Well, I’m the opposite of the guy you’re looking for, but here it is;

Thank God America is awakening.

Donald Trump is ringing the bell, and the people are answering.

[those people are no longer “the GOP”]

Exactly, the GOPers will become the third party.

Just as an aside . . .
You think all the missing “W”’s and missing artwork was a petty thing when the Criminal Gang left THE PEOPLE’S White House a few years back?
Wait ‘til you see the mess the GOPe will leave behind in their departing wake of control over the Republican Party apparatus.
After Obambi’s gang walloped Boehner/McConnell and will be leaving the White Hut, Muzzies all over the place, BLM raising Cain, and the GOPe throwing their Sabos into the works, Republicans won’t have caused this much wreckage to America since Sherman’s March to the Sea.

We pray for a benevolent G_d.

The GOP is falling apart like a castle made of sand in the surf. If they should try to run 3rd Party to stop Trump they will shatter into GOPe and Tea Party. Folks, we are witnessing history. The political fabric of the nation is changing as we watch. NOTE: Now is the time for all good Patriots to keep a log —a daily journal of whats going on. As things change—this will be a good history of what happened. When your Grandchildren ask “What did you do in the War?” you can read to them how things went.

The Gope doesn’t have the balls to do it. Whomever does this is finished in politics, it would be treason. Goldwater didn’t do this, Reagan made the eleventh commandment, this would be the end of their support on capitol hill.

This would put them on the other side from the base religious, Tea, fiscal conservatives, Veterans.
We held out nose and voted for Romney and McCain. The Tea party voted back in the GOPe who they despise into the house and senate. If the GOPe does this they are PERSONA NON GRATA IN THE GOP. THEY MADE UP THE PLEDGE, NOW THEY MUST HONOR IT. YOU DANCE WITH THE PERSON YOU BROUGHT TO THE PARTY.

“Trump could run in BOTH the democrat AND republican primaries, and win them both.”

You know Trump running as a Democrat, with the same platform he has now, would have been VERY INTERESTING as he would have pulled over MILLIONS of Republican voters and possibly won that Primary.

Then it would be Trump versus Bush in November - very interesting, but not this time.

“Will losing 3% hurt us?”

I doubt we lose that much in the end. I expect those 3% would otherwise sit it out...so no real harm there.

I Agree, Jeb would be lucky to keep 20% of his remaining 3% when running as a third party.

Is there any reason a candidate cannot run in BOTH parties?

Sorry but I am afraid they do. They have done it before and do it frequently in lessor elections.
