Donald Trump — meet Kyrsten Sinema.
Sen. Sinema (I-Ariz.) recently departed the Democratic Party to become an independent.
If Trump follows her lead and runs for president as an independent he instantly launches the most consequential third-party candidacy in American history.
Think about it.
Polls now show GOP voters increasingly rejecting the disgraced ex-president as the party’s 2024 nominee.
If Republicans turn on him, is there any doubt the notoriously thin-skinned Trump will soon start threatening a run as an independent to spite his former party?
A third-party platform allows him to stay in the media spotlight and continue to raise money off his shrinking base of gullible supporters.
It is all about him. Always has been. Always will be.

fixed it
The JoeTatoe will get 230 million "votes" in 2024.
Because cardboard cutout.
“Williams continues to be as dumb as a box of rocks.”
That’s rockist!
Trump running as 3rd party 100% would guarantee a liberal winning, any liberal.
Jeebus.
“Trump running as 3rd party 100% would guarantee a liberal winning, any liberal.”
In a three way race, Trumps wins and more than likely causes a far left AOC or Sanders to also run as an independent.
Three way or four way race, Trump wins.
I wondered where old whacko Juan got to. He will say anything opposite of what a Conservative says just to get his 2 minutes worth of publicity.
I think Trump could win as a third party candidate. Clinton won with 42% of the vote. Trump could get that. Screw the RINOs.
So did Teddy Roosevelt.
The leftwinger whipped his ass
Perot ran against Bush for purely personal reasons. When Bush was VP Perot wanted a big Federal government contract (I forget which agency!) he expected the VP Bush to get in for him - LBJ would have! Perot has resented that ever since. Remember his weird explanation for dropping out then jumping back in. He never really wanted the job. He just wanted a chance to screw Bush in 1992 and he got it.
A new party is the only hope. The Republican party is worse than useless, it is complicit in the ongoing destruction.
The Biden needs a divided party opposing him .
Juan is just voicing the Democrat wet dream.
Exactly, we have a one party system, Democrats and everyone else that helps the Democrats.
I’m not voting for Republicrats or Dempublicans, period.
You wish juan,
You and the Rinos.
We ain’t goin nowhere buddy.
We are going to root out these liarcrats in drag in the Republican party.
Spit.
Including the entire Democratic party. They'd be thrilled.
So was Perot trying to screw Dole in 1996?
Clintoon probably would have won reelection in '96 anyway, getting 49.2% of the popular vote compared to Dole's 40.7% and Perot's 8.4%.
But we can also go back to Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party presidential run to see that the phenomenon of a strong conservative third party candidate is to simply elect the Democrat. Teddy gave us Woodrow Wilson in 1912, who only won 418% of the popular vote.
C. Give the most tepid congratulations possible to the winner, and tell his supporters it is up to them to decide whether or not to support the winner. In essence, tell them not to vote for the winner without actually saying it out loud.
Minor caveat:. He might also hold the GOP hostage by demanding the keynote address at the Convention as a condition of his supporting the nominee.
If Teddy Roosevelt had had Twitter and YouTube, the Bull Moose Party would still be ruling America.
It’s not too late, Mr. President - c’mon, admit it, you hate Republicans as much as I and most normal Americans do.
You’ve got the tools and you’ve got the talent. Ban Drag Queen Story Hour, close the border, and nationalize the hospitals, and your grandchildren will compete over who follows Don Jr. and Eric.
And, oh yeah - turn the DOJ loose on Jared. We’ve all had enough, and I bet you have, too.
Which would include anyone who ran third party....
