Why should any party accept blackmail? Trump, nor does anyone else, have some constitutional right to join a political party and use it’s infrastructure to run for office. Trump can run as a 3rd party right now, or join one of the countless existing ones (50+).
Trump should just go independent. Let him spend his money creating a new party and getting on the ballot wherever he can. The man doesn’t have the discipline or temperament to last through a whole campaign anyway. The Republicans should just call his bluff. That alone will cause him to go into a twitter rage and spent countless hours rage tweeting that this person and that are “dummies”, “stupid”, etc.
He is a bigger problem distracting from the GOP’s nominating process than he would be as a 3rd party bid. Without him real conservatives like Ted Cruz would get more traction.
LOL
Yes, and Alice in Wonderland is simply a real life accounting of a real life event.
Cruz at best has to defeat the early primary system that since 1996 has prevented any Conservative candidate from getting the Republican nomination.
You have chosen to look at this from the Republican point of view. You presented it somewhat decently. Do you think a candidate should have rights at all?
What if Trump goes to a Republican debate and they deny him participation? Should they then be able to say, “Well, just too late. You already decided you were one of us, and we don’t want you.”
Shouldn’t he have recourse? According to your comments, it appears you don’t think so.
I disagree.
