Maybe so. But if that happens DT will “take down” the GOP with a 3rd party run;he’ll have a gimmick VP pick to stir interest.

The GOP is screwed, and hopefully the democrat party too.

If Donald wanted to run third party, he would have to decide before Iowa. Most states now have laws or filing deadlines set up specifically to prevent someone from running in the primary and then running in the general as an independent. By the time Iowa votes, enough of the filing deadlines have passed that a candidate that had already filed for the stated available at that point would be excluded from too many states in the general to get to 270 EC, even if they swept all of the states they COULD enter.

All Trump has to do is name Kim Kardashian or LeBron James as VP, and the low-infos will crawl through minefields and broken glass to vote for them.

Such is the state of the American Idiocracy now.
