Go For It, Donald!
I agree. Don't let 'em push you around, big guy!
Donald J. Trump has been roiling Republicans by attacking his rivals on their weak poll numbers and questioning their energy (Jeb Bush) and intelligence (Rick Perry).
But the larger threat that he poses to the party is the prospect that he could opt out and run as a third-party candidate. True to form, Mr. Trump is keeping the option open.
In an interview with The Hill newspaper published on Thursday, Mr. Trump said that many of his supporters have been urging him to consider a third-party run if he fails to secure the Republican nomination. Noting that the Republican National Committee has been “foolish” in its handling of him, he said that his treatment by the party will dictate his plans.
“I’ll have to see how I’m being treated by the Republicans,” Mr. Trump said. “Absolutely, if they’re not fair, that would be a factor.”

Wow, he really is a megalomaniac.

Re: Go For It, Donald!
I think that he ultimately may do a third party run.
If he gets 12-18% it will come almost entirely from the GOP.

Re: Go For It, Donald!
So he calls the RNC fools and still thinks he's in the running for the Brand-R nomination?

Re: Go For It, Donald!
As a side note to this obession with Trump and his 'trumpisms', has anyone else noticed that Fox doesn't cover him too much anymore? Gee, I wonder why. I'm mean he's either leading or close to the top in several primary tribal poles. You would think the foxy Republican mucky-mucks, talking heads, and water-carriers would be waving Donald's flag.

Interesting, Fred. I just read an article about Trump's threat about a third party run on the Fox website. I wandered down to the comment section, and there were several posts by Trumpanistas just furious with Fox for not covering the Donald enough.
On the other side,,,,, I watch MSNBC's Morning Joe, and it's wall to wall Trump coverage. Actually, this morning I switched channels because it was just over the top excessive. You'd think that he'd won the nomination.
Could these outlets each be serving their own agendas with coverage decisions?
Nah, what was I thinking.
