Of course Trump should be threatening the RNC with a third party run if they try to pull any of their typical RINO nonsense.

You are correct.

That's the way business deals are cut.

He wants Priebus to bring his dogs into line.

I’d give the election a pass before voting for Trump.

OUTSTANDING - Great to hear!

He’s just sealed Jeb’s fate, along with Rubio, Walker and most of the others in the pack.

But, in the end, if Trump is treated well, and defeated in the arena of ideas, rather than by PERSONAL ATTACKS, he will respect the will Republican Primary VOTERS, and not run Third Party. But if the party keeps this up, then it’s through - and THANKFULLY. If they REFUSE to support their base, it’s time for the party to go bye-bye.

"More recently, the RNC rebuked him for saying that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is not a war hero. Trump didn’t apologize but has since said that the 2008 Republican presidential nominee is a war hero."

He said McCain was war hero at leas three times at the same time, arguably in the very same sentence. No distortion or bias from the media.

Since Trump seems to scare the willies out of the eGOP, the 'rats and the MSM, I have to like him just for that. Would he make a good president? He couldn't possibly be worse than Obama.

funny, saw an article two days ago wherein Trump was quoted saying he would not go third party.

Remember this, most get flack when they are right over the target.

...and perhaps the Republican Party should have taken that into consideration BEFORE going after Trump as they did.

Oh well, TOO LATE NOW!!!

No one can “attack” Trump but he gets free reign?

And what about your comment that he “will respect the will (of) Republican Primary VOTERS?”

What if he drops in the polls (that he’s bragging about so much)? They’re already showing a drop off.

Who’s to blame then, ‘cause The Donald is NEVER wrong - he tells everyone who will listen that he’s the gold standard.

Trump running as a third party would all but guarantee a DemonRAT victory.

Ross Perot elected Bill Clinton TWICE by running 3rd party.

Conservatives valuing their own thoughts more than the country elected Obama twice by not voting

Bush and Dole elected Bill Clinton twice by being sucky candidates who turned their back on the base.

Don’t blame Perot for the failures of Bush and Dole.

Well said. It’s time the R party learned a lesson. Their tactics aren’t working. The rest of the Rs need to put their big-boy britches on and start running their own campaigns. They aren’t exactly giving us anything exciting to vote for. They are like a bunch of ankle biters nipping at his heels because, in reality, they are jealous as they see their own hopes going down the drain. And, truth be known, most of them aren’t showing leadership, just pettiness.

“Trump running as a third party would all but guarantee a DemonRAT victory.”

So would Jeb running as a Republican - regardless of the outcome.

Maybe then we would see an end to all this fawning over him.

Trump is just a thinner Chris Christie - remember when we loved that guy because he yelled loudly at people we don’t like? Let’s not be fooled twice.

Other than the Mexican Government, who did Trump attack, rather than respond to?
