Best Way to Beat Trump

According to Thomas Friedman in the New York Times the best way to be assured of Trump losing is if "a patriotic Republican on the right" runs as a third party candidate.

He's right. That would probably guarantee a split of GOP votes and assure a Dem. victory in 2020.

What do you think?
