Trump Floats Third-Party Threat If GOP Won't Back Him

Donald Trump has floated the idea of running a third-party campaign if increasingly disgruntled Republican leaders don’t get behind his run for the presidency.

Trump signaled the possibility by posting an article on Truth Social Wednesday promoting just such an option.

Bizarrely, the author of the article in the right-wing journal American Greatness, believes such a move would torpedo Trump’s chances to win the White House. But it would also wipe out Republican hopes, which would be a deserving punishment for rejecting the popular former president, writer Dan Gelernter indicated in his piece entitled “The Coming Split.”

“Do I think Trump can win as a third-party candidate? No. Would I vote for him as a third-party candidate? Yes. Because I’m not interested in propping up this corrupt [GOP] gravy-train any longer,” he wrote.

He claimed that the “Republican machine has no intention of letting us choose Trump again: He is not a uniparty team player. They’d rather lose an election to the Democrats, their brothers in crime, than win with Trump.”

He asked: “What should we do when a majority of Republicans want Trump, but the Republican Party says we can’t have him? Do we knuckle under and vote for Ron DeSantis because he would be vastly better than any Democrat? I say no, we don’t knuckle under.”

Trump has flirted before with the idea of a third party — and apparently largely out of vindictiveness.

Odd that such an asshole might actually be responsible for what America needs.
The success of a third party would depend upon how much cash was lavished on its launch and who would head it after El Trumpo had served his purpose.

I know enough to be sure that there will never be a major third party. Forced to choose between three instead of two would short-circuit the mental capabilities of the masses.
 
Sooo, which would you right wingers support, Trump or the Republican nominee.
 
Trump won’t form a third party unless he is willing to reduce his chances. As it is he can do what he did in 2015, waltz into the primaries and watch the party big shots get stiffed by the voters. A third party offers him no advantages and the disadvantage of antagonizing loyal Republicans.

I never support useless third-party candidates. It only ensures the morons in the Democratic Party of the Lying Jackasses remain elected.

I'm pretty sure leftists throughout America are wetting their pants and hoping Trump does this to split the ticket.

So you prefer party over your devotion to Trump.

You are SLIGHTLY less of a sycophant than I thought.

I'd enjoy it for sure. The GOP made its bed when they chose Trump as their nominee in '16.

I said then that he would end up hurting that party for years. Doesn't really make me a prophet or anything - that was easy to see at the time.

The only third party #TRE45ON will run with will be HIS and his alone.

I think he will. He wants revenge, and this is how he gets it. He knows he will lose in a straight party fight, this way he has an excuse and he gets payback against DeSantis. Lets him use nicknames for the next two years.

Dear fucking idiot


More than two parties with nearly equal strength means you don’t really have democracy anymore


The two party system comes from the voters you blank brained idiot


It would be HORRIBLE to have 33% of the people picking who leads the whole nation


That means no majority rule huh ass lapper





The PEOPLES CHOICE is why we have two major parties


It is NOT deemed to exist by any fucking laws


The people choose not to support weak stupid parties that don’t appeal to many Americans



Just how stupid and dishonest are you shit breath?



Fuck you very much
