I almost feel like this whole thing with Trump is a political setup to keep the Clinton's in power. Trump gets his greatest on TV role. Reps know they can't have him get the nomination. He runs as third party, splits the republican vote, Hillary wins. The only counter the Republicans can make is to have him their candidate, which would ruin the party in the long run. I feel like this whole thing is a big setup on the American People.
It will be the third election won by a Clinton due to a third party taking republican vote IMO.
Anyone else feel that way?

That is a common theory because while Trump is popular with part of the GOP he is repulsive to everybody else. Nothing would galvanize the opposition than Trump in the GOP spot. Most Americans are moderates and they would turn out in droves to make sure Trump was beat. It would be a crushing defeat that could lead to the death of the GOP which is why they are so desperate to get rid of him.
When you look at his recent past of being Hillary supporter, donating to her campaign, praising her, bashing on Bush Jr, and singing Obama's praises it is easy for people so see something nefarious in his sudden change of heart. However, this is Trump. He will say anything to get attention. And he does not expect to be held to what he says because he is Trump.
