Question..
Hypothetically, let's say, Trump continues to thrash the repup primary competitors. In the process he gains repub establishment support as they increasingly fear that he will actually be the nominee. That becomes a self-reinforcing loop which totally sinks any hope that any competitor has a chance.
He wins the nomination. Big. Really big.
Then, because the strength of his candidacy and popular support is that he is really a populist and anti-party elites / anti-establishment.
Could he then decare himself an Independent?
