Looks like the Texas deadline for independent filing for POTUS is June 23.
Another option is grabbing the Libertarian nomination.
Their convention is end of this month.
Thought I read that Texas deadline was last week. Could be wrong since I never researched it.
Libertarian is a very real possibility.
I’m sure the Libertarian Party views this cycle as a perfect opportunity to get on the map. Bet they’d dump Gary Johnson at their convention in a nanosecond for a big name such a Romney.
