Really. The GOP would rather see the Democrats in power than have Bush lose to Trump. Cut off nose; spite face.

Remember that the republican Establishment did this before, in 1980 with John Anderson.
What Establishment? Reagan had the party behind him when he ran, Chafee, Jeffords, Specter, Hatfield, and the rest.
Anderson was a quixotic outrider who got more support from Democrats and Independents than Republicans, let along elected Republican officials.

Are they smoking crack?! TRUMP WOULD WIN IN A LANDSLIDE!
To: cotton1706
Mark McKinnon already floated this brain-dead idea a week ago. Me thinks he's angling for a consultant fee (aka the usual GOPE "protection racket") from Trump.
Or, how about this wild scenario: Trump actually starts to get enough delegates to win the nomination. Then, irony of ironies, rather than Trump running as a third party, the GOP establishment decides to pull a Roosevelt, and re-creates the Republican Party under an independent banner.

Donald signed the ‘Loyalty Oath’, but it is an invalid contract, and always has been. Look at the bottom of that ‘contract’ to our right. What date is there? Why, it’s August 3, 2015, and guess what? the actual date this was signed was September 3, 2015.
Trump, a businessman, had to know this.
This point is never brought up.

I have resisted Third Party. I understand the pitfalls. They do this. and I sever all ties to the GOP. They can join the ranks of the Whigs and the Federalists. They want loyalty and then pull this? I will burn my registration card.

The GOP is hell bent on forcing some RINO they can control down the throats of the electorate. If they run Romney it will only confirm (again) their Washington Cartel complicity.

If true, this proves they are less concerned with winning than the possible upsetting of the gravy train.It was proven DECADES AGO.

Sarah Palin got more votes for President
They sure weren't voting for McCain
He couldn't get 100 people at a campaign event before Palin
