@maporsche,
He caucuses with Ds...and didn't want to be a spoiler. He'd have pulled significantly from Ds and put an R in.

@Lash,
Sounds like an establishment move to me. Politically convenient.

@maporsche,
If he'd run as a Green or Indy, you'd be screaming that he was handing it to a R. And he would be.

@Blickers,

If that's true, the scenarios get pretty desperate for the non-Tea Republicans from here on in.

A couple of possibilities:
They might simply throw Trump out of the party because of what happens at his rallies in addition to any past dirt they could dig up and give the nomination to the one with the next highest score, or do a brokered convention.

They might simply decide to publicly declare support for the Democratic nominee, (if its Hillary), because the country would be in too great a danger if Trump gets elected, and try to start an old style moderate-conservative party next year.


GOP has too much pride to ever vote Clinton, and if they just ignore the primary votes, it will be a revolution. Thats why they are scared to death. Its a candidate supported by the thugs they helped create and, they will have to ride it out and accept, a GOP as prez wont happen. Even if Trump us running on the repub ticket, they know hes uncontrollable. Hes technically an independant riding the reputation they have created for the last 8 years.

@Lash,
Nope, you'd have three parties:
The Progressive Liberals
The Establishment Repu-Dems
The Nationalist-Religious-AntiWashington-Tea Party Confederation.

@fbaezer,
But, I'd be so happy to have the Progressive party.

Then, at least, people would have to own up to who the hell they are. It'd be a dream.
