This report should make Donald Trump supporters angry! While taxpayers are often funding political debates, the Republican Party has the ultimate say over its own events. And while the GOP is supposed to stand for the principles of the Founding Fathers, it can be manipulated by the political establishment which can’t stand Trump’s conservative views.
The real reason why the GOP is focusing on Trump’s threat to run as a 3rd party candidate is it would give them grounds to boot him from future debates. The Republican Party, to protect its interests, is probably willing to boot the front-runner candidate. And they have savvy enough operatives, such as Karl Rove, who are ready to do it…

I’m no fan of Trump, but that’s really screwed up.
Trump can buy TV time and hold his own debate and invite whomever he pleases to participate.
That would be like setting off a nuke in the party...
I’d be amazed if they tried it... It won’t go the way they think if they do...
I'm no fan of Trump either. But if true, this is incredibly stupid.
Well, no one ever accused Rove of being intelligent.
Trump should announce he will hold an online streaming reply to any televised debate. He will answer the questions in real time and he will offer comment and ridicule the moderators who choose to ask idiotic questions. I bet a Trump online broadcast would outdraw the televised version.
The storm that would follow will be unreal.
He could, if it happens it will be interesting to see which network he will buy the airtime from.
Would be funny to see it on MSNBC.
Here is the political, cyanide-tainted grape FlavorAid the GOPe appears to be considering serving up:
a.) ban Donald Trump from all future debates.
b.) royally piss off a major portion of voters.
c.) force Donald Trump to run third party.
d.) death of the GOP when Trump wins the general election.
There hasn’t been a third party campaign that actually won any states and electoral votes since George Wallace and Curtis LeMay on the American Independent ticket in ‘68 (which ironically put Nixon in the White House), but if anyone could do it, Trump could do it.
Donald Trump should form his OWN party, call it the ‘New Reagan-Republican Party’ and I’m willing to bet there are more than just a few conservative GOP Senators, Congressmen and Governors who might join up.
And if Trump’s new party were to receive endorsement from Sarah Palin?
Game over for Priebus, Rove and the rest of their despicable RINO-slime.
Al Sharpton as moderator? lol!
Seems to me that the GOP are a bunch of mother cluckers.
They would become the whigs2015 party very quickly.
They would never recover.
Karl Rove, your are Fired! :)
What third party exists now? They’d all be second parties since the GOP wing of the Uniparty has demonstrated one-party rule with the Dems.
Furthermore, he’d probably draw 30 million or more viewers while the GOP debate would be lucky to get 3 million.
If they do that, that will be the end of their Republican Party. And that’s not an exaggeration.
