Trump the Spoiler

"Don't tempt me!"
Gold Toilet Aficionado Donald Trump says he may mount a third-party run for the presidency if the Republican National Committee isn't "fair" to him.

"The RNC has not been supportive. They were always supportive when I was a contributor. I was their fair-haired boy," the business mogul told The Hill in a 40-minute interview from his Manhattan office at Trump Tower on Wednesday. "The RNC has been, I think, very foolish."

Pressed on whether he would run as a third-party candidate if he fails to clinch the GOP nomination, Trump said that "so many people want me to, if I don't win."

"I'll have to see how I'm being treated by the Republicans," Trump said. "Absolutely, if they're not fair, that would be a factor."

So this puts the Republican Party leadership in a great position. They can either indulge Trump's heinous foolery, and risk ending up with him as their nominee, or they can do whatever possible now to derail that potential outcome, and risk ending up with Trump as a spoiler who siphons off conservative votes during the general election.

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus called Trump earlier this month asking him to tone down his controversial rhetoric.

...Yet he is connecting with a significant chunk of GOP voters. And despite criticism from party leaders and other presidential candidates, Trump appears fueled by controversy.

And Trump knows damn well that criticism is rank hypocrisy: "I'm not surrounded by all sorts of pollsters and PR people. I speak the truth."

Even Trump himself wants us to know that the outrageous shit he says isn't outside mainstream conservative thought; that it's squarely centered within mainstream conservative thought but unadorned with the carefully crafted rhetoric devised by highly paid strategists to make it more palatable to the average voter.

The Republicans just aren't sure what to do with someone who's willing to be honest about how disgusting their platform really is.

Whooooooops the monster you created.
