    This is great news IMO

    He’ll run on his own Freedom Party ticket and we’ll get a 3-party election. Oh no, now the rightwing votes are split. Bummer!

      Much more likely at this point that he just wins the nomination. There is still time for that to change, but nothing that indicates that it will.

      Republicans are too spineless. Realistically trump will threaten to run third party, and they will forgo the primaries and hand him the nomination.

        Isn’t that a little unconstitutional? I know that hasn’t stopped them in the past, but just straight up cancelling a vote of the people is more blatantly fascist than I’d expect from even them.
