If he ran as a independent it would insure Obama’s second term.
If we were given the choice of: Democrat: 0bama Republican: Romney Independent: Trump who would you vote for? That's just what it may boil down to.
Yes, If Trump wants to be POTUS he needs to win the GOP nomination or forget about it. A third party just does not work here. Given the likely GOP lineup I think Trump could probably win handily. Smartly he is bypassing all the other possible candidates and attacking Obama head on. If some of them don’t speak up soon they will just be background noise in the schoolyard brawl between Trump and Barry.
I see my favorite candidate Michelle Bachmann got a clue the other day and finally managed to squeak out a statement that Barry should trot out the BC. I think she figured out that she better lead, follow or get out of Trump’s way.
Maybe. I am not in favor of an Independent Candidate. A new Political Party would be better.
