That seals it for me, if Trump was really in the race for America’s interests, as he claims, and not for himself, he wouldn’t even countenance running third party.

If he runs third party I’ll vote for Cruz or Walker, true conservatives, sad to say, it probably won’t do any good with Trump splitting the vote, it will probably put Hillary in there. If he goes third party, under no circumstances will I be voting for this fraud.

Given your description of him as "a fraud", do you really expect to people to believe you would vote for him under any circumstances. And just remember, contrary to the conventional wisdom, the Perot run in 92 did not prove that a 3rd party candidate couldn't win. In fact, it proved the opposite. Prior to pulling out, he had at least a 1 in 3 chance of winning, and that is a conservative estimate. He was within a stone's throw of being the clear favorite, when he backed out. So the Perot candidacy did not prove the futility of a 3rd party candidacy, anymore than it proved that a 3rd party candidacy hands the election to the democrats.

What the Perot candidacy proved was that a 3rd party candidacy that taps into the simmering anti-DC sentiment will probably win, unless, as in Perot's case, the man leading it turns out to be crazier than the uncle living in the attic. Which is not a possibility, with Trump.

Well instead of jumping to conclusions because some rag says this or that, why don’t we just wait and see what happens.
