Two weeks ago on Fox and Friends he was talking about endorsing a GOP candidate, now we get this again from Trump, talk of a possible ‘Independent’ run which would guarantee Obama’s reelection
Real estate mogul and television host Donald Trump told Hotsheet Tuesday that he may enter the presidential race as an independent in May if “the right person doesn’t get nominated” by the Republican party.
“Come May, when the Celebrity Apprentice is completed, my contract to NBC is completed, I’m a free agent, as the expression goes,” he said. “I can make a decision. You know, obviously it would have to be as an independent.”
Trump said he would be forced to wait until May to enter the race because of equal time laws, which he called “ridiculous” in light of President Obama’s ability to travel the country on the taxpayer’s dime. (The law mandates that if one candidate is given time on a network, that network “shall afford equal opportunities to all other such candidates for that office in the use of such broadcasting station.”
Too late, Donald… you couldn’t afford the cut in pay. Fuhgeddaboutit
That’s the problem with US and UK political systems – that are so out of date that they cannot cope with a third or more candidate from parties outside of the duopoly stitch-up and offer the voters a wider choice.
This would work out better under the French system, where you get a runoff if there is no one with a majority. Anyway, I assume Trump is just trying to influence the Republican primary and wouldn’t actually follow through on this.
I like his contribution by way of HIGHLY POPULAR MEDIA, WHICH IS FOX NEWS ON GRETA,
I’m sure he has many listeners too, he says things that are the right words, which the CANDIDATES CANNOT GO THAT FAR BUT SURELY LIKE IT.
WHY NOT IF HE WANT TO RUN, WE CAN USE ACTION AS WELL AS THE DEMOCRAT MEDIA ARE DOING with allegations TO PUT DOWN THE CANDIDATES
DONALD WOULD BE A DETERRENT TO THEIR EFFORTS ALL COMBINED TO THE GOAL OF REELECTING OBAMA,
what’s good for the geese is good for the gander,
how about REDISCOVERING THE TRUE AMERICA,
THEY TRIED SO MUCH TO DESTROY
Poster boy for narcissism. Not sure he could even get enough votes to assure BHO’S election.
Those Republicans who have decided not to participate in Trump’s debate are making a big mistake. By not participating, they will likely lose a chance of obtaining his endorsement, and goad him into running. If Trump runs, he will draw independent votes from Republicans and Obama. What effect this will have on the election is hard to predict.
