Trump is third party

Every national election, and especially after the two choices left in this election, many people cry out for a third party candidate! The thinking is that it would offer at least one more person to pick from, but I submit that Donald Trump is that third party candidate! While he is running as a Republican, he does not represent the GOP values, nor platform, therefore this election is as if there is not Republican nominee. In fact, it is as if Donald Trump defeated the Republicans from being elected during the primary. The two-party system we have now is already diametrically opposed. Small or big government; pro-life, or not; lower or higher taxes; free market or free stuff. The choice should be clear with just two parties that hold to their sides of the issues. A third party just blurs the lines between the two, and that is what Donald Trump has done. The Republicans, never thinking he would win the nomination, did not want him to run as a third party and take votes from their party’s candidate, which would lose the general election for them. Little did they know he would become their candidate and lose the election; or even win, but without many Republican values in tact. The choice in this election is Democrat Hillary, or Third Party candidate Donald Trump. Take your pick.
