This is a brilliant negotiation tactic, especially when he’s trying to represent a silent majority against GOPe and uni-party forces. The ONLY leverage he has to make sure they give him and primary voters a fair opportunity for their support to be heard (i.e, not locking him out of debates, giving him access to the voter databases that all other Republican candidates get) is this dead man’s trigger, so to speak. He holds all the cards and can ensure that no GOP nominee wins the presidency, and he’s rightly using it to make sure he gets a fair fight.

Without this leverage, you’d better believe GOPe would find a way to stifle his chances.

Your in-a-nutshell analysis (of Trump's brilliant strategery) is the best posted here since Trump let Prince Rebus-e know that he (Donald) is holding the big trump card.

I'd like to see him negotiating in the ayatollah's office in Iran (or, rather, in the Trump Tower penthouse....only a fool wouldn't know that the meetings definitely would be on Trump's turf, not the dictator's, hah).
