Trump should have went 3rd party right from the beginning! If it becomes apparent that he will fall short
of 1237 he should immediately take that route maybe in late May when he can get on all significant state
ballots. In a 3rd party run he will take contributions from supporters and the take would be huge. The only
reason he may not reach 1237 is that though he's financing his own campaign he's Scottish & I know how
tight the Scots can be, he hasn't put out the dough he easily could have to cement the nomination.

As a 3rd party candidate he'll easily be 34% solid & remember in May 1992 the polls read Bush 34%,
Perrot 35% & Clinto 24%. Donald Trump is a full bore cultural phenomenon Perrot was not.
I can see it now November 2016. Trump 35%, Clinton or Sanders 34%, Ryan, Kasich or Cruz 25% with
5% the libertarian Johnson. Trump will not let them take the nomination from him lying down!
