Well appearantly he's not to fond of the republican field since he's chosen to run. If he was satisfied that one of the other 8 guys could do the job he would be supporting that guy not running against him.
ABout him saying he won't run as an independant? That's BS he will. first of all he HAS to say he won't. He still thinks he's got a shot at the GOP nomination. You don't say "Well if you fuckers don't support me I'll just run as an independant anyways".
The people that are suporting him now will DEMAND he run as an independant. If he believes in what he is doing so strongly how can he NOT run. Also there is the posibility of the Libertarian Party nominating him which would actually make it easier for him to get on the ballots in all of the states.
Siphoning votes from the right? If only 5% of republicans suport him now how many votes from right could he possibly siphon off in a general election?
