As I predicted a long time ago:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/12/08/poll-trump-cruz-rubio-clinton-sanders/76948760/
The candidate who is smart enough to recognize that this election is unlike any other in our history and runs as an independent has a good chance to win.
The candidate who realizes that the Republican party—after stabbing their voters in the back in the last two consecutive historical elections—is dead to many Republicans and bolts for an Independent party will likely win.
The candidate who realizes that the Obama-Democratic party is dead to many democrats but will vote independent will likely win.
Let's see if Cruz or Trump is smart enough to ditch the "we will never support a conservative" establishment RINO party and run as an Independent.
Here is a chance where record numbers of blacks, Hispanics, and other democrats would vote conservative if he were an Independent.
Kill two birds with one stone: A conservative president and the destruction of the RINO party!
