If Trump runs as an independent, Hillary will win the presidency.

I don’t know if he’s just dropping a little threat, or if he’s serious. We’ll see.

IIRC, he said he would stick with the Republican Party as long as it stuck with him (treated him the same as the other candidates).

I have read that the other Republican candidates and the media have plans to “take him out” at the next debate.

Like Iran , like the Democrat Party, the Republicans are planning on violating the terms of the agreement.

If Trump goes 3rd party then he will guaranty Hillary the White house. There was once another billionaire whose main role in history was making Hillary’s husband president.

As I recall it, Bill Clinton wouldn’t have been elected without Perot’s 3rd party run.

Perhaps you are too young to remember, or have a lapse in memory.

Clinton 43.0%
Bush 37.5%
Perot 18.9%

I don’t think one Perot vote would have Ever gone to Clinton.

Trump is a Dem, posing to the right of us conservatives in order to do the 2016 equivalent of Ross Perot.

Go back to you mom's basement and disconnect the internet. You are a pawn of the GOPE.

It would be appropriate to wait until the people elect him as the GOP party nominee, then dump the GOPe!

I find it hard to believe Trump is not aware the same would happen again.

Would it? This is a different time than 1992.

Hard to believe it would not happen (and Trump would still be elected) ????

Sure, but who believed a black unknown community organizer(commie front man) with a middle name of HUSSEIN could be elected as President ??????

Thinned Skinned? My God, after Trump agreed to sign the pledge, now some loser (Kasich) is going to take one for the GOPe team and partner up w/ two more losers’ campaigns (Bush and Rubio) to pile on and try to take out the front runner when together the three candidates don’t equal half of Trump’s numbers in the polls? They all suck so bad, who the hell will vote for them? I don’t blame Trump one bit, however I’d rather see him beat them at their own game and double down and declare war on them and the Dems. He will prevail and will have single handily change the future of the GOP.

Sorry, there aren’t that many FReepers.

That is because you believe what ever the msm tells you to believe. Bush is why clinton was elected POTUS.

“That’s mindless BS! Bush is why clinton was elected.”

Naw. It was because of Perot that we got Clinton.

But I don’t think anything about a Trump is analogous or comparable to Perot.

When that ridiculous demand was made from, hmm, Virginia I think, and one other state, Trump's response should have been, "you first". Now there's the self-described Republican John Kasich's Super PAC raising money to attack Trump, and the GOProud-associated Liz Mair's new PAC which is being organized to keep Republicans from voting at all.

You remember correctly!

Those who don’t remember are nothing more than willfully ignorant!!

If the GOP itself is putting their thumb on the scales and trying to knock him out, he SHOULD run third party. They are going too far, starting with their initial attempt to prevent him from being in the debates.
