I can see that. Even if he's not vindictive what is sure is that Trump is not the type to work hard to unify the party behind the guy who beat him.

It's all looking great CVille, if the democrat wins the presidency. And I'm never confident of that until the votes are counted. If she doesn't it's the worst thing, politically, that's happened in my life time.

You are probably right. But

You are probably right. But from what we've seen of Trump so far, I wouldn't put it past him to get his "Trumpets" to stay home, or just write him in out of pure vindictiveness. His anger would HAVE to have an outlet. What better outlet than to give the finger to the GOP Establishment? I don't see the GOP letting Trump get the nomination.

Wouldn't THAT be great????? We would get the Presidency, the Senate, and give the House some major challenges.

And the other bonus is that the "Trump Brand" will be forever sullied by his boorish behavior and general ugliness. I predict another Bankruptcy -- this time a personal one -- Melania will not like that.

None of that seems clear to me yet. There's conflicting data so at this moment it's all speculation. But I doubt that Trump will run as an independent if he loses the republican nomination. The major parties control the states and both parties make it difficult and expensive to get on the ballot as an independent. They have a vested interest in limiting competition.

Donald Trump is not going to run as a third-party presidential candidate, even if he’s denied the Republican nomination.

I’m not saying whether it would be a good idea for the GOP to deny him the nomination if he gets a plurality but not a majority of the delegates. But if it does, he won’t run third-party: He can’t afford it.

I direct you to his personal financial disclosure form, which said he had about $300 million in cash and marketable securities. That’s a lot of money! Stunningly, however, it is not enough money to run a major presidential campaign, which now clocks in at around $1 billion.

If Trump runs as a third-party candidate, the money to do so is going to have to come mostly out of his own pocket. The Republican Party’s traditional donors certainly aren’t going to help him. And so far, he’s shown no ability to raise the kind of staggering totals that, say, Bernie Sanders has managed to get from small donors.

No need. The open convention ( late votes are going " bigly" against the short fingered vulgarian ) will snatch away the prize whereupon ~~Adolf~~ Donald will bolt and run Indy.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Trump crowds are thugs. The other Presidential candidates pledged to support him.

Look at the difference between the democratic crowd and the Trump crowd. Look at the difference in how Obama handles protesters at his speeches. What we see at the Trump rally is the beginnings of mob violence and Trump doesn't just condone it, he incites it. Obama calms the crowd down before they get even a little angry. We see this play out similarly with other democratic leaders as well.

Think of how the press would have handled black Obama supporters pushing white Tea Party members out of a rally. Trump is getting none of the demonization that Obama and his black supporters would have faced.

It did remind me of something, can't quite recall what. You're probably right. Something I saw on a golf course some years ago.

In reply to Trump Supporters Raise Right

Those straight arm 45 degree salutes that you saw were merely the result of shoulder strain from too much golf, and should not give rise to misgivings. Carry on.
