1. Trump has a lot of leverage right now because he can threaten to go independent. But what if that move were used on him.

9. So, my leverage scenario won't work. It's like GOP has been kidnapped by the Joker. Story won't end till the Joker gets tired.

@HeerJeet Yeah, so, like I said, it's best for the GOP to take Chait's advice and let - and encourage - Trump to do his third-party run.

@HeerJeet Trump voters are the target here. Either demoralize them so they don't vote in primaries or give them a non-Trump champion. -
@HeerJeet GOP's best play here would be to bear-hug Cruz and let him win enough primaries that Trump drops out. Then throw Cruz under a bus.

@HeerJeet Hmm, this might be the extra bit for my Trump-as-classic-Penguin thesis: He's a fusion of Burgess Meredith, with Ledger's joker. -
@HeerJeet Though at this point I think he really does want to conquer the world, not simply watch it burn. - Show replies
