NOT SNARK!
Millionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump has changed his voter registration from Republican to independent.
NBC is quoting Trump's special counsel Michael Cohen that Trump made the switch "in order to preserve his right to run as an independent" in case he is dissatisfied with the GOP nominee.
AP, via Wapo:
Special Counsel Michael Cohen said Friday that Trump could enter the race if Republicans fail to nominate a candidate who can defeat President Barack Obama.
Which pretty much guarantees that The Donald is in the race!
This is gonna be .... faaaaabulous.
Imagine a 3 way race between Obama, Romney, and Trump: 2 Republican zillionaires splitting the zillionaire vote. Then when Obama is re-elected, the GOP blames Trump, this avoiding the deep self-refection that is necessary for the party to actually get its act together.
And without such deep self-reflection, the Teahadists decide that there's nothing really wrong with their party or their message, so they don't change anything in 2016. And get creamed again.
I never thought I'd say this but ... Donald Trump, you are doing great things for the Democratic Party! Keep up the good work!
