A new poll indicates that 68% of my supporters would vote for me if I departed the GOP & ran as an independent. https://t.co/ztP5d2ctZl — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 8, 2015

The two of them would be political Machiavellian geniuses.
And probably destroy the GOP as a viable party.

Trump will win as an indie. He’ll pull as many dems as repubs.
Trump’s indie win would end the GOP. That’s why they won’t force it.
GOPe would rather continue to exist - although they will be weakened greatly with a Trump or Cruz president. But if Trump goes indie and wins, the GOPe is gone the way of the whig.
Count me as one who vote for Trump as an Independant. Id rather see Hillary win than Jeb. Odds are the shtf would happen sooner.
Sadly the GOP would be fine with throwing the election to Hillary rather than lose their power and influence.
......the GOPe’s plan.
Let's Keep Calm, wait for the polls to come out.
Lets see if he reaches 45%
If it was Rubio..Hell yes im supporting Trump as an independent.Rubio will be no different than Hillary..might as well have the bitch president and let the country go down faster
Trump will win as an Independent.
I am looking forward to the GOPe-led Republican Party’s destruction this fall. It will be an utter and complete political bloodbath!!!

Even if that was a secret plan, It could backfire on Hillary Clinton. I see Donald Trump wining a 3 way race. I think he could easily take enough votes from both sides to win.
Remember he likes being unpredictable. He is calling them before they make a move.
Just know it’s the GOPe that is doing this.
So DO NOT REWARD THEM with your vote.
Not only that, if Trump is not on the ticket, I'm writing him in.
But if he runs as an independent, no one will ever convince me otherwise that this wasn't the plan all along to put Hillary in the White House.
Hillary is a criminal.
The thing I like about Trump is the list of people/groups he is pi%%ing off.
The “enemy of my enemy” etc.....
The GOP cares more about holding the House and Senate. Trump indie run would assure that.
I believe if Trump were excluded, it would depend on who the GOPe ran. If they nominated Bush another Rino, Trump would win in a 3 person race.
I do not believe Hillary has what is referred to as “fire in the belly”. She is running for President for reasons other than winning.
At her age the campaign (the little she is doing) is hard on her. We all know the duties of a President weights on a person (just look at before and after photos of previous office holders).
She has a lot of baggage, and she is not a very good speaker and she is not very likable.
But for me, the reason she will not win is simply because unlike Obama, she has a track record. The media was able to create fake persona for Obama, to make him something he is not, nor ever was. We all know who and what Hillary is. And I don’t believe she will win because it is time for a “woman President”, the nation went that way for the first “black” President and we can all see how that turned out.
I certainly do not believe Trump would be doing all this just to roll over for someone else.
I am not afraid of a third party as some are. It is way past time this nation had an opposition party because it certainly not the Republicans.
So this might actually play into their hand. Hope trump has a way to leverage it to his advantage so not to pull another Perot.
