The vast majority of Freepers disagree with you.

For better or for worse, Trump will be our party’s nominee.

Whether he wins or loses in November will be by the good grace of the American people.

“Whether he wins or loses in November will be by the good grace of the American people.”

If Trump is the nominee expect a third party run by a moderate To liberal individual with nation name recognition whose sole objective will be to earn 5% of the vote in a few key states. These votes will swing the election from Trump to Hillary, just as Ross Perot earned enough GOP votes to put Bill Clinton in office in 1992 and 1996. it doesn’t take many votes to accomplish this objective. Ralph Nader’s few thousand votes in Florida in 2000 were more than enough to swing Florida to Bush, giving Bush the electoral vote win in a year when Gore beat him nationally in the popular vote.

Who will the spoiler be? Bloomberg, Romney, Kasich, Rubio?

The other deciding factor could be the ground game. The RNC, if it wants Trump to lose, may decide to focus its resources on the close Senate races forcing Trump to decide if he will build an expensive ground organization for the general election or try to do without one. Hillary will have a powerful ground organization and if a self funding Trump chooses not to create one the bus loads of Democrat voters could make the difference.
