My prediction was apparently correct. I posted on this last night,

Watch and see, the debate may not have gone as well as many of us would have liked, the moderators were far from fair, and did everything they could to bring Trump down, and he will still come out ahead, watch the polls next week and see.

Every time they attack Trump he comes out with more support. The debate was nothing more than an attack Trump party. Kelly was just on Media Buzz defending herself, she did ok but it was clear it was an all out attack on Trump, nothing more. She claimed they were just trying to give the candidates a chance to defend their own weak points...yeah right...
Brett Baer is on right now saying they didn’t know who would or would not raise their hand...BULL...they knew quite well Trump was the only one likely to run 3rd party, and he is not the one who suggested it. He has not ruled it out, but it was never his idea. I think he’s right. The establishment is doing all they can to knock him out of the race, and it’s very unlikely he will get the nomination, even if popular opinion is on his side. They want Bush and will stop at nothing to get it. If Bush does get the nod, expect a 3rd party run.
Thing is, Trump was honest about it. Who else would have done that?
OK yeah I’m rambling all over the place now but I’m trying to get some of the people on here to realize there is a good possibility Trump might end up running 3rd party if the establishment keeps up their attempt at bulldozing him right out of the Republican ticket. He won’t back down, they should know that. It seems by now they should realize the consistent attacks only get him more support.
If Trump does run 3rd party, we need to start seriously considering that possibility, and we need to realize he can do it, if he gets enough support. Why? He’s pulling voters from everywhere because Republicans are not the only ones sick of the status quo in DC. No matter what party they usually support, people are sick of politicians lying to them to get elected then turning their backs on the people and going to work for corporate donors and special interest groups. Trump is saying what they have been thinking for a long time. People like that...
That’s why his poll numbers are constantly rising, it’s not just Republicans taking notice..
The “debate” was totally unfair, and not only to Trump. Cruz was ignored for almost an hour. I’m not surprised at all Trump seems to be still getting good poll numbers. That’s what has always happened every time he’s been attacked.
I think people should give some serious considerations to their fear of a third party. I know that every third party has been founded for this reason, and has usually failed, HOWEVER, a third party would give both Republicans and Democrats permission to vote for Trump.
There are probably many Republicans who would never vote for a Democrat and many Democrats/Independents/Libertarians who would never vote for a Republican......but they ALL might be willing to vote for a third party that represented a fresh start, a party dedicated to Americans working together for the good of the country and leaving the bitterness and hostility aside. I know this sounds unrealistic in the extreme, but think of what an effect this could have on the malaise this country is in.
