I’m becoming more and more convinced that Trump has been planning to go independent from the beginning.
Trump is on a lark. He didn’t expect to be taken near this seriously by so many people and really doesn’t know what to do next. But so long as the MSM will keep shoving mics in front of his face, he’ll keep sticking his foot in his mouth on a daily basis.
Obviously the Trump adorers who used to be GOP voters have no problem with him going third party, and also appear to have no problem with the fact that the Dems are trying to paint Trump as the typical conservative (wonder why?), so it would appear to me that said voters have every intention of leaving the GOP to vote for Trump should that become necessary.
Assuming that to be the case, why should we listen to them when it comes to choosing the GOP nominee? They’re going to leave anyway if they don’t get their way, right along with Trump. He’s obviously a “take my ball and go home when I don’t get my way” sort of guy, but I had no idea so many conservatives were the same sort.
The GOP should “disinvite” Trump from the next debate and let the chips fall where they may. He’ll flail around, let the spittle fly in all directions, and probably take 5% of the GOP voters with him, but at least then we’d be rid of Hillary’s stalking horse and can get back to deciding which of a dozen or more excellent candidates should be the GOP nominee.
