This has been Trumps game plan all along.

Third party run and put Hillary in office.

Run in the primary and throw enough stones around to give the Democrats plenty ammunition to use against the Republican nominee, Ted Cruz.

Announce an independent run for office after he gets enough supporters to split the ticket.

He runs as third party and Hillary walks into Office

Trump gets his YUUUUUGE payoff from Bill Clintooon and Company. Hillary and Obama walk free for all of their misdeeds that they have pulled in the last 8 years.

Thanks Trumpanzeeees, yawl are the BEST........

Rush has bent over backwards to be fair to Trump.

To be fair, you're another person who is extraordinarily deluded and probably suffer all sorts of Trump related hallucinations. I'm not sure how one can read Hush Bimbo's behavior recently and not see the problem.

Was it something you saw at that link, like Trump’s huuuge donations to McConnell’s PAC and Boehner, oh and Karl Rove’s group, that set you off?

Rush isn’t a real conservative, right? Trump is the real conservative. He is the leadership principle. Trump is the leader. The leader is always right. The leader is always right. The leader is always right. The leader is never wrong. The leader is always right. The leader is always right. The leader is never wrong.

Are you now a Putinista too, like your spoiled little rich brat, Trump?

..........”It would seem that winning just isn’t enough for Donald Trump. This, after all, is a man accustomed to getting his way. He wants absolute fealty whether or not he warrants it. But if Trump wants the loyalty of Republicans, then surely he must understand that a previous Republican President, even George W. Bush, is still held with great affection in some quarters. Does he honestly expect that Republicans, be they donors or not, are going to be inclined to react kindly when they hear him claim that President Bush lied about WMDs in Iraq and blame him for the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil? Trump deserved every boo and jeer he got on Saturday night.

Donald Trump signed a pledge to the Republican Party, but he claims the Republican Party made a pledge to him. The Republican Party has no more obligation to Trump than it does to any of his opponents. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, John Kasich, and Ben Carson understand this very well. But that isn’t how Trump rolls (or for that matter how he trolls). So when Trump threatens to break his pledge he is telling Republicans, “Either nominate me as your candidate or I will run against you.” If Trump is so eager to help Hillary Clinton into the White House then Republicans ought to tell him, “Either are you with us or you are against us.”

The leader is always right. The leader is always right. The leader is never wrong. The leader is always right. The leader is always right. The leader is never wrong.

The fact you even took the time to write that makes me think you're really nuts. You're going to have a break down if Cruz doesn't win the nomination.

It'll save you the horror of seeing Ted Cruz's face bake into bread after spending too much time out in the sun.

Fight Back

Much as it pays to emphasize the positive, there are times when the only choice is confrontation. In most cases I’m very easy to get along with. I’m very good to people who are good to me. But when people treat me badly or unfairly or try to take advantage of me, my general attitude, all my life, has been to fight back very hard. The risk is that you’ll make a bad situation worse, and I certainly don’t recommend this approach to everyone. But my experience is that if you’re fighting for something you believe in— even if it means alienating some people along the way— things usually work out for the best in the end.

When the city unfairly denied me, on Trump Tower, the standard tax break every developer had been getting, I fought them in six different courts. It cost me a lot of money, I was considered highly likely to lose, and people told me it was a no-win situation politically. I would have considered it worth the effort regardless of the outcome. In this case, I won— which made it even better.

When Holiday Inns, once my partners at the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, ran a casino that consistently performed among the bottom 50 percent of casinos in town, I fought them very hard and they finally sold out their share to me. Then I began to think about trying to take over the Holiday Inns company altogether.

Even if I never went on the offensive, there are a lot of people gunning for me now. One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people— I categorize them as life’s losers— who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something constructive themselves.

“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.”

So:

1. Trump had as many tickets from the RNC as the other candidates. Trump knows this.

2. If Trump has any beef with distribution of the remaining tickets, the complaint should be directed at the South Carolina Republican Party and CBS. I have no idea how they distributed their tickets. I would not be surprised if the SC GOP distributed them to county chairmen, donors, and other party workhorses, as this would be a very sensible way for a state party to reward the faithful. But Trump has no complaint with the RNC.

3. So, once again, we see that Trump is merely lashing out wildly, making a ridiculous false charge with no support in the facts, and known to be false to Trump when he makes it ... assuming of course that he stops to think about such things when lashing out in anger.

3. Trump will now double down on the lie. The false charge will now be leveraged for extortionate demands for special treatment, or as a reason for Trump to renege on a commitment.

4. And once again, none of Trump's supporters care in the slightest what their man does. I have never seen collective insanity of this type in U.S. politics. It stinks of Latin American caudillo politics.
