Trump Threatens Third Party run (again)


During a press conference in South Carolina, Donald Trump threatened once again to run as a third party candidate in the general election. "I signed a pledge, but it’s a double-edged pledge. As far as I’m concerned they’re in default of their pledge," Trump said of the RNC. He has previously hinted at the fact that he would run as an independent, which would violate the pledge he signed with the Republican National Committee.

It looks more and more like he's running interference for Hillary.

Just like Clinton is in it for herself, so is Trump for himself. One-percenters are much alike. Betty Karlson Feb 2016 #2

or doing anything else for anybody but himself. Trump is in this thing for Trump, period. If he feels the GOP hasn't kissed his ass enough he'll go third party just to make sure they lose the election, thus proving how important he is.

And of course, the Clintons and the Trumps are long time friends.
