With an ego equal to his fortune Trump wants to be kingmaker if he can’t be president. The two most powerful political figures right now are Trump and Ron Paul. A third party run by either could hand a second term to Obama. Will egos prevail or will they realize the destruction to the country another four years of Obama would cause?

George Will says watch for a Ron Paul independent run… Peggy Noonan says a Ron Paul independent run would “absolutely give the election to Obama.”

Ron Paul could be the salvation of the Obama campaign. If Ron Paul continues to poll strong he will be kingmaker in the GOP nominations and if he pulls out and runs independent it will assure an Obama second term. Charles Krauthammer explains. – Video

It ain’t over ’til the fat lady votes. In a new Gallup poll “Obama is closely matched against each of four possible Republican opponents when registered voters are asked whom they would support if the 2012 presidential election were held today. Mitt Romney leads Obama by two percentage points, 48% to 46%, Rick Perry and Obama are tied at 47%, and Obama edges out Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann by two and four points, respectively.”

Texas Governor Rick Perry, the new face in the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, has jumped to a double-digit lead over Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann with the other announced candidates trailing even further behind. – Rasmussen

“Obama White House and the Obama re-election team are going to work overtime behind the scenes to push enough of Texas Republican Ron Paul’s ‘libertarian’ buttons to eventually have him declare as a third-party candidate.”
