Trump's best chance for victory would be as the GOP nominee
From the very beginning of the first GOP presidential debate, Donald Trump was in the spotlight and under fire from Fox News commentators. The first question asked for a show of hands of all candidates who would not pledge to support the Republican presidential nominee. Only Donald Trump raised his hand, which led to the first of many confrontations during the debate. He was challenged by moderator Brett Baier and lambasted by Senator Rand Paul for buying and selling politicians. While Trump declared that he wants to run as the Republican nominee, he is wise to keep his options open.
The Republican establishment is terrified of Trump, who can finance a third party campaign and is independent of special interests. They will continue to mercilessly attack him, hence Trump is smart to maintain leverage and keep open the third party alternative.
It may also provide a needed choice for the American people. If the presidential nominees are Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Jeb Bush, or another RINO, Trump should enter the race to give voters a real alternative. The last thing the country needs is another Bush or Clinton in the White House.
Trump would be pulling blue collar votes from the Democrats as well as the GOP.
That is ALWAYS the argument. I will lose now to win later. I will never, ever vote for the GOPe choice. We say this EVERY time and they know we will say it. They know we are lemmings. We are OWNED by the GOPe and we will never, ever break free as long as we think like this. Ever.
You love your RINO’S, don’t you? There is no difference between Yeb and Hillary. Yeb loves his precious Mexico more than he loves the US. It’s time the GOPe dies a painful death. Wake up.
No, you’re not alone. I agree completely.
Everybody knows that a 3rd Party run would hurt the GOP, most don’t care. FOX’s treatment of Trump made millions more willing to vote 3rd Party if they have to. The enemy is the establishment elites in both Parties.
Difficult to tell! But having to be constantly picked up by the Capitol Police doesn't help his reputation, that's for sure...
