Trump going 'Third Party', after all

Hey , what happen to taking "The Pledge" ?

As the Republican primary began, each candidate was asked to sign a pledge: Should another pol win, support would go to the winner of the primary. Reluctantly, Donald Trump agreed. (Picture at left)

The move was a means of preventing Trump from running as a third party candidate in case he lost. Well, despite the majority of politicos and the media predicting Donald Trump would never clinch the nomination, he has won.

This "joke" of a "clown", "sexist", "anti-immigrant", "reality T.V. guy" who is, for good measure, also "anti woman", is now a contender for the highest office in the land and most important job on Earth.

Much like Ryan Seacrest or an extension on "The Kardashians", Trump was viewed as a modern-day carnival barker. Now he's proven everybody wrong. Sure, Trump has experienced "life " problems --- like everyone has. It's called living: Divorce, bankruptcy, making remarks about women that guys make everyday .

The bankruptcies were Trump taking advantage of the the bankruptcy laws --- all legal.

Any hyperwealthy, successful businessman -- think Mark Cuban, Bill Gates, Steven Jobs -- will tell you they've failed many times.

To the majority of the Republican insiders and the "establishment" Trump isn't a "real" conservative.


When Trump dared to declare: "Let's build a wall," many Americans agreed with him. Instead of his poll numbers plummeting, they skyrocketed.

Trump then proposed America should stop Muslim Immigration until we rectify our visa problems and gets its Immigration system in order, which by the way is logical.

Trump admitted his clothing line and T.V. sets were bought for his hotels from overseas because of bad trade deals and tariffs that were unfair to America , again his numbers went up.

The Republican Establishment continued to say, Trump was outta line, had no fluency with the issues and predicted the American people would never buy what Trump was selling. Like a bad case of diarrhea, they hoped he would just go away.

Well, he did go away --- taking the majority of voters with him.

As the legislative bodies in America continue in gridlock, Trump energized the American Public. Some bad, but mostly good.

The People are unhappy with the status quo. The Republican elite have failed to understand this. They seem to think Trump is pulling some kind of Voodoo.

The Republicans say that Trump doesn't represent "our values". No, he doesn't. He represents the majority American values.

The Republican elite say they need unity, and Trump should come around to the party way.

Well, the reason Trump is in the lead is because he hasn't come around to the establishment way. Trump owes the Republicans nothing; they've never embraced him. They have done everything they could to stop him from being successful.

Now, the conservative Republicans are saying there's no true conservative to vote for. They're looking for a third party candidate.

There is a third party. They're called the Republicans.
