Donald Trump may have pledged his allegiance to the Republican Party Tuesday night, but he's still got a long way to go before his options actually close on running as an independent. Ben Schreckninger reports:
Donald Trump could campaign for the Republican nomination well into March before deciding to ditch the GOP and mount an independent bid for the White House.
According to a POLITICO analysis, the obstacles standing in his way are few, so long as he’s willing to spend seven figures to secure a place on the ballot. In fact, more than two-thirds of delegates could be awarded before the window would begin to close on an independent Donald Trump campaign. [...]
“Knowing Donald Trump as I do, everything is negotiation and every negotiation can be renegotiated,” said former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele.
Yep. Never say "never" when Trump's involved. Just ask Roger Ailes.
