Priebus Says Trump Won’t Run Third Party

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said he does not think Donald Trump will run as a third-party candidate, The Hill reports.

Said Priebus: “I don’t think he’s going to do that. I think he knows that if you’re going to beat Hillary Clinton — if Hillary Clinton is going to get beat, there’s only one party that’s going to beat her: It’s the Republican Party.”

Trump couldn't beat any Democrat for President. He knows that. Everyone knows that. He's just window dressing for the Jeb Bush or Walker background fundraising campaign.

TPTB, are fucking terrified that "The Dumb" will be a factor in the GOP's nominee selection, and likely kill any chance of a republican winning the White House in '16.

Trump is not going fo fade away as hoped, and now is truly a loose cannon on deck. He blindsided the kingmakers, neutralized 9 figure super PAC's. Now no one knows what the GOP's nomination convention will puke out, but, it will be good for our side.

If the Repukes reject him, Trump will want to be the kingmaker/queenmaker.
