This report should make Donald Trump supporters angry! While taxpayers are often funding political debates, the Republican Party has the ultimate say over its own events. And while the GOP is supposed to stand for the principles of the Founding Fathers, it can be manipulated by the political establishment which can’t stand Trump’s conservative views.
The real reason why the GOP is focusing on Trump’s threat to run as a 3rd party candidate is it would give them grounds to boot him from future debates. The Republican Party, to protect its interests, is probably willing to boot the front-runner candidate. And they have savvy enough operatives, such as Karl Rove, who are ready to do it…

Oh, I dunno. During the GWB presidency, "Rove, you magnificent bastard!" was pretty much a Freeper cliche.
As a Cruz supporter this pisses me off. Trump is in the lead in every poll, he deserves to be in the debates.
“Then Trump goes 3rd party and we get HRC as POTUS?
You are assuming that Hillary will be the democrat candidate. That is starting to look like a long shot. She has accumulated too much baggage, on many levels.
Exactly. I can just imagine how the networks would respond. They know that having Trump included is the only way they would get the ratings FOX got.
They may even offer him free time to respond just for the ratings.

what the Voter wants, they'll fight against Americans.
How far into the gutter has the GOP fallen? They've been taken over by Democrats
and are falling into lockstep with their National Socialist agenda.
Because he won! AND becuase he hurts the commentators feelings and he puts the rest of the liars in the “deer in the headlights” mode
I don't know about that. Some on the left might actually see him in a more favorable light if he didn't have a (R) after his name.
Well, here we are. Nothing they've done has caused the outcome they
wanted, like riots in the streets and violence. They will continue to up
the ante until they get their Military in the streets and marshal law.
Untested waters. Very dangerous, unfortunately.
This article looks like a website trying to find hits.
Gee, why does that surprise me they can not even look at their history and realize rinos always lose in the general election that only conservatives or those running as conservatives win.
If the ever-lying, self-EXEMPT GOP wants ANY votes,
they must defend Trump - and go after Obama.
Data collection from spying on our own citizens. They are owned by the democrats who run all those agencies. Winning the presidency is a very big deal from here on out.
