Any bets on how far into 2023 we get before someone renames the news cycle the Trump Cycle? Or how long until CNN creates CNNTRUMP+ — All Trump, All the Time? I give it until February. As the refugees who migrated to the MSM from the island in Lord of the Flies don loincloths, hoot, holler, and jump up and down around the latest bonfire, in this case, Donald Trump’s taxes, a far more intriguing question has emerged for serious politics watchers: will Trump run as a third-party candidate?
Trump posted a link on his Truth Social account to an article in American Greatness: The piece by Dan Gelernter, entitled

That would have the same result as Teddy Roosevelt running as a third party candidate. Taft wasn't much of a president but at least he wasn't Wilson.

If he does, I will probably vote for him. Just voting for the R is as sure a recipe for betrayal as voting for a democrat. We as a country are in this mess because we always voted for the "most conservative who can win". No more. I'm tired of voting for bad people because they are less bad, and wondering why we always end up with bad.

Trump should run as 3rd party. The worthless Republican Party is being run by McConnell & his faithful fake republicans followers…

If he did, then be prepared for the next dim President. He would only steal votes away from the Republican nominee, as did Ross Perot who ushered in Jimmy Carter. We only learned decades later that a brain tumor explained Jimmah's incompetence.

Sure, I support and want Trump to be the next President, but he won't win as a third party candidate and will only ensure the Democrats winning the Presidency and most likely the House and Senate. I hope he has the good sense of not doing that.

He'll run as a Republican. Regardless of 3rd, or 4th party, I'll still vote for him. If he loses, I'll still have the satisfaction of knowing that I voted for him. The more the Democrats, the liberal media, and the RINOs hate him, the more I'm compelled to vote for him.

he never was a "Republican" because he's too smart to get involved with that bunch of spineless dolts

He will have my vote regardless if it is 3rd party or Rep. I want him to stick it to McConnell in whatever way he can. McConnell shares the ruination of this country along with Biden and company! FJB FMM MAGA

Remember when Jed! Bush was losing out during the 2015 debates?
As he moved closer to the edge of the stage and Trump stayed in the center, Bush claimed, "Doesn't matter."
What that was shorthand for this article makes clear:
The GOP gives Republican voters a “non-choice” between candidates who have already been selected for the nomination.
And Trump isn't one of them.

Geez the media and Dems can't even wait til 2023 to begin tossing out the bait. We'd better have a plan in place and be big boys and girls. Gathering our marbles and going home or shooting our own allies should not be options unless our goal is curtains forever.

Might as well. The RINOs are running the show now anyway.

Before that happens he has other challenges ahead. I fully expect an indictment out of NY state for some "fraud" or other. And then the moment he leaves Florida he is fair game for arrest and a perp walk for NY authorities. His family is apparently in no mood for another run. Many of his associates are breaking away. He's left with his Grande MAGA Armee...and they will have a choice to make when the time comes. Many have none in mind. Will Trump be the 21st century Ross Perot? No rump 3rd party ever caused the election of a superior candidate, unless Clinton and Wilson are your idea of superior.

If the voters of this country haven't learned by now what eight years of demoslut rule would do to this country if the demosluts win in 2024 after what we've seen from the demolsuts over the last two years, then there will be no United States. Not only will the world be a more dangerous place, but civil unrest unlike anything this country has seen since the Civil War will take place. There are too many people who are not happy with the direction this country is taking and the increasing notion that the elections are rigged. No third-party candidate can win a national election. Look how Clinton won when a third party candidate ran in 1992. It split the Republican vote and the demoslut corruption train was unleased. We're still riding that train, and there are too many Republicans that are on board with it. Trump has been the only person to at least try and slow it down.

Good way to split the Republican vote and absolutely guarantee the rats a win. They could run Clinton and she would be our next president. Not a good idea.

Sounds like everyone here believes we have free and fair elections. It doesn't matter who we vote for, the deep state will make the decision for us. The US is no longer free, unless you're an illegal.

If so, it's a guaranteed Democrat victory in 2024. Taft vs TR is an appropriate parallel. Big mistake.

I learned my lesson with Ross Perot. BTW, he siphoned off votes from George H.W. Bush...ushering in Bill Klintoon, not Carter.

Sorry all. I'm about Trumped out. He would be an 80 year old GUARANTEED one term president.
He's already served one term. As good as he was (is) It's DeSantis time.

All the comments about how a vote for a third-party Trump would ensure a dem president make me laugh. What do you think happened in 2020? Do you still think your conservative vote matters in any way, shape or form? If Trump goes third party, which I hope he does, I will vote for him, and happily stick it to the Republicans who have been sticking it to the rest of us for decades.
And, #24, you need some new material.

Trump could run as a Cleveland Brown and he would still get my vote. He's earned it, like nobody else in this century.

Perot redux. Perot’s gift to the nation was the Clintons. Remember your history!
