Trump told reporters following a speech in Nashville Saturday that he's going to make a decision "very soon."
He says he thinks the decision will make a lot of people "very happy."
Trump has so far refused to pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee. He says it gives him leverage.

What a buffoon?
That’s what Obama and Mexico said. Interesting company ya got there italianquacker.
A 3rd party bid guarantees a Clinton win. Funny how history repeats itself..
"Is there anyone on stage—can I see hands—who is unwilling tonight to pledge your support to the eventual nominee of the Republican Party and pledge to not run an independent campaign against that person? Again, we’re looking for you to raise your hand now, raise your hand now if you won’t make that pledge tonight.”Only Trump raised his hand.
Do you remember the first debate?
Eventually there will be “Trump fatigue”, but the other candidates aren’t so hot.
if he could pull that off win two terms and his Vp take over and get this country back Id say he should be considered for Mount Rushmore the hair may be hard but oh well
Ok, I am the 26 pct that would never ever vote for Trump, but each his own
Feel free to vote Hillary or Bush.
Be my guest!
Because we know that even if Yeb doesn't run third party when Trump wins---and at this rate, he would win the GOP nomination by April---you know that NONE of these guys, except Carson and Cruz---would lift a finger to support Trump.
So the premise of the question is disgusting, and the fact that only one candidate was honest is even more disgusting.
Trump will string this out and play this game til he wins the nomination, then challenge the rest of these bozos to act like men and actually support him.
Right now, he would wrap up the delegates by April. He will win NH, IA, NV caucus, SC, NC, GA, FL, TX, AZ, MO, AL, and OR. He leads most of these by double-digits.
He has more money than any GOP candidate in history, and is only getting more by the day. He spends virtually nothing. His "war chest" is four or five times that of Hillary Clinton (who will be indicted or under such a legal cloud she can't win).
Trump has no need or reason to go third party, even if, as expected, the GOPe abandon him. He won't need them. It will be a joy to watch.
I am one of the 26 pctt who will not vote for the buffoon, thats all, thnx for your concern
Well, bye. Cause he’s going to be the nominee. He’s already setting up Cruz as either his Veep or Atty Gen. I’m betting he has already set up a spot for Jeff Sessions.
Ok
And the Trump knock on effect would be even greater if the GOP plays fast and loose with the rules.
He has, I sure, already inspired others to emulate David Brat of Virginia to challenge entrenched GOPe incumbents.
The Trumb effect could cascade down the ticket on a national level. This is what they really, really fear. All politics is local when the party central committee behaves as it has done in the past election and follow up GOP betrayal. RNC will become persona non grata on the campaign trail in 2016.
Should be interesting to observe who pops up to challenge them locally.
Fasten your seat belts, it’s going to be one helluva flight.
Not just that, but he needs to tell them that if they stack the deck against him, then all bets are off. No changing the rules on delegates, etc. to favor Yeb.
One race to watch will be Portman in OH. No one yet has come out against him, but he’s already trailing Strickland because of his shift on homosexual marriage and because he’s one of those guys who did absolutely NOTHING in the Senate to stop Obama.

History (and common sense) suggest that it will be the GOPe fielding a 3rd party candidate to throw the election to Hillary (or Biden).
Consider that if Trump does win the GOP nomination, he will be the first non-establishment backed candidate to do so since 1980. And how did the GOPe respond back then?
They assigned the RINO John Anderson to run 3rd party to throw the election to Jimmah Carter! Who at the time held the distinction of being the worst President in US History.
Fortunately, their plan failed only because the GOP candidate was so vastly superior to Carter and Anderson.
