Nope...that just plays into Democrat hands, since all of the money and half of the votes (the less-informed voters) will stay with the old party either because they don’t like Trump or because they’ll fall for the media savaging of Trump’s new party (loaded up with KKK/Nazi types, etc.). So we split down the middle and the Dems take full control of the country, as they did in 1992 when Perot pulled a huge number of Republicans away from Bush.

Trump, instead, needs to use his people to REFORM the Republican Party. He needs to direct them to Primary-Out existing Republican leaders (and he can, providing there are high quality alternatives). Then the big money will have to either go to the anti-business, hard-left Democrats, or the pro-business reformed Republican Party. My betting is that they’ll stay with us...same for our voters, the vast majority will stay with the Republican Party after being reformed.

I have to respectfully disagree. These are much different times than Ross Perot who I also supported - we have an extremely angry conservative base. My logic is what Billy Cunningham has been spouting as of late: Trump runs as I and might get 40% of his very loyal base; the R and the D split the remaining 60%. Trump wins.
