Wouldn't surprise me if there will be another big surprise just after the R Convention. Will separate himself from the R party? Will he disavow his connection to the R party and all that are connected to the R establishment? Will he say he is an independent and will run as an independent? Will he disavow any help or financing from the R party?

DT realizes he wouldn't and couldn't have gotten all of this publicity (free) to date, without being in the R debates. But soon, he will drop the party like a rock. He is about to pivot, but not the pivot the R establishment has prayed for. DT is a user.

Will the R party then contest his name being on all 50 state ballots with an R before his name?  DT has a lot more to gain (Bernie supporters) by publically and emphatically stating that he is now running as an INDEPENDENT, which most have said, he has always been from the very beginning. Talk about party politics getting out-sneaked. I think a lot of people, L & R wing, would love this tactic.
