Third Party Candidate

John Leboutiller, ex Republican congressman….”Is it too late for a third party candidate?  There is still a month for another candidate to step in.  Either Republican or Independent.”   Pat Caddell, long time Democrat and pollster…”The Democrat’s are eating the Republicans lunch.  Hillary is quite beatable and Republicans are wondering if they picked the one candidate who cannot beat her.”

Here’s the situation. Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus is checking with State Party leaders to determine their Trump support.  Remember, before the convention the rules committee meets.  They can change anything they wish.  Then it goes to the convention floor looking for a majority vote.  The never Trump movement, gaining strength, would like the committee to open it up for a floor vote on unbinding delegates during the first vote. Most think it won’t happen.  However, another bad drop for Trump in the polls along with key money people withdrawing support is the key.  Money is always at the heart.  At present there is little.  Democrats have put in close to a billion dollars in commercials in the battle ground States.  Republicans have next to nothing.  The “eating their lunch” comment is apt here.  This was the maneuver that beat Romney.

Word is more and more people, both Parties, say they want a 3rd candidate.  Don’t believe it can’t happen.  Trump’s campaign is in chaos.  His children are advising him. But, the truth is Trump will continue to make mistake after mistake.  He cannot be trusted.  His thin skin and arrogance will always cause dumb off message comments.

The opinion here is that it is better than 50-50 that Trump will have opposition soon or at the convention.  Anybody’s guess as to who will be the chosen one.  But, it has to be someone with massive name recognition.  Word is if Trump feels he may lose, in any sense, he will quit the race.  His ego will not tolerate a loss.

As he contemplates his VP choices most feel it will be Newt Gingrich, Scott brown, Rudy Guiliani or long shot Sen. Jeff Sessions.  The best thing Trump could do is name a cabinet soon….Chris Christie for Attorney General, Rudy Guiliani for Homeland Security and Dr. Ben Carson to head Health and Human Services.  This would help.

Of note…Loretta Lynch was forced to retract from hiding the Orlando killers Islamic statements.  And, yet, they never quit.  She (Obama) changed Allah to God in the released statement.  Author, Phd. and Republican pundit Monica Crowley made it clear last night….”Obama’s father was a Muslim…his step father, Lolo Soetoro was a Muslim and Obama spent years in Indonesia where Islam is thee religion.”  It had enormous influence upon him obviously.

So now we wait.   If and when will movement come?  I say it will come.  Sooner or later. The future of our Country as we once knew it is at stake.
