That has definitely been a fear of mine.
Unconstitutional.
He still could if his purpose was not to win but to get back at the republican establishment - and that’s what the repubs are afraid of, not that he would win.
If he wins the Republican nomination is the GOPe going to run a third party candidate?
REAKING!!!!!
That’s why someone like Don Trump has a battalion of lawyers.
With 17 candidates in the field, Donald Trump could be the kingmaker if nobody gets a majority of delegates going into the convention. He alone could decide who gets the nomination even if it isn’t him.
If its Bush, whatever. Any other candidate is better than Hilldog though.
The Republicans in my state (Ohio) have toyed with a law tht would not allow 3rd party candidates on the ballot, but, have never sent it to Kasich. More GOPe tactics at work.
D.U. is really busy these days!
Texas has that law too
it is indeed reaking. welcome, president hillary clinton.
I don’t think Trump ever had any intention of doing the third party thing ... it was just something to scare the moderates in the party with so they would back off of criticizing him.
I also don’t think he will end up as the nominee but it’s been a fun ride.
My first thought - unconstitutional.
So if a candidate runs on one ticket, then gets asked to run as representative of another party, this law would prevent that?
I can’t count the number of ways that this shreds the constitution.
That is a bunch of BS.
The GOPe is maybe even more corrupt than the democrats. I have realized that these thugs are capable of doing most anything after what they did to Chris McDaniel in Mississippi.
We might be better off if we didn’t have a democrat or republican win.
Good news, but it won’t stop a Trump 3rd Party run.
If Trump runs 3rd party, he knows he has zero chance of winning. He would be running to guarantee victory for his dear friend, wedding guest, and fellow elitist New York Liberal, Hillary Clinton. At least he won’t be able to help her in Ohio.
The fix is in in Ohio. A RepublicRAT regardless of who wins.
IF he wins the nomination, the GOPe will have no other choice but to support the RAT nominee in order to perserve their precious elitle status quo in DC. It will result in the total destruction of the party which may not be such a bad thing considering it’s present direction.
