Donald Trump says he’ll run independently if GOP doesn’t treat him ‘fairly’

If he thinks he might actually win the nomination, he might do such a thing to ensure he doesn't win and Hillary becomes President. I don't think even he thought he would be so much in the lead so close to Iowa. If he starts saying some really outlandish things (more outlandish than usual for him) while he is still so far in the lead, it is a sure giveaway that this man's intentions are not to be President. I may be completly wrong. Time will tell.
 
Trump is simply using the same game plan Ron Paul used in 2008- float the threat of a 3rd Party run in order to keep the GOP Establishment from completely screwing you over. The only difference between Paul and Trump is that Trump has far more leverage because of better polling numbers. Trump isn't threatening 3rd Party over "perceived" unfairness- he's threatening it over actual unfairness. These comments were in response to a report of the GOP power structure banding together to do whatever it takes to deny him the nomination. If Trump says, "I'll never run 3rd party no matter what you do to me" they will do anything and everything to screw him over. He needs something to keep them honest.

As for Trump being a shill for Hillary:



wrong. ron NEVER threatened a 3rd party run ever. he said he had no plans of doing so right from the beginning. the media are the ones who said it was a threat.
 
I might be completely wrong in my assessment, but I think that Rand Paul actually fully predicted and called out Trump's game-plan right from the first debate. All these threats of running as an independent when he appears to be safely ahead if he suddenly loses his lead because of perceived "unfairness" makes me think that he plans on scuttling his own campaign with all of these idiotic theatrics he's been engaged in, all in order to run 3rd party and try to help obtain a Clinton victory in the general election.

The average GOP voter and, sadly, a fair number of former Ron Paul supporters are getting so obviously hoodwinked by the dog and pony show that it's not even funny. I get the whole thing about being pissed off over all the moochers coming in from the 3rd world and bankrupting our government and taking our tax money, but anyone foolish enough to think that Trump is being genuine here needs a strong wake up call now.

Of course, but you might as well yell at the dog...

...they don't/won't/can't understand.

If Trump were to win (which he won't), they'd figure it out in about 3.5 years.

...then the media would pump some INVASION OF THE BROWN PEOPLE O NOES! stories, which would scare them into obedience.

...to re-elect Trump.

Then, 3.5 years later, with the national debt approaching $25 Trillion, with increases in federal spending, taxes, and regulation every year of the Trump Presidency...

....they'd be getting a little edgy

...they'd be ready to revolt!

...and Rand or similar would, again, try to lead them in the right direction, to restore some sanity!

But then the media would skur them bout more turrists

:( ...o noes, TERRORISTS!!!

....And so then they'd nominate some mindless demagogue, like Trump, again.

Everyone freaked out last time about idiots like Bachman, Cain, Perry etc and said they were going to win. Before that it was Gulaini and some others we all forget by now. This happens every election cycle, voters flirt with unelectable candidates in early polling, but when it comes down to voting, Governors and Senators with real experience always win. That is not Trump.

Exactly. In the beginning polls can be lead by candidates with name recognition, or candidates that make the most noise and draw the most attention to themselves.

People are drawn to the "outsider" candidates with no experience early... but they do not win when it gets later and the votes actually count. As we know, it's hard enough for a Rep. in Congress to do well in the primaries - someone that has never won an election at any level is not going to do it.

As usual, whoever the nominee is this time, it will be a Governor or Senator.

If candidates like Trump/Carson/Fiorina/Cain/etc really want to have a chance to be President they need to first run and win office as a Rep/Senator/Governor.
 
rand NEEDS to say in the next debate that he called trump out on this in the opening minutes.
im going to see if i can make a video of that now. help me spread it when i upload it.
