So as to hopefully keep cohesion in votes.

Run as a Republican, pick up Bobby Kennedy jr, make the Republican ticket unstoppable.

That would be 3D. He should run as a Dem and primary Biden.

Would love to see he and RFK, Jr. team up and run 3rd party called the American Party.

It would destroy the uni-party whore and their media pimps in one election cycle.

The people deserve it now!!

The Democrat party left him. The Republican party is trying to leave him. Are you saying he should run as independent?

Serious answer-

After the Clinton, Bush and Obama years, the Democratic Party was completely lined up for Hillary Clinton; and there was nobody in the Republican party.

Trump had always been an East Coast Democrat, with fairly liberal social views, and a strong focus on Capitalism. None of that changed when he ran, he simply entered the Republican party and did a good job articulating his points to the working class (the deplorables). He's not about smaller government, he's more about streamlining and efficiency, which is the capitalist model.

At this point, he has a power base established, so it makes little sense to change parties. He's not reliant on the party, so no reason to confuse potential voters. Nobody realistically sees a new party emerging to replace one of the Big 2, so for any chance to win, you have to be D or R. He is tied to the R.

Pretty much.

Being the GOP nominee guarantees ballot access in every state.

If he goes third party, they will go full Obama and have enough signatures on his petitions disqualified to remove him from the ballot in key states.

because trump is a republican by todays reality, he is a true moderate democrat, wants to end wars and lower taxes, and he wants smaller government.

the question is, why do you support a candidate that paul ryan, the deep state, rinos, and the globalist MIC are supporting

So you'd love to guarantee Biden a 2nd term? Trump running 3rd party benefits only the democrats.

Why is DeSantis running?

Trump, backed by a ballot harvesting juggernaut, has a better chance of winning than Ron DeSantis who's side thinks election fraud is a myth and ballot harvesting is therefore unnecessary.

Because independents don't get votes. Unless you're Ross Perot and those were different times.

Why is this board repeating the same attack threads every single week on Trump?
