This will be devastating to both political parties because all they will have left will be their hard core partisans.

Poll: 68% of Trump
Huh?

Math is hard for you it seems.

About 30% of all voters are Republicans (Independents and Dems make up the rest).

Of those, Trump has about 30%.

Of those 68% say they would vote for him as an independent.

That means, .3 x .3 x .68 x 100 = 6.1% of the populace has stated their support for him as an independent.

You think those are winning numbers in a general election?

Did I see on TV that congress and the president are in favor of a bill to limit immigrants from several different countries? Isn't it a little hypocritical to attack Trump than turn around and do the same thing by stating what they are doing in different words. I prefer someone who doesn't beat around the bush and honestly states what the problem is. I have no problem with what Trump says.

I do have a problem with what Bush says. Nobody breaks into a home or a country illegally just because they are our friends. I certainly hope I won't have to see his face any longer than a couple of primaries. He is not dealing with reality.

The Republican party needs to kick him out or they will be inexorably linked to every single stupid inflammatory thing he has said during this campaign.

Maybe FOX should have asked the Republican Party if they would be loyal to all the candidates running instead of whether he would not run as an independent if he didn't win the Republican nomination. Nobody is upset with Trump except all the other losers running. It is refreshing to see one candidate that is listening to the average citizen in America instead of their corporate sponsors.

Trump's habit of making offensive and outlandish statements will not bring Americans together. We need a leader who is ready for the challenges of the 21st century, like student loans. How will Hillary lecture me on the plight of the middle class when just a few years ago I finished paying off my student loans?

I commend you on your student loan accomplishment. That is one more accomplishment than the other Rubio has.

Im starting to think Trump could win this if he goes Independent. More and more Republicans are becoming more outraged and sickened over how RINOs are sounding more and more like PC, establishment democrats every day. They are sick and tired of their own party and I think they could very well turn on them, especially if they block or disqualify Trump and they will vote for him 3rd party. Especially if he were to take Cruz with him on the same ticket.
