A lot of people need to realize if Trump decides to go 3rd party, always a possibility especially if they keep pulling stupid crap like the disinvite from the Red State Convention, a 3rd party run does not automatically throw the election to Hillary.

1. Hillary is sliding into oblivion, if you haven’t noticed. Right now she’s headed into a courtroom to face the possibility of perjury charges, the outcome of that court appointment might have a detrimental affect on her run for prez, even if she’s not in jail before the day’s over. Also, her support is dwindling almost daily, and unfavorable ratings increasing almost daily. In short, people just don’t trust her, more of them all the time.

2. Trump is pulling a lot of votes from both Democrats and Independents. This is not a typical situation involving a typical politician. Trump threw the rule book out the door before he even started. You can’t predict what will happen based on what you know from previous elections. That’s why all the stuffed suits who have said Trump is doomed have been proven wrong repeatedly. His initial announcement comments didn’t do it, McCain comments didn’t do it...in fact every time he’s been attacked he has gotten more popularity out of it.

Watch and see, the debate may not have gone as well as many of us would have liked, the moderators were far from fair, and did everything they could to bring Trump down, and he will still come out ahead, watch the polls next week and see.

Now think about that 3rd party run idea. I’m already seeing in the comments section of news websites, people saying this might be their first time to vote Republican. Democrats saying they might vote for Trump. Many Republicans or conservatives saying they support either Trump or Cruz or both.

I think the 3rd party idea is not a deal breaker. If Trump does it, I think he can pull it off. The way things are going, I see a good chance of a 3rd party run and I don’t blame him at all. The GOP establishment doesn’t seem to be listening. They tried to shut him down in the debates, pulled the invite to this convention, what’s next?

But don’t be so pessimistic about the 3rd party run idea. Remember, Trump has a reputation for doing what he says he will do. He’s also getting a ton of attention with the public, and I think a lot of people who would normally be paying no attention to the presidential race are already taking notice. People telling their friends what’s going on, they start watching...he’s pulling democrats and independents, and I’m pretty sure he’s getting the attention of people who normally barely even notice the elections.

So we’d better start being a lot more optimistic about a 3rd party option. I think he can do it, if he chooses to try.

Trump/Cruz Independent...better think about that...I say if he does, support the hell out of it. If we don’t, it’s sure to flop.
