinced that they would spend what little I’ve got on the most outlandish, reprehensible crap imaginable.
Better if he engaged someone to run vs. Kasich for Ohio Governor, or any other post he ever seeks .. and same for those who are funding the anti-Trump campaign. He can easily make their lives as miserable as they are trying to make his.
Why doesn’t he just run as a democrat?
What other political party has ever tried so hard to destroy their party’s front runner? I hope Trump does run on a third party ticket. I’ll support him and I hope he gets a ton of down ballot partners. I’ll vote for them too. I want to see the GOP dead.
“And he got one. The RNC hasn’t done anything to bring down his poll numbers nor does it plan to do so.”
That’s a bald-face lie! But it’s like that idiot Liz Mair said, “we keep our donors secret so there are no fingerprints!” Fortunately, she’s evidently done before she got started. Her “Go Fund Me” account raised $356.00 before it was closed. Looks as though Trump still has “The Trump Card.”
” SuperPAC’s have absolutely nothing to do with the RNC. They are completely independent organizations that can’t even coordinate their actions with the Republican Party or individual candidates. The RNC literally has no authority over them. Everything they do, they do on their own accord.”
I disagree with this. If it were a single super pack it might be true, however being a conspiracy between multiple competing candidate’s super packs, it is the republican party by any reasonable definition.
Don’t worry, Donald, the GOP won’t be able to insert a candidate of their internal choice. I will vote for you in a third party if it comes to that.
Who really believes SuperPACs are independent? Yeah, the Easter Bunny is real. Did you know it lays chocolate eggs?
Let’s call it ‘Tea Party’.... if the GOPe screws him over I’m ready to switch.
Any way, the election’s over already - Trump gets mad and runs third party or eventually his ceiling support of thirty percent gets outvoted by the other seventy percent of primary voters who chose an alternate candidate, his thirty percent are angered by the Kasich-Bush PAC’s and “establishment” GOP and revert to their macho, go out in the back yard and eat worms mentality and refuse to vote for the final candidate, and we will have President Hillary and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Eric Holder......
