If this was indeed a valid assumption why is it not just as viable for the race to still be viewed as Trump or whoever the democratic candidate is?
Is it a foregone conclusion that if Trump goes 3rd party the republicans would knowingly dilute the vote to allow a democratic win?
I don't think so. We are not all lemmings or pied piper voters!!!!

Having been involved personally in a number of "third party" runs, I can assure you that the votes will be split between the Republican Party and the independent.
Democrats are going to vote democrat and had no intention of voting Republican or for the independent.
Vote is split and thus not enough voters to carry.
I CAN ASSURE YOU, a third party run by Trump GUARANTEES A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY NO MATTER THEIR CANDIDATE !!
And allow me to add. His ship will sink eventually but by then he will have done such damage to the party that there is not way the turnout in 2016 would be sufficient to win.
He will sink because he
CANNOT DO WHAT HE SAYS. We have a system of government that will not allow it. Do you not think our current President would have done more liberal progressive things had he had the opportunity.
Trump is playing for his ego.
Might make you feel good to rave about what he says, but trust me, you will be crying in your beer next November.
If he ever gets the nomination, this might be the very first presidential election since 1960 that I just sit out.
We need the opposite of Trump in this country right now. He will make the country even more divided and that we do not need.
And as I said, it may be too late already. We have fed that ego and folks like you have climbed aboard. You, and I do not mean this personally, may have voted Republican, but if he does not get the nomination, you won't vote. THAT is what is going to happen.......as of now, no matter what happens, unless there is something I can't see will just decimate the Republican party.
