Will there be a Conservative third party candidate? (vote, Democrats, Republican)

[emm74]

Conservative donors have engaged a major GOP consulting firm in Florida to research the feasibility of mounting a late, independent run for president amid growing fears that Donald Trump could win the Republican nomination.

This would certainly shake up the race.

Bernie has pledged that he will not run as a third party candidate, so presumably this would mean an easy victory for either Democratic candidate.

Gary Johnson for the Libertarian Party is a good alternative.

Sounds good to me. I will have a hard time voting for Trump or Clinton, who are both liberal Democrats.

Sounds good to me. Bring it on.

If the gop old timers have their way at the convention, Trump will be the 3rd party candidate.

But the person will be a puppet/establishment who laugh at you behind your back. Why would you vote for such a person? Might as well just send your money straight to the puppeteer instead of voting for that candidate.

I disbelieve the part about looking for a "conservative" 3rd party candidate. Anyone the eGOP recruits to be the "conservative" independent option will be more liberal than Trump. The eGOP needs it that way.

Sore loser laws will keep Trump off the ballot as a 3rd party candidate.

God I hope so. I and countless others who see Trump for the liberal fraud he is would vote for a third party conservative candidate
