A question regarding Trump's possible independent

run for 2016. If he fails to get enough delegates by
super Tuesday, can he still run as an independent in
enough states to hurt the repugs?

After all he is not just a megalomaniac, but also
rather vengeful.

In Texas for example, Trump must file by December 14 to either run in the GOP primary or to run as an independent. He can not file for both. There are several states with sore loser laws that would make it difficult for Trump to run as an independent including Michigan and Ohio. Trump will need to committ to run as an independent some time before the end of the year to have a chance
