"“In many ways my Republican Party left me,” Trillo said. “I have been a Trump Republican since he announced in 2015. If you look at his policies and what he has been able to accomplish so far, he is turning this country around. I want to bring those issues to this state and turn this state around.”

This genius must have missed the face that Rhode Island has elected Republican Governora before with his "I will need Democratic support." reasoning. "Conservative" democrats voted for those Republican Governors.

As for Trump, he won, as a Republican, Joe, with the support of many erstwhile democrats. If he had run as an independent Hillary Clinton would be President.

He also won the nomination without the support of party leaders, it seems like you aren't man enough to even try that, you're too afraid to go against a guy named Allan Fung, so instead you will help the unpopular democrat incumbent win reelection with a plurality.

So lame. What an egomaniac.

I believe he knows that the RIGOP want Alan Fong, who is OK, but no Conservative. The elites want their candidate, so Trillo decided to go Independent. I believe he can win, and RI could be better.

He needs to run in the GOP primary. This stunt will only allow the massively unpopular Raimondo to get a second term with a minority of the vote.

RI is massively corrupt. Was this guy bought off?
