Donald Trump Floats Idea of a Third-Party Run Again
ABC News ^ | Feb 15, 2016 | BRAD MIELKE

Posted on 02/15/2016 12:48:15 PM PST by justlittleoleme

At a town hall today in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, Donald Trump floated the idea -- without explicitly threatening to do so -- that he may run as an independent candidate.

Trump attacked the Republican National Committee, saying it "better get its act together" and it "does a terrible job." Trump said he believes the RNC treated him unfairly.

Trump also went off on the crowd that booed him during Saturday night's GOP debate in South Carolina: "Look at it, that was a wealthy room."

"The whole room was made of special interests and donors, which is a disgrace from the RNC," Trump said. "The RNC better get its act together because, you know, I signed a pledge. The pledge isn’t being honored by the RNC."

Trump signed an RNC pledge in September, agreeing not to run a third-party candidacy and to support the eventual Republican nominee.

"I signed a pledge, but it’s a double-edged pledge. As far as I’m concerned, they’re in default on their pledge," Trump said of the RNC.

Trump also spent several minutes hitting Sen. Ted Cruz on dirty campaign tactics, calling him the most dishonest guy in politics he’s ever met.

He’s criticized Cruz “holding up the Bible,” and says he’s beating Cruz when it comes to evangelical voters.

I seriously doubt that now. I think at one time, he might have been - but not now. Cruz isn’t to be trusted. Cruz must have been the model for the “House of Cards,” character.

You (and your ilk) joined within the last 6 months to say this crap. We see right thru you...paid troll.

I know it pleases your Democrat masters, but you trolls don’t get to ask for the destruction of the Republican party.

Sick and tired of all these newbie, paid trolls (aka Trumpsters, Trumpets, Trumpaholics, Trumpbots) on FR.

-— Someone told me Trump’s a pussy.

Now, I’m NOT saying that. Just repeating what I heard, okay?


Go ahead and say it. I wouldn’t say it. But go ahead and say that word.

I can see how a delusional Cruz supporter might assume the troll part. Unfortunately, I do not get paid for posting. I should though. The wisdom I provide should come with a charge. In fact, you owe me $5 for this post.

“Trump said he believes the RNC treated him unfairly.”

Specifically what has the RNC done that was “unfair” to The Donald? Didn’t have a majority of Trump supporters at the debate? Did they favor Cruz with more than Trump? I doubt it. What a crybaby, I’m going to take my ball and go home. Trump is not only immature I believe he’s mentally unstable to the point of being dangerous to the country and Constitution if he were to be elected.

I decided some time ago that the Donald only cares about Donald.

That would suggest you believe those 100% bankrolled by corrupt insider special interest and lobbyist care about you.

Hard to believe anyone could be this ignorant.

Let me get this straight. If conservative Cruz wins the GOP nomination over RINO Trump, you think conservative voters should throw their votes to a 3rd party Trump nomination and let Hillary waltz in to the Presidency? That makes ZERO SENSE whatsoever, unless you are a liberal who wants a Hillary Presidency. Also, how exactly would that be sticking it to the GOP-e? They despise Cruz.

“Of, except he likes to cheat on his spouses so I guess infants don’t do that.”

Well, infants will suck on any teat you put in front of them.
