If Donald Trump gets bumped out of the Republican primaries and runs as an independent third party candidate, 36 percent of Republicans and a whopping 19 percent of likely Democratic voters would support him, according to a new poll.
Rasmussen Reports on Monday said that a Trump third party bid would complicate the presidential election even more than it did when H. Ross Perot ran in 1992, a bid that many believe cost former President George H.W. Bush a second term.
According to the poll:
• Over a third (36 percent) of likely GOP voters say they are likely to vote for Trump if he's a third-party candidate, with 18 percent who are :very likely" to do so.
• One-in-three voters who are not affiliated with either major party (33 percent) also are likely Trump voters, including 16 percent who say they are very likely to vote for him if he runs third-party.
• Even 19 percent of Democrats describe themselves as likely Trump voters, although that includes just nine percent (9 percent) who say they are very likely to vote that way.
Other recent polls found that a Trump independent run would cost the Republican nominee and all but guarantee a Democratic victory.
If it is Jeb and Hillary in the final standing.
Then it is either third party for me or stay home.
I will not hold my nose and make the choice for the lesser of two evils because there is no difference.
But I may join a group to help stop the elections and bring down the government because the people do not want these two to be the last two standing.
It is all staged for the elite and the government needs to be brought down, IMHO
Your meme is exactly what so many ascribed to for both of Obama's victories - some who claim to be on our side seem to hate the thought of winning and then having all that responsibility....
Can you say “President Hilary Clinton” ?
No, and never will have to say that phrase.
Ol Thunder Thighs is going down and the Democrats will see to that.
Freudian slip, I see
I notice that you are having a problem saying it too.
Hillary + Bush + Trump = Hillary wins
Hillary + Walker + Trump = Trump wins.
Nope. The anti-dem vote is already <50%. Dividing it further guarantees a win for the dem nominee.
