Last night on the GOP candidate debate, Donald Trump said he would not pledge not to run as a Third Party candidate. In fact, upon further questioning by the moderators, he basically said he WOULD run as a Third Party.

It seems to be the general belief this would guarantee the victory for Hillary.

What can be done so this doesn't happen?

You are misquoting him...no, not right you are not quoting him at all.

He said he would support the Republican candidate if he has respect for that candidate. Note, he later in an exchange said how much he respects Jeb Bush which was telling.

No third party, but threatening it keeps him viable and he knows it.

It could be as simple as if he gets the nomination there is no issue.
If he does not AND he does run as a third party, do not vote for the third party.....unless you want the democratic candidate to win.

I suspect it ill not happen and if it does I would hope those in favor of Trump would understand the would be handing the election to the democratic candidate. Could/would they follow Trump to the extent of throwing the election? I would like to think not.

Many folks love to hate Trump. Maybe that is his plan, to draw all the ire from the liberals away from the other candidates, so that one of them can "cleanly" waltz into the general election. Just one of many theories. With so many candidates, it spreads liberal resources pretty thin, trying to produce dirt. That's their normal MO, so what's wrong with the GOP having a plan or tactic?

As Rubio so accurately stated last night...the republicans have 17 candiates and the democrats do not even have one!!!

...and the "not even one Democrat candidate" can beat any of the 17 Republican clowns.

Is it possible the Clinton Foundation is funding Trump's run so he can run as a third party candidate and guarantee Hillary the election?

Why would he need the money?

Even if he did for whatever reason for the premise to work one assumes that all who would vote for Trump as a republican would lemming-like follow him as an independent.

That would further assume those doing so would not care if Clinton wins as a result.

I just don't see the American voter (most of them) being that stupid!

We all know the thought of that happening must be erotic-like for the Clinton gang and gets them breathing hard.

Obama for two terms. Enough said.

Donald Trump disinvited from conservative gathering over Megyn Kelly comments | MSNBC


Donald Trump has been disinvited to the Redstate Gathering today in Atlanta by Eric Ericson because of comments he made when he called in to CNN last night about Megyn Kelly. Trump was supposed to be the final speaker and attend a big party at the end of the event.

Trump's spokesman said that he would appear at another location today, and Ericson has invited Megyn Kelly to appear in Trump's place.

Is this stirring of the hornet's nest going to be enough to send Trump off on a third party run? Stay tuned.

Will stay tuned, but there is no way that Trump runs as a third party candidate as much as it seems from what I am hearing and reading that the Democrats are praying for that.

THAT, a Trump third party run, is at this point, the only chance for the Democrats.

Now all of this can change but Trump certainly is acting more like a Democrat than a Republican.

I am looking forward to the next few polls after his fiasco in the debate and last night.

He does not understand quite that the POLLS do not necessarily convert to votes, ESPECIALLY at this point. These are americans showing their discontent and this is a perfect opportunity to do that.

To say that if Trump decided to go as a third party automatically converts to a win for democrats requires a very big assumption....that all those who support Trump would blindly follow and vote for him as an independent.

That is just simply not a good assumption.
It implies that those who would vote for Trump do not care if the result is a win for the democrats.

A cooment made by Trump in the debates that has not been addressed at least on any post reviews that I have listened to or read was when he said......being in the lead is leverage.
Now why has this comment not been explored?

To me it is much more important than the celebrity pi$$ing contest going on between him and Meagan. Both of which are doing nothing more than serving their ego and nothing to do with the needs of the American people.

If this were to come down to Hillary vs Carly I would vote Trump.

Why? Why not just vote for Hillary?
