when the hell did Trump say he only has a 20% chance of winning?
If it is him -vs- HilLIARy he will win in a landslide
This is my husband’s biggest concern; that Trump would eventually go third party and draw millions of votes away from a good candidate like Cruz.
This is why I am thinking long and hard here in Open Primary Michigan which ballot to take. Should I squirrel the Dems and vote for Bernie or some other leftie wacko besides Hillary. OR, should I take a Repub ballot and help The Donald Save America???
More important, not alienate the base.
But that's not what the GOPe is doing. The RINOs are all attacking him with liberal codewords like "divisive" (Rubio).
I have friends who are union style old school Democrats from Cleveland, straight up blue collar types. When I say they are Democrats, that is true in a sense. I don't know that they've ever voted. They both have said they will vote this election if Trump is truly running.
Trump already addressed this anyway saying he would not be a spoiler.
Trump isn’t running as a third candidate. Right now he is leading the GOP field.
Making up hypothetical scenarios is a cheap shot. Because the candidates Davis support could go to a third world country and lead an army in an invasion against the U.S.
RE: Perot 2.0
Perot was MOST responsible for getting Bill Clinton elected in 1992.
Clinton only got 43% of the vote. Papa Bush got 38%, and get this — Perot got 19% !!
Many pollsters believe that he siphoned votes out of REPUBLICANS.
If Trump is today’s Perot, then (God forbid) we’ll have a repeat of 1992 with ANOTHER Clinton in Power.
I’d vote Trump, 3rd Party, before I voted for John Ellis or some other RINO.
Trump is a very smart guy, but he’s also a guy who can make you cringe. Cruz I think knows this, he seems to be positioning himself for this particular eventuality. I don’t trust Cruz, but the man isn’t stupid.
0% chance he runs third party. He can’t really run at all.
They should call his bluff. Dare him to run third party.
He may be right about immigration but he’s still a liberal.
If the GOPe had not been so feckless they would not have to worry about some one like Trump coming along and spoiling things for them. What was the line from Shakespeare, “Methinks the lady protests a bit too much.”
I’m tired of these GOPES running over to The New York Slimes or Huffpoo to get their dirty work minimizing the messenger and issue done.
More than anything, the establishment is terrified that Trump will point out their candidates’ “nakedness”, which makes it much harder to run on the platform of “Vote for me or the Democrat will win!”, having no other popular platform.
In effect, Trump is running against the Republican establishment, so at this point it doesn’t actually matter that he isn’t a tried and true conservative. As long as he can draw blood from them, he should be appreciated by us.
Trump Takes Lead In NATIONAL Poll – Significant Lead… (Full pdf Included)
Trump is SMART. He knows that running as 3rd Party simply assures Sanders’ victory in November.
He’s doing JUST FINE in the Republican Party. He’ll be the nominee in November, since everyone else (with the possible exception of Cruz) is on the Amnesty side...which is NOT what the base wants.
Hilarious.
