TRUMP FOCUSED EXCLUSIVELY ON FIGHT FOR “REPUBLICAN” NOMINATION

|| By FITSNEWS ||  Billionaire real estate mogul and reality television star Donald Trump is not interested in pursuing the White House as an independent.  Should he run, Trump will seek the “Republican” presidential nomination.

“Mr. Trump is a Republican. He is seriously considering a run for the presidency as a Republican,” Trump advisor Sam Nunberg told FITS. “Mr. Trump has broad and wide appeal across the GOP ideological spectrum. He believes in a strong economy through free market solutions, tax cuts, repealing Obamacare on day one, a strong and well-funded military, life, traditional marriage, protecting the Second Amendment and making sure that we keep our commitments toward taking care of veterans and their families.”

Trump fueled speculation that he might seek an alternative potential pathway to the presidency during a visit to early-voting South Carolina this week.

Specifically, he bashed GOP establishment frontrunners Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney in no uncertain terms.

But Trump also ripped the candidates who appeared with him at the 2015 S.C. Tea Party convention in Myrtle Beach, S.C. – an early gauge of conservative support in early-voting South Carolina.

“I have been looking at who is running and they are no good,” Trump told an overflow crowd at the event.

Later in his speech, Trump assessed how the presidential prospects who attended the event might fare in a general election matchup against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

“The people I’m watching you interview – they don’t stand a chance,” Trump said.

So … if Trump isn’t down with the GOP establishment candidates and has no use for the current slate of Tea Party prospects, why would he run as a “Republican?”

Wouldn’t his wealth, celebrity and outspokenness be much better suited for an independent presidential bid? Especially seeing as such broad swaths of the GOP electorate dissatisfied with its leaders and ready to bolt?

Seriously … is he not looking at the same polls we are?  Ones that show surging support for independent voters?

Apparently not … or if he is, Trump is viewing them within the context of a GOP primary.

“He is an independent thinker. Should he run, Mr. Trump will be accountable to the GOP base and not the ruling class,” Nunberg told FITS.  “Mr. Trump is the sole candidate who can take on the establishment because of his success, profile and the ability to self-fund.  Should Mr. Trump run, he will unite the party, go the distance and make America great again.”

Interesting …

Why the hell are you taking him seriously.

He’s like T-Rav, except that he has had some success on his own after getting a major leg up with his daddy’s money.

He’s still a total douchenozzle, with zero chance of getting the nomination to begin with.

Because calling Trump a fraud and a joke is cognitive dissonance for the wealth-worshipers among the libertarian and conservative ranks.

What most people see is an annoying blowhard attention whore who only made it because he was lucky enough to be born into a wealthy family, and that the wealth was sufficient enough that it could “forgive” his multiple failures before he finally figured out how to not be a loser.

What “wealth-worshipers” see is “an intelligent, hard-working guy who clearly must be of the greatest value to society because gold-plated airplane seat belts.”

Big T and Flip is an experiment in self love. Maybe a new class for non-traditional marriage. I really think it is hilarious when they congratulate their collective selves on the points they made. My only question is how does GT decided when to take off his Flip clothes and put on his GT clothes only to find out they are the same clothes. Could this be a case of multiple personality disorder? Except the personalities are twins.

Talk about delusional bullshit. You’re seriously attributing the results of an election to points YOU made? Even Trump’s ego isn’t that big.

They aren’t against cronyism, corruption or tyranny, they’re just against the notion of gubmint cronyism, corruption and tyranny. Privatize all of that and they’ll trip all over themselves trying to either defend it outright, or give a half-assed excuse as to how the free market will correct itself despite glaring real-world examples where it fucking doesn’t.

Seriously, I don’t know 1 libertarian or Libertarian that likes Donald Trump.

There’s not cognitive dissonance associated with calling him a fraud even if he is wealthy. There’s lots of wealthy frauds about.

The only cognitive dissonance I see is where someone accuses libertarian to be wealth worshipers when their cause celebre is less/no gov’t.

That libertarians “worship wealth” is a liberal talking point to help disguise the fact that liberals generally speaking hate wealth(for others).

It’s easier to ignore independents. If he runs as a Republican and spouts the typical right wing rhetorical garbage Fox News viewers clamor for, he’s guaranteed limelight until he inevitably drops out of the primary.

Trump is so full of BS that he even makes Grand Tango and Flippy seem like rational thinkers. Of course he won’t support an Independent bid, because people who then support him will hold him accountable. If it talks his game in the context of the GOP field, he can back out at the last minute after Rand and Jeb and Mitt and Marco and Christie all go to NYC and kiss his fat behind, then picks one and says – “yeah, they have the right stuff, no need for me to run now.” If a woman was born with three heads and two sets of boobs Trump would promote her at his casino just to turn a buck. He’s Barnum without the circus – because he is the circus.

Most of these new so called”Independents” are nothing more than Republicans who don’t like to call themselves that because the party itself is so screwed up.

They all vote pretty uniformly Republican but will occassionally vote for a Democrat or Libertarian ,particularly for some insignificant office where they do not stand a chance.

This great surge of “Independents” is an illusion.
