Trump threatens third party run if Republican leadership doesn't play ball

So, how does everyone evaluate this?

To me, it is a possible confirmation that this candidacy is either a huge ego trip, or that Trump has made a Perot-style deal with the Democrats. It makes me want to examine Trump's relationship with Bill Clinton.

To quote Ross Perot, "I'm all ears."

    I was thinking H. Ross Perot with bad hair.

    If he runs third party, the Pantsuit or the Commie will be the next Prez. He'd be a spoiler like Ross Perot and split the Conservative vote.

    The GOP leadership isn't worth the powder to blow them to Hell.

    With that said, they are VERY unfortunately, the "only game in town" and they know it.

    Exactly what happened with Ross Perrot, great businessman, ambitious, most eloquent, no gramba, a vote for either is a vote for the wrong team!!!

    Trump is a deal-maker. He could have a deal with the Clintons, or he could be using the Perot scenario to coerce the Republican leadership, to get them to call off the dogs.

    If he stays in for a few primaries, it is the latter. If he bails, and goes third party, it is the former. I figure he will continue until his poll ratings start to tank, and then either quit or open the third party scam.

    Yeah, the DA will pull votes away and the "crat" will get elected.

    This is what I was saying a few threads ago about Trump. All I have ever seen in him is another Ross Perot.

    If you guys have beefs with the RINO establishment GOP this election cycle is our moment to break the chain of spineless middle left POTUS nominees we have suffered with for over 20 years ...

    It seems the Repunklickin Establishment is planning to treat the Donald as something other than a legitimate candidate. He has the numbers and the money so if they act to derail him it is their well deserved suicide! If they just let him run his course and primary out he will probably back the most worthy candidate. After the last several election cycles I see nothing good from the establishment.

    That is definitely one possibility that won't surprise me, although I'm still leaning slightly the other way. We will know soon enough, I reckon.
