The problem with folks that want to run independently is that they assume they will draw votes from both sides of the aisle. That is a fatal mistake.
The fact of the matter is a candidate is running independently because they find the party environment restrictive to their moral content.
In reflecting on the increase in interested viewers for the first Republican debate; the increase was over 3.5 million which are the number of people that viewed the first Republican debate last year. So, for the sake of argument, lets just say there is another 3.5 million that are not American voters for whatever reason they are not. But, also keep in mind within the new number are the 3.5 million that tuned in last year. So, if we discount those not voting in the American elections and assuming the viewers last year are traditional establishment voters (which is a big assumption) that leave 24 million - 7 million and a total of 17 million new viewers to the first Republican debate. They tuned in to see the master of celebrity do his thing.
Let's call that 17 million Donald Trump supporters. As supports that might be coming to a new venue for elections in the USA they probably aren't registered voters. Knowing that should provide a venue for the Trump Campaign to ask for voter registration from their new supporters. While parents and children were flying in a helicopter around the fairgrounds, the Trump staff should have the next set of parents filling out voter registrations for the upcoming elections.
Registering voters is a bipartisan issue and should provide no controversy.
Now. For whatever reason Donald Trump believes he is not being treated fairly he can leave confident his new supporters will follow him. If the 17 million is an indication of the people prepared to vote for him, he should win handily as an independent.
However.
There is another hurdle to Donald Trump that was brought out by FOX News Sunday. While he is at the top of the polls today, the question was asked who these same people (GOP voters no supporters) would find qualified for the presidency. The person at the top of that poll was Jeb Bush followed by Marco Rubio and then by Hillary Clinton (Hillary has some work to do to remove all the skepticism for the love of her country and dedication to preserving national security). That means the polls Donald Trump is enjoying today is about his celebrity with a willingness to hear what he has to say to steal the ideas that seem to work for the RNC.
The FOX News polls basically shows Donald Trump ahead, but, unelectable. The ability to be elected is a real commodity and when the voters go to the polls in primaries the question is while they like Donald Trump will they vote for him to be their nominee. That is the question only the Trump staff can answer for Donald Trump when they conduct their own inside polls.
