Democrats are paying or extorting him.

Yes.

There are two possibilities this election:

1) If you're a flaming leftist lunatic, take your pick from the democRAT ass-clown circus. They're all alike.

2) If you're not a flaming leftist lunatic, support Trump.

Blankenship will seek the nomination of the Constitution Party when it convenes next spring, Ballot Access News reported ... He reportedly disclosed his plans in October at the party’s national committee meeting in Pittsburgh.

When he wanted to run in the Senate race (he lost) the bulk of signatures on his petition were Demorats....

He likes to sue people when he loses or when he’s prevented from running.

His net worth is estimated at $40m. Even if he spent it all, it’s not enough to make a dent. In reality, I expect him to spend, at most, a few million. Also ran, and he’s not even started yet.

In light of what we KNOW the democrat/CPUSA(Communist Party USA) has done, (Their criminality exc..), and what they are planning to do, to our nation:

I consider this man's attempt to split the Republican vote, ensuring victory for the democrat/CPUSA-I consider this, TO BE AN ACT OF TREASON against our nation.

I hate to disagree with you, but, a whole lot of people are talking in the open about it and with the Local NEWS MEDIA about it.

I might agree with you though that it might wait till the election.

Question. What happens if/when they impeach the man? What happens if they convict him in the senate. And do not tell me that it will not happen. I do not trust a single one of them.

I once was smitten by these cowards but my eyes were opened when I heard them use my money to run ads against Bush, not Gore.. I was smart enough to know Bush was preferable to Gore. Now, I have disdain for all so-called “conservative” third-party candidates but Iove Greenies. Always vote straight Republican! ALWAYS!!!! They are too cowardly to run in a major party and actually win. They don’t want to win.

They’d “like” to win, but are too stupid and afraid to be called names by our “media” (whatever THAT is nowadays). Freaking grow a set, repukes, and throw it all back at the enemy, damn it! Trump has show them how to do it, but I guess the cocktail party invites are more important than this country.

Our dominant parties have failed, miserably, in leadership for a long time. I’m glad the Republicans didn’t nominate any of those other candidates in their 2016 debates. But candidate Trump didn’t come close to meeting my minimum standard for support, and his actions as President sure haven’t changed that. For example, his administration banned bump stocks. Does anyone here on FreeRepublic think that ban is consistent with the oath to support and defend the Constitution? I don’t begrudge folks having different minimum standards for supporting candidates than I have. In 2008, I helped raise up a candidate who did meet my standard - Dr. Alan Keyes. Volunteers did what it took to make it so that votes for Dr Keyes would count in enough states to win the Electoral College. We did the same thing in 2012 to raise up Tom Hoefling for President. We tried again in 2016, and maybe we’ll try again in 2020.
