Does anyone here really think Trump wants to be POTUS and actually govern this country? His “interviews” on substantive matters are a joke. It’s all about him. He has no core beliefs and hasn’t thought thru these positions in order to make coherent responses.

But at least one prominent Republican figure is starting to worry that Trump could end up on the general-election ballot in another way: by running as a third party candidate. At a meeting of Republican strategists and lobbyists reported by the New York Times on Thursday, former Republican congressman Thomas Davis raised the possibility that Trump could play spoiler as a third-party candidate. “You’ve got to keep him in the...
