He'd have to finance that himself, and he won't want to spend that much on what would certainly be a losing effort. Post-Nader, third parties are strictly protest votes and no independent is likely to top 3%, which Trump would find humiliating.<br /><br />Trump's staying power is a mystery to me. I thought he'd have the same trajectory as Carson--top tier in September, irrelevant by December. If he doesn't start losing support, he may get quite a few delegates in March. For sheer entertainment value, I want a floor fight at the Republican Convention.charvakanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074336887224943197noreply@blogger.com
