COMMENTARY | Donald Trump will moderate an upcoming Republican debate and may potentially run as a third-party candidate, according to Fox News. When these two points are coupled with certain actions of his earlier this year, I have come to believe "The Donald" might actually support President Barack Obama. The reality star might actually be the greatest agent for the president.
A moderator of a debate is able to steer the direction of the evening. The moderator decides who gets the most time to speak and what each candidate is able to speak about. Someone who is working for the president could do a ton of damage to any of the candidate's campaign. This argument is not enough to point out how Trump might be an agent for President Obama, but it is just the tip of the iceberg.
Trump has also stated how he might run under a third-party ticket if he does not like the candidate chosen by the party. Logic would state that a third-party Republican would hurt the GOP's chances as the extra candidate would take votes from the official party candidate. How convenient for President Obama.
Earlier this year, the billionaire theatrically hinted at tossing his hat into the presidential race. He quickly jumped to the top of the polls until he began pressing the birther argument against the president. He drove the argument into the ground and became the target of jokes from the Democrats and Republicans. One of major potential arguments about the president's legitimacy died with Trump's campaign.
Many of the presidential candidates have met with the real estate mogul in the last five months. Michele Bachmann's campaign went off the tracks soon after their meeting. Rick Perry lost his position at the top of the polls soon after meeting with the "campaign adviser." The first harassment accusers against Herman Cain came out just days after he traveled to Trump Tower. Newt Gingrich will meet with Trump on Monday. What will happen to his campaign?
Granted, Mitt Romney met with Trump as well, but it was the only candidate meeting out of the eyes of the press. No cameras were allowed to run during the private meeting. While this could be a coincidence, it might not be. Nobody has done more work for President Obama than Donald Trump. How will he hurt the Republicans next?
