I'd bet that Trump would endorse Miller if he loses the Republican nomination unless Trump takes over the ticket with Miller's blessings.

Then again, they were set up for Pat Buchanan and they did nominate a former Democrat last time.

Virgil Goode was a special kind of Democrat. Like Larry McDonald. Goode even voted to impeach Clinton before he was ever a Republican.

I don't know that the Constitution Party would actually agree to nominate Donald Trump. Especially since Ted Cruz lines up with them much much better. Then again, they were set up for Pat Buchanan and they did nominate a former Democrat last time. I dunno. Seems more likely that rather than running third party, Trump just endorses Joe Miller if Cruz ends up taking the nomination. Miller ends up getting 10% in Alaska. Maybe 5% everywhere else, depending on how much Trump campaigns.

The very real possibility of the CP receiving matching federal funds in 2020 would be more than sufficient enticement.

The Idaho CP chairman says that Joe Miller has backed out: http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/2016/04/joe-miller-jumping-into-constitution-party-presidential-contest/#comment-1346565

The CP's nominating convention is this week. Looks like they'll get stuck with some nobody unless somebody else steps forward soon.

Tom Hoefling (the guy who tried to primary Branstad in 2014 but only got 17%) is still running.

Minister Scott Copeland won the Constitution Party's Idaho primary. JR Myers, who's run for several offices third party, is also running for the Constitution Party nomination. There's also Constitution Party of California chairman Don Grundmann, and John Diamond, who doesn't seem to have done anything truly notable.
