This is a message to Liz Mair, Kasich, and their guerilla campaign donors.

Can’t blame him for raising this issue again. The Republican Party needs to get its house in order else risk rightly breaking the party and losing the election.

Yeah.

I hear you, Mr. Trump, and I can’t disagree.

The GOP is a real slithering snake, totally unworthy of any trust whatsoever.

Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, but I could see it.

What would a 3-way race look like? Rubio/Bush vs. Trump vs. Clinton/Sanders? My guess Trump wins and the real challenge is the electoral college.

I really think the GOPe won't mind losing in that result as they remain in control of the party for the longterm. Most of their big money people win with either Democrat or Republican in office so they might not really care in the end.

I’d like to see Trump release ads against this so-called Super PAC, informing everyone exactly who they are working for, and who is donating to them. He should definitely fight fire with fire.

CNN is also moderating the next republican debate. He should inform them that he will not take part until CNN admits on tv that they manipulated their reporting of his comments regarding Muslims and databases, and apologize for having done so. He should require that they run this admission and apology every 30 minutes between now and the time of the debate.

Trump hits back....harder!

Yes, it probably is and IF the GOPE gets Rubio ( or another such ) as the nominee ( which I doubt....we’ll ALL vote for Trump as an Indie and the GOP will be DEAD !

Well, it’s a sneaky LLC, so I don’t think the donors have to be disclosed.

Looks to me like this is along the same lines as the muslim registry.

Trump didn’t bring it up, the reporter did.

There is some possibility that Trump would be even more compelling as an Independent. So many people are disgusted with both major parties. If a charismatic, bold leader emerged and disavowed both of the big parties, I think people might see that as a huge plus.

Personally, I think Trump will stay in as a Republican, and choose Cruz as a running mate, and win in a landslide. But I see the Independent option as equally promising.

Why? All a third party would accomplish is election of the Democrat -- the Hildebeest.

Third parties are folly.

Laura Meckler has the intellect of a sieve and the honesty of a scorpion.

Trump never said this in the interview and wasn’t even obtuse or oblique in his answer...

All I’ve heard in the last two days is how the secretive GOP bigs are banding together to get rid of Trump.
If they have long knives out for him, why should he play their game?
GOP establishment is horse crap.

No matter who the Republican candidate would be, a third party Trump means hello President Hillary.

Okay, how is Trump expecting the GOPe to treat him unfairly?
