During the 1992 election, Texas billionaire Ross Perot managed to get on the ballot as an independent presidential candidate in all 50 states and garnered 19 percent of the vote. It was a remarkable feat that — in the eyes of some Republicans, including President George H.W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush — tipped the election to Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton.
Keep in mind, that percentage of voters chose the third-party candidate even after it was reported that Perot, who loved conspiracies, claimed he saw five men with rifles on his front lawn and, later, that the Bush campaign tried to ruin his daughter’s wedding. Had he not made such outlandish claims, his percentage of the electorate might have been much higher.

Who is this “we” you speak of? You speak for no one but your easily manipulated self. The only baggage Trump carries is what has been created by corrupt politicians and their lapdog msm.
You should “STFU” yourself.
Trump will not run as 3rd party. He is favored by a big majority of GOP voters. This writer is throwing out BS.
The Hill’s getting desperate.
Just more of the olden "divide & conquer" strategy...
Liberal FUD at it’s finest.
Any smart guy like Trump realizes that Perot produced a Clintonian plurality win in the vote count and a blowout in the electoral count.
“They are trolling Trump to go 3rd party.”
***************************************
Or trolling the small minority of morons amongst us who would love to breakaway into yet another LOSERTARIAN party to help the DemocRATS win elections.
Ifinnegan, wipe the foam from your lips and keep your vile mouth to yourself or I’ll report you for abuse. Simpleton
Astroturf...
Right, like a General George B. McClellan who would have passed your litmus test of social grace standards.
Unlike that drunk whiskey-drinking cussing disgrace Colonel Ulysses S. Grant.
Nice try ‘Hill’ but NO
There, fixed it.
Jo, you don’t know the first thing about me. I agree that the baggage has been created by the swamp and their allies in the media. Does that make the baggage any less heavy to carry?
“Ifinnegan, wipe the foam from your lips and keep your vile mouth to yourself or I’ll report you for abuse. Simpleton”
You are the one who wrote it. I quoted you and your dirty mouth.
You are anti-Trump, you’re no different than Coulter, other than she’s smarter and writes better than you.
Sheer speculation by uninformed people. Donald Trump has no NEED to form a third party, and in fact, it is much more likely that a rump representation of RINO’s would form a breakaway splinter party, calling themselves the “Progressive Republicans” or something similar.
Mike Pence is the likely figurehead to be put at the helm, and the never-Trumpers would flock to that banner. Their misjudgment as to their actual numbers is much overestimated, and they shall sink quietly, much like the Whigs of the first half of the 19th Century. Perhaps to rejoin the Democrats, but who knows. The Democrat Socialists would not have them in the same room.
“You are insane.”

What?? You mean to say you don’t believe the Democrats are secretly wishing to vote for Trump as a third party candidate??
More like The Hole than the hill
This is a Democrat wet dream.
Wishful thinking.
Oh, ya mean like what ye get with seasoned and polished lawyers turned career politicians with their ivy league decorum, who deliver pleasing polite, official sounding bull shit and lies decade after decade?
BULL SHIT!
