Can this be true? Miami Republican congressman posits Donald Trump candidacy may be Democratic plot
"I think there's a small possibility that this gentleman is a phantom candidate," Curbelo said. "Mr. Trump has a close friendship with Bill and Hillary Clinton. They were at his last wedding. He has contributed to the Clintons' foundation. He has contributed to Mrs. Clinton's Senate campaigns. All of this is very suspicious."
A Trump spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment regarding Curbelo's remarks. But the Florida Democratic Party, which had chastised Curbelo in a statement before the interviews took place, did.
"The only thing more absurd than Donald Trump's conspiracy theories is Congressman Carlos Curbelo's theory that he is some secret Democratic plant," Communications Director Max Steele said. "Curbelo's bizarre claim is an insult to the intelligence of his constituents and goes to show just how much damage Trump is doing to the Republican Party's brand. Unfortunately for Curbelo, Trump is only gaining in the polls.
"It's time for Congressman Curbelo to take off his tinfoil hat and give an honest answer about Donald Trump and his bigoted remarks."

I don't think the Democrats OR the Republicans are that smart, but if true and if it keeps a conservative out of the White House I'll eat more vicious words and thank Mr. Trump for his service to the country.
Nothing scares me more than right-wing social conservatives being appointed to the Supreme Court.

I think that it is probable. He has already speculated on a third Party candidacy this go-round; that could only serve as a spoiler drawing down support from the GOP candidate.
