I was poked fun at for suggesting this was likely happening last week....

"William Kristol, editor of the conservative Weekly Standard magazine, said he would work actively to put forward an “independent Republican” ticket if Mr. Trump was the nominee, and floated Mr. Sasse as a recruit."


"Max Boot, a foreign policy adviser to Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, said that if efforts to block Mr. Trump fell short, he would vote against a Republican nominee for the first time in his life.
“I would sooner vote for Josef Stalin than I would vote for Donald Trump,” said Mr. Boot, who expressed optimism that Mr. Trump could still be defeated. He added: “There is no way in hell I would ever vote for him. I would far more readily support Hillary Clinton, or Bloomberg if he ran.”"
 
"There had been widespread discussion, Mr. Moore said, of seeking out “a conservative independent or third-party candidate.”

Can you provide proof that you were poked fun at on this forum? Why would I be surprised by ex democrats like Kristol being against Trump. Go look at the history of today's neocons. Their natural home was the democrat party until the Vietnam war. Then they shifted allegiances. Now they believe (rightly so) that Hillary is more militaristic than Trump.

Oops...

Donald Trump -- who has attracted voters with his pledge to fund his campaign from his own bank account -- intends to reverse course and raise money in the general election if he wins the Republican nomination, according to a source familiar with the plan.

Trump and his staff have told some individuals -- including potential donors -- that as soon as the billionaire businessman secures the nomination, he will pivot and begin fundraising for a general election fight, the source said.

In the event that he wins, Trump will have to quickly scale up his campaign -- particularly if he's competing nationwide against Hillary Clinton's behemoth political organization. In private conversations, Trump and his aides have acknowledged that the Republican Party will need to be well-funded for the general election.
