What these naysayers haven’t thought of is, they’ll have better luck at fighting Trump AFTER he’s elected than they do now.

Trump...he wrote the letter...

There may be a back story I’m not aware of that caused him to write it...

At face value it’s juvenile...>>> trump is juvenile but i would bet that trump offered him advice and he declined.

Why do they call them “neverTrumps” when in fact they are people trying to ensure Hillarys victory? These treasonists can run whoever the F they want, it ain’t going to make a bit of difference, Trump will still win. People are sick to death of enemies of this country running things, that is the bottom line. 8 years of an Islamic enemy agent as President is quite enough thank you, we don’t need one of the most corrupt politicians in US history next hammering in the final nail.

They think Donald Trump is a bombastic blowhard, so for their 3rd party attempt they want to recruit Mark Cuban (!)

....

They don’t want Cuban to win. They want Trump to lose.

Under Hillary, their crooked schemes can continue.

They don’t expect or want Mark to win. They want Donald to lose to Hillary.

“I thought it was too late to get on the ballots for the general.”

I don’t think someone has to be on a ballot to become the nominee. All it takes is for dirty tricks to occur at the GOP Convention, where a nominee can be selected, anointed, whatever. That’s why they’ve been kicking around the names of Romney and Ryan.

“Actually, I believe these people (the elites) are so detached from the reality of average Americans that they cannot grasp or fathom why we support him. They live in a completely different world.”

That's likely true, but they also are acting this way because he's a huge threat to their egos and their stature. This is also why many on the left also hate him.

He has exposed the fact that politics is peppered with people who are impressed with themselves but who are not that impressive. He exposes this, and ridicules them. I don't like or believe in ridicule in principle, but they've earned this ridicule because of their arrogance and their willingness to ignore the effects of what they do on the people they are supposed to be serving. Many if not most of them truly think they are ‘special’, and better than the rest of us. Trump essentially tells them they're incompetent, and even calls them clowns.

This move to try to run a third party candidate flies in the face of the voters, and they're doing this because they are childishly angry that they aren't getting their way. It's really no different from Obama using executive orders to ‘get his way’, or Jonathan Gruber alluding to fooling the people about the health care bill, or Pelosi admonishing that ‘we have to pass it so that we can see what's in it’ in her attempt to push through a bill that has raised expenses for health insurance dramatically for a great many Americans and threatens to end much of what has bee good about health care in America. This is the arrogance of those who in their delusional grandiosity think that you have to actually be talented and smart to be in politics.

What they’re “succeeding” at is convincing ever more US citizens that Trump is the one person who can’t be bought.

Mark Cuban isn’t remotely qualified to shine Trump’s shoes. What’s with this Romney and the rest of them? Seriously? Cruz too. Really an embarrassment that we were taken all these years by these people including the Bush family.

Mediocrity, pure mediocrity.
