  Oh man if he refused the endorse the nominee and ran third party that would totally own the libs.

  “It would depend. I would give you the same answer I gave in 2016 during the debates,” Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
  “It would have to depend on who the nominee was,” he added.
  Trump’s comments came shortly after former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R), a Trump critic who has said he is weighing a 2024 bid of his own, told Hewitt he does not believe Trump will be the GOP nominee but that he would support whoever the nominee is. >
  
  By “depends on who the nominee was,” he means he’d only endorse himself. >

  DeSantis is totally laughing at him, and telling people he's smarter. >
  
  Trump won't commit to accepting the results of any election. Why would he start now? >
  
  The headline-worthy news would be if he actually did. >
  
  He only endorses one person and that’s himself. >
  
  Is anybody surprised? It's one of the first things he said in 2016 that got the press in a frenzy, beyond calling Mexicans rapists. >
  
  As always, Trump only supports himself. >
  
  narcissist is still a narcissist. not news. >
  
  Thats fucking hilarious. A real life prisoners dilemna. Challenge trump and potentially lose his endorsement and thus the election, or let him run unchallenged again and gamble it all. >
  
  Trump: "It's all ME, ME ME ME, and ME some more; along with a topping of ME; and then a side salad of ME; and Yes, your hamberder topped with ME. " >
  
  
  and then a side salad
  
  Someone's been day drinking already.

  If he does eventually realize he won't be the nominee, and he decides to not run as a third party candidate....he will endorse the highest bidder....until the next highest bidder comes along. >
  
  Wow that's totally surprising, he's never demonstrated any petulance before. I just can't wait for all his patsies to start attacking the Republican primary process as "rigged". >
  
  Not only will he not endorse them, he’ll have a whole “stop the steal” narrative going >
  
  Excellent >
  
  Whole point of running is to create leverage. Not gonna give it away for free. 
  He'll want something in return, of course. >
  
  This is my surprised face. >
  
  Even if he commits to doing it.
  Does it matter?
  The man is a pathological liar. >
  
  I'm surprised his answer wasn't that he's endorsing himself. >
  
  Has he ever? >
  
  Pretty funny when we have a couple of prominent Republicans (Hogan and Sununu) admitting this morning that they definitely would support trump if he's the nominee.
  At current pace and trajectory, he's going to be the nominee. Republicans have winner-take-all primaries, which means that if the field is crowded (as in 2016), he wins ALL the delegates when he gets any amount of votes more than the next closest guy. If 10 other candidates split 70%, that could mean the lunatic 30% of the party (the bloodthirsty base) gets to choose. And they choose trump! >
