The Donald is at it again. After citing his possible independent presidential bid as the reason only two GOP candidates agreed to attend his Newsmax-sponsored debate, which he backed out of moderating on Tuesday, Donald Trump is continuing to stoke the rumors that he will launch a presidential bid, this time as a possible Americans Elect candidate.
"Thousands of e-mails from folks urging me to seek the Americans Elect Presidential nomination," Trump tweeted from his @realDonaldTrump Twitter account Wednesday morning.
Americans Elect is the first online, independent presidential nominating convention that aims to gain ballot access in all 50 states. According to Elliot Ackerman, the group's chief operating officer, Americans Elect is not a third party , but a second way to nominate a presidential candidate.
They have already secured a spot on the 2012 general election ballot in 11 states, are waiting for confirmation on their submitted petition signatures in three states and are in the process of collecting signatures in 15 others. So far 2.1 million people across the country have signed the Americans Election petition in support of ballot access.

Obama’s trump card
Trump himself would likely pull GOP support...but Americans Elect leans HARD left from what I’ve seen, so it could be a wash, or net benefit for the GOP.
Obama’s trump card
I don’t know who has the bigger head, Trump or O’Reilly. In any event, I’m sick of both of them.
Exactly

Never trust a guy with a bad comb over.
The election of 1860 had four candidates, if my memory serves me.
Donald .... time to buy a vowel
We already have a circus and now the Donald wants to add another sideshow so the big eared clown can steal the show for another four years.
Michelle hurt the Donald’s feelings, along with all those other rascally Republicans who declined his debate. Now the Donald can get back to what he always intended, a third party run to help obama.
Dipped in TANG.
LOL
Can I finish?
Trump is selling books my fear is that the Obama Axie machine will win no matter who goes against Obama.The Voter ID laws alone with Holder now pushing it.

Instead of griping about whose favorite candidate did what and so on.Why don’t we do something as the GOP are rock stupid and could care less.We need a candidate. And Gingrich Im afraid is McCain with an encyclopedia.Don’t let the Obama trolls win. We are all on the same side.We will unite in the end.
“Americans Elect” is run by high level Democrat operatives, with a very thin veneer between it and George Soros’ money.
Trump will have to fight Bloomberg for the nomination and Bloomie is willing to spend as much as Donald Trump has.
