Donald Trump warned Thursday that if he leaves the Republican presidential race, the new voters he has helped bring to the polls would not stick with the GOP.
"If I get out, all those people are going. They're all going with me," Trump told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" by phone on Thursday.
Trump did not explicitly say he was thinking of leaving the party. When asked if he was thinking of an independent run, Trump said, "Do I want to? No."
Trump added that he still leads by a significant margin, but at the same time argued that, "I'm not being treated the right way." Trump has said for months that his pledge not to leave the party is conditional on how the Republican Party treats him.
But Trump said regardless of whether he leaves on his own or loses the nomination, the GOP would lose the "millions" of people he claims he helped bring to the polls. "Whether I ran as an independent or not, those people will never go out and vote," he said.
Trump made the remarks in response to questions about 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney's upcoming speech on the state of the 2016 race. Excerpts of Romney's speech indicate he will call Trump a "phony" and a "fraud" on Thursday.
Trump responded by insulting Romney on Twitter and calling Romney a "disaster" on MSNBC.
"He's a man who, as you know, begged me, and I mean begged me, for my endorsement four years ago," Trump said. "He failed at his campaign, it was a horribly run campaign, Republicans didn't even go out to vote. He was a disaster. The last month, month-and-a-half, he wasn't on television. It was almost like he was lost, and he ran one of the worst campaigns... in presidential history."

Somehow, I don't think the GOP would mind.

He's fighting fire with fire IMO and has the better hand.
They are holding a gun to the head of his campaign and he is just sent them an unconditional threat.
I did not think a few months ago Trump was 'all in' on this. He is now for sure after winning most of the states and being ahead.
So your previous analysis might be correct after March 15th. The powers that be in the GOP either get behind him or he is going to steamroll them.
For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8)

the Republican Party IS treating Trump wrong.
They're fighting for their survival and they'll sell out their brand to do it.
With luck, it's the beginning of the end of the Republican wing of the Republicrat party.
