No. Third Party can win for Trump. But it should n’t be necessary.
“Trump should take the 1237 delegates and then the nomination. But if there should be a floor fight, then a 3rd Party run will be successful because registrations of Independents have surged enormously from 24% in 2010 to 42% in 2014, and there’s an additional 5% to 7% coming in from people that haven’t voted in years or never voted. Add 5% of Reagan democrats, 6% blue collar republicans who did not vote for Romney, add an additional 4% of the black vote, 5% of Hispanics and Latinos who never voted GOP, and clearly there’s a winning margin over the democrats and what’s left of the GOP.”

“registrations of Independents have surged enormously from 24% in 2010 to 42% in 2014”
I wonder how many of those registrations are fraudulent.
