Trump will win as an indie. He’ll pull as many dems as repubs.

Trump’s indie win would end the GOP. That’s why they won’t force it.

GOPe would rather continue to exist - although they will be weakened greatly with a Trump or Cruz president. But if Trump goes indie and wins, the GOPe is gone the way of the whig.

Why would TRUMP leave the Republican Party if he is on TOP the POLLS?

Let's Keep Calm, wait for the polls to come out.

Lets see if he reaches 45%

Exactly right.

You are 100% correct!!! If Donald Trump runs as an idependent he will win with a landslide victory...and in the process destroy both the GOP & Democrat Parties as they stand today!!! Both the GOP (e) & Democrat Parties led by American traitor, POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama have done nothing meaningful or measurable to protect, defend and keep the American nation and people safe from harm’s way!!! Take note of the hundreds of thousands of guns being purchased by average American citizens, these past few weks. That identifies a total failure of government (the politicians) to protect the people!!! GO DONALD TRUMP!!!

Donald Trump Rally, Thursday, evening, 12/10/2015, 7:45 PM, Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel, Convention Center, Portsmouth, New Hampshire - attend or, watch on live stream, CSpan or possible some Cable News Channels!!! Support Donald Trump!!!

Trump as an Indie will pull in a lot of the young voters who are always looking for a way to do things differently, or in a more ‘hip’ way, a little edgy. He’s got that going for him.

It appears to me that the GOPe is going through Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's five stages of grief (Wikipedia):

Denial - The first reaction is denial. In this stage individuals believe the diagnosis is somehow mistaken, and cling to a false, preferable reality.
Anger - When the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue, it becomes frustrated, especially at proximate individuals. Certain psychological responses of a person undergoing this phase would be: "Why me? It's not fair!"; "How can this happen to me?"; '"Who is to blame?"; "Why would this happen?".
Bargaining - The third stage involves the hope that the individual can avoid a cause of grief. Usually, the negotiation for an extended life is made in exchange for a reformed lifestyle. People facing less serious trauma can bargain or seek compromise.
Depression - "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die soon so what's the point?"; "I miss my loved one, why go on?" During the fourth stage, the individual becomes saddened by the mathematical probability of death. In this state, the individual may become silent, refuse visitors and spend much of the time mournful and sullen.
Acceptance - "It's going to be okay."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."; "Nothing is impossible." In this last stage, individuals embrace mortality or inevitable future, or that of a loved one, or other tragic event. People dying may precede the survivors in this state, which typically comes with a calm, retrospective view for the individual, and a stable condition of emotions.

Unfortunately, they're still somewhere between Denial and Anger.

If a 3rd party candidate doesn’t win a majority of the delegates, then the president will be from the Republican party which owns more states in Congress than does the democrat party. Each state gets one vote.

A third party candidate would have ZERO members of his party in congress.

Short radical reform, the GOPee is finished as a party. The rest is just timing.

Trump will win - he’ll be the Republican nominee. The Republican field will back him... some will hold their nose, but they’ll back Trump.

Maybe Lindsey Graham - a mean little piss ant won’t... but everyone else will keep their word.

That said, James Carville, George Soros and other dem moneybags will hire many trolls to push this idea. They’ll ‘flood the zone’ - working in groups - to troll this idea.

Have faith... the liars and paid scum will lose.

Your statement strikes upon a MAJOR truth.>p? Trump has everyone who does not support him very fearful.

I believe Trump will be even a BIGGER breath of fresh air for America than Reagan was.

As an “Independent”, he could get 39 percent and win like James Buckley did in NY in 1970.
