The first state deadline isn’t until May 9 in Texas, which requires roughly 80,000 signatures for ballot access.
The next deadline is in North Carolina on June 9th, where 90,000 signatures are required.
The bulk of states have an August or September deadline, with various signature requirements or filing fines.

however, he could take his base and tell them all to basically not vote due to corruption, or go 180 and back hillary just for the purposes of sending a message to the RNC and suck it up for 4 years.
Its best not to underestimate his petty vindictive nature.

The issue is that NY is up next April 19th...He will win NY on April 19th
On April 26th...Conn Del Maryland PA RI
He will do reasonably well on the East Coast vs Cruz
He doesn't have contests on the west coast (where he will know for certainty if he has a chance at 1237) until mid may and june.
So...it's hard for him to go independent with NY on the table and some other encouraging polls on the east coast.
He would have to declare independent during a winning streak on the east coast in order to get on the ballot in time in TX.

So he'd basically tear up his signed pledge not to run as an independent?
Who would want a guy that'll break his own promises when it suits his agenda?
