Will Trump run as an independent if he doesn't got the GOP presidential nomination?

And if he does, can he win or will he split the right vote and give the election to the Dems to punish the reps who didn't support him?

Man, if he does I'll even donate to #TRE45ON! Do it do it do it!

He'll take at least a third of the (R) candidates votes, maybe more. Then we will be blessed with four more years of a (D) POTUS.

What do you think Trump would do if he lost the Republican primary.

Claim fraud for sure, and his supporters would very likely to continue to believe him.

And then they'd refuse to vote in the Nov. election because it doesn't count anyways? lol

I seriously doubt it. Running as an independent takes lots of money--mostly your own money--and that's something Trump isn't going to fork over regardless of what he says.

You're right about that. Instead he'll use the hundreds of millions he's already fleeced the flock for, and open his pockets for them to donate more.

Trump is not an idiot, independents can not win because the two parties collude to prevent this as they control ballot access.

If he truly believes he beat Biden, he is an idiot, and can fool himself into believing anything.

Sure he'll claim fraud but that won't stop him from running. Does anybody think he'll idly sit by while others campaign for the presidency?
I don't. There'll be enough aides and supporters in his ear coaxing him to run as independent, convincing him he'd win. He knows it's his last chance to run for POTUS. He'll be too old in 2028. This is Donald trump's we're talking about. He needs to be in the spotlight to feed his enormous ego. Losing the Rep nomination won't stop him from running. He thinks he's destined to return to the WH.

He also desperately needs to be IMPOTUSx2x2 again to escape criminal and civil liabilities.

I’d pay to get him to do it!

He cannot win as an independent. So far he has failed to win the popular vote in two presidential elections so it is unlikely he can win as a Republican.

He can't win but I can sure see him running anyways to punish the (R)s for not nominating him.

I suppose that is possible, and we will certainly see. I think a better strategy for Trump--if he really wants to crush the Democrats--would be to play spoiler. That is, he stays in the Republican race but makes it so another highly electable candidate is doing well as front runner or close second.
He lets the Democrats go hair-on-fire over his looking like he might get nominated and eggs them on to put on all sorts of (expensive) ad campaigns and such focused on keeping him from winning that nomination. Then he drops out at the last moment, the Democrats have spent gazillions on trying to stop him, when what he really accomplished was he kept the now Republican candidate shielded from all that bashing while costing the DNC a big chunk of its money on a chimera.

Trump did "force" the Revolution to come out into the open several years before planned, now he is laser focused on motivating them to overreach as much as possible hoping that the American people wise up and decide to attempt to take back America from our treasonous Failed Elite Class, the drivers of this revolution against the rest of America.

I wouldn't be shocked. He can't stand losing and might want to stay in the spotlight a little longer.

Exactly. When he inevitably loses, having obtained a Supreme Court decision allowing him to run even if under indictment, he'll just claim it "was rigged." Wait for it.

Sounds like an intelligent strategy. Therefore #TRE45ON will have nothing to do with it.
 
Jarod said:
I agree, but it depends on who runs, Trump wouldn’t have won if the non-Trump lane had not been so crowded for so long.

Another reason Trump would run as an independent, it'd give him more opportunity to scam money from his gullible cult.
Running for office and scamming donations will be his new career. He must wake up laughing art his MAGA morons.

He believed riling up thousands of radical extremists to storm the Capitol was a perfect idea.

And then there's the drinking Clorox thing...

The man ain't real good at deesishionmaking.

He won't care if he can't win. It'll be just another way to fleece his flock. You know I'm right.

They will donate hundreds of millions maybe a billion.

Trump running as an independent is making more and more sense.
1) He can stay in the national spotlight
2) He can continue to grift his cult of millions
3) He can feed his massive ego.

And he has a small chance of winning, so he can claim persecution again...
