Donald Trump threatens to make Republicans' worst nightmare come true

Real-estate developer Donald Trump would increasingly consider a third-party presidential campaign if the GOP establishment were to treat him unfairly, he told The Hill in a Wednesday interview.

"I'll have to see how I'm being treated by the Republicans," Trump said. "Absolutely, if they're not fair, that would be a factor."

The Republican businessman, who is leading most national polls, is under attack from many leaders in his own party who view his candidacy as a sideshow that could harm the GOP brand.

But as The New York Times previously reported, what some party higher-ups fear most is Trump launching a third-party campaign that could pull more votes from the Republican nominee than the Democrat in the general election.

"You've got to keep him in the tent," former Rep. Tom Davis (R-Virginia) told the newspaper. "He just wreaks havoc, and every vote he takes comes out of our hide."

A poll released earlier in this week may confirm that fear. Testing a hypothetical three-way matchup among Trump, former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida (R), and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, a Washington Post/ABC survey found Clinton (46%) easily ahead of Bush (30%) and Trump (20%).

Trump, speaking to The Hill about a potential third-party bid, singled out the Republican National Committee in particular for being unfair to him.

"The RNC has not been supportive," Trump said. "They were always supportive when I was a contributor. I was their fair-haired boy. The RNC has been, I think, very foolish."

The RNC criticized Trump last weekend after he panned the war record of Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona). Trump said McCain was "not a war hero" before reversing himself and repeatedly saying the opposite. McCain spent five years as a prisoner after his plane was shot down during the Vietnam War.

"There is no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honorably," an RNC spokesman said in a statement.
The possibility of a third-party Trump campaign reminds some GOP leaders of Ross Perot, the Texas billionaire who ran independent White House bids in 1992 and 1996. Perot's first candidacy is often blamed for damaging President George H.W. Bush's reelection campaign and letting Bill Clinton win with a mere plurality of the vote.
Trump has also blamed Perot's candidacy for Clinton's 1992 win, and the real-estate developer previously seemed concerned that he could do the same for Hillary Clinton.

"I think every single vote that went to Ross Perot came from Bush," Trump told The Washington Examiner. "Virtually every one of his 19 percentage points came from the Republicans. If Ross Perot didn't run, you have never heard of Bill Clinton."

It's like DeJa Vu all over again.

So he's an undercover libtard Hillary supporter.
Shocker.....

Better Inside the Tent pi$$ing out,than Outside the Tent pi$$ing in!

Looks like Repubs will have to play the "Kucinich Card".

I thought our worst nightmare was in office already- ? A guy who has his birth records sealed- college records sealed- was a bad senator- shows rainbow lites on white house 2 hours after supreme court says gay marriage is ok- but takes a week and a lot if criticism about our soldiers being murdered and finally lowers the flag??/

it didn't matter to the democrats about Clinton meana gun running at his airport- my brother and I sat near his airport and saw airplanes coming in at all times at night- of course we can't proce gun running but it was as busy as the springfield Missouri airport lolol, Hillary being fired from Rose Law Firm for unethical behavior? Bills womanizing was well known but democrats still voted for him and we got agenda 21 from him look it up

I said it before and I'll say it again, Trump is deliberately hamstringing the Republicans.

The SIXTH Donald Trump thread.

Yep, your right. Trump has done quite well when the Dems are in control.

Who didn't see this coming?

H. Ross Trump's only real goal,
is to ensure, that another dimocrat takes the whitehouse.

Ah, the urban legends keep on being promoted.

We have NEVER had a President who has put so much money and effort into hiding his background.
