“And here’s a check for one million dollars to get the ball rolling.” Right?
By the time the convention rolls around, it will be too late to launch an independent campaign. He would have more missed the filing deadlines in many states. Plus, as mentioned, no way he really wants to spend his own money. At least not as much as it would take to run a fall campaign. His little adventure has gone much further than he anticipated. Best case for Trump is he loses the nomination and can spend the rest of his life claiming the presidency was stolen from him.
Might as well. He can’t split the Republican base any more than he already has. So do it already.
Heck yes! Let the republicans fall into the abyss.
There is no way I am voting for anyone else if Trump has the most votes overall. This is not Stalin’s Russia.
Ping!

I don’t want Trump to go 3rd party or Independent.
I want him to fight the corrupt GOPE with all his might.
If he loses, he should simply thank his supporters, announce he’ll do no more interviews, not endorse any candidates, and return to his businesses.
His absence will speak volumes. The GOPE will choke on their POS nominee as Trump supporters stay home.
I encourage all Trumpbots to encourage Trump to go run 3rd party. That would be about as well thought out as his run as a Republican.

“Hi, I’m Carl Paladino. I’m here to talk to you about John Kasich. The Ohio version of Andrew Cuomo, Paladino began.
I very badly want the GOP to be burned to the ground. GO TRUMP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
If I remember correctly, Paladino got royally scrood by the GOPe and the state party bosses.
Mr. Paladino knows whereof he speaks!
It would not matter if he does run as a 3rd party candidate. Anybody else on the Republican ticket and Hillary will be the winner.
