Donald Trump is officially a man without a party. The real estate mogul whose flirtation with the 2012 presidential race has never really ended despite announcing seven months ago he would not seek the Republican nomination has been signaling he wants to find other ways onto a presidential ticket.
Trump took another step in that direction on Thursday, switching his party affiliation from Republican to unaffiliated, according to a source close to the reality television star.
According to the source, he did so because he is disgusted with the way Republicans are handling matters in Washington, including the recent payroll tax cut deal. But the move also sets Trump up for a potential third-party run for president a possibility he began talking about almost as soon as he told his fans in May he wasnt running.
Trump has sought to reach out to the group, Americans Elect, an online, independent presidential nominating organization that has already made it on the ballot in several states, including California.
Couple Donald Trumps name recognition with his extraordinary wealth and Americans Elect truly becomes a viable force in determining who the next president will be, Trumps top political adviser Michael Cohen told ABC News. One thing is for certain, Donald Trump is adamant that Barack Obama must be defeated in 2012 under any circumstances.
This is not the first time Trump has changed his party registration. He registered as a Republican in the late 1980′s, then switched to the Democratic Party in 2001 only to return to the GOP in 2009. Trump hinted at an independent bid for president as recently as last week.

How’s that hopey-changey thing working for you?

Z O T !

I’m betting Trump was part of Obama’s strategy from his first bit of BS about the Birth Certificate.
“Americans Elect” is run by prominent Democrat hacks, who are funded by George Soros.
Sounds about right for Trump.
>> “He was a trojan horse fraud from the start” <<
.
Yes!
Like I said before YOU are very angry....
Amazing more people, especially Freepers did not figure this out...a long time ago
Anybody with functioning brain cell should know Trump doesn't want to be POTUS. Why would he ???
Governing over a bunch of craven, feckless, gutless, criminals in Congress and a large part of the nation full of freeloaders, parasites and whiners
Plus having to deal with Iran, NK, China, the invented people, environmental wackos, progressive mental midgets.
Trump is the P.T.Barnum of today, being POTUS would cut into his game
.
Trump is being Trump
He gets free publicity and headlines and demands both parties kneel at his feet
Think of the mega millions the candidates, parties, pacs, corporations, and special interest groups spend while Trump simply releases a statement or position and is instantly wanted on every TV network

Rush discussed this on his show
Which primary candidates are professional bookwriters/booksellers?
Those books largely being composed of statements, ideas, agendas, so-called solutions from many people and groups
I prefer that FReepers do their own research and keep up with what is the story within the story
It is all too easy to have someone else tell you what you have missed
- Another point - What will your candidate look like and act like in 2 - 4 - 6 years from now?
Say in November 2016
Will your candidate be apologizing and saying “Well - I was wrong - But I have learned, changed, and I have really matured now!”
If you were actually a true conservative and a loyal Republican - Why would you deliberately include a chapter written by a radical liberal in your new yet-to-be released latest book?
I suggest you try GOOGLE and/or call/email El Rushbo

[Trump is being Trump]
Yep, egotistical and caring only about himself.
Can’t call him “good hair” though!
.
Fuuny thing is that Trump actually let a FNC morning co-host pull back his huge forward combed mop of hair
His hairline is like that of a teenager
But even that can be bought
The ‘orange’ coloring is scary!
.
I swear either I am totally dense or immune from the MSM indoctrination or my inner gut feeling still seems to be on the right track,
I suspected a Trump/Palin alliance though that is still up in the air at the moment, but I think its what America NEEDS, not that many WANT it.
I wish I had seen that, I always thought he was bald and combing all that hair forward! It takes an egomaniac to walk around with hair like that and ignore the snickers.
Someone posted the funniest gif of him with hair blowing, yesterday.
I am not into people hinting at what they know, and when I ask, they tell me to search etc. I’m too busy. If you don’t want to tell me, so be it.
.
Trump even emjoys using his weird hair as a weapons I believe
.
.
It took you longer to write and post your “I’m too busy” comment than it takes to find about the 2013 book on GOOGLE search
It may be something you do not want to hear or accept
Lots of that on FR these days
.
I could care less about what his hair does, I think he has the guts, the vision and the right motivation to stamp out Communism in all its various shades of dirty grey from our country.
I type very fast. I am too busy. It’s not that I don’t want to know.

Trump and Palin are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
You are right, kinda like ying and yang. I think the two would work nicely straightening up America, stomping socialim and reinstating the USA as a superpower.
