Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Monday again hinted at a possible third-party run, saying that the Republican National Committee is "in default" of an agreement and is not treating him fairly.
"When somebody's in default, that means the other side can do what they have to do," he said. "The RNC is in default."
Trump signed a pledge last year to run as a Republican and not as an independent. He first raised the posibility of a third-party run in an exclusive interview with The Hill last summer.
"I signed a pledge but it's a double-edge pledge, and as far as I'm concerned they're in default of the pledge," he said at a campaign event outside of Charleston, S.C., The Guardian reported.
During a later press conference, Trump said he was disappointed with the RNC because it stacks the room at debates "with special interests and donors."
"The RNC gave all the tickets to special interests that represented Cruz and Rubio. They had all the tickets," he said. "They walked on the stage and the place went crazy."
He said he doesn't have donors or special interests.
"I think the RNC did a very poor job," he said. "We've warned them...and they don't listen."
The RNC has "total control" over Trump's competitors, he added.
"The bottom line is the RNC is controlled by the establishment and the RNC is controlled by the special interests and the donors and that's too bad," he said.
: )
You stopped laughing.
Awww! Poor little rich boy isn’t getting his way! So sad. Trump is showing that he is a super megalomaniac who cannot face the truth. He is the world’s most spoiled loser boy. Just like his supporters.
There were articles before the debate that suggested that was the case.
And articles with comments from a local GOP chairman(?) that confirmed it after the debate.
Rush really has gone full on establishment. Why would he repeat an unverified "Bush" poll, first reported days ago by Kristol, and since that time refuted by 4 or 5 polls? He even sits there and says "just to repeat." Why?
Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance
The Cruzies are passing Denial and moving to the Anger stage.

Linked in Post #20:
“Sean Spicer, a spokesman for the commitee, offered a breakdown of debate attendance on Saturday night to show the relatively small number of donors in the audience. Of the approximately 1,600 people who attended, 300 tickets were given to Republican “grass-roots” activists and elected officials, 600 were divided evenly among the six candidates, and only 10 went to R.N.C. donors.”
There were 7 candidates on the stage - Trump has 26-?% support - and yet he wants 74% of the audience to kowtow to him - make him happy - make it “fair?”
Art of The Steal
Trump flourishes best when he can extort.
I bet you haven't been singing that tune long - I imagine you've tuned in to Rush's show since Trump formally announced in June 2015, when for 3 hours, 5 days a week, the EIB turned into the daily Trump fest.
He’s a crybaby. I’ve thought from the beginning that his disdain for the Republicans, his covert fondness first for the Democrats, and his own ego would make him mount a third party bid unless everyone bowed down to the philistine candidate, Trump. His mercurial character is yet one more reason for him not to win the nomination.
In fairness to Rush, you're a deranged imbecile, and Cruzers for the past month or longer have been accusing even Free Republic and Jim of being "Trumpers," unfairly tolerating Donald Trump supporters. You guys are just so intolerant that you will interpret anyone not bowing to your will as bias towards some other candidate.
You and your little group are probably a big reason why more than 60 percent of Freepers are voting for Donald Trump in the daily caucus.
I don’t use terms like “Trumpers” or call other FReepers names.
But many of Trump’s fans have gone that route.
You are one of the insult” commenters - others are the post disruptive videos, or large distracting pictures commenters.
All that does is tell me that you are scared - that Trump is so flawed that you must disrupt and insult and cannot explain him in a suitable way.
With Trump, it’s always been, “What’s in it for me?”
He won’t. I wish he would go 3rd party.
Thanks for the link....
He’s been putting out that they admitted they cheated and apologized.
Liar, liar, pants....
He simply cannot take anyone not in obeisance to him. His money has allowed him to remain a bully all his life. But he was bizarre in that debate, even for him.
REAL polling, it seems, is showing Cruz is gaining fast. He is in panic mode. He’s like a cornered badger - albeit a “pu*sy” badger.
You'd be okay with a split vote and another Democrat in the WH picking justices for the court?
Basically it says, “Donald Trump Hates Puppies”. ;-)
here is another blast from the past the MSM will tear down Trump with if he is nominated...

There are tons of outrageous crap in his history that the MSM will bring out if he is the nominee. Right now they love him like they loved McCain during the 2008 primaries, the “Maverick”...
