Christie says no one has given him a loyalty pledge to sign
The RNC's loyalty pledge is a hot issue in advance of the first GOP debate.www.politico.com
Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie said Sunday he has yet to sign the party’s loyalty pledge because no one has given it to him.
“I haven’t been presented with the pledge yet,” the former New Jersey governor said on ABC’s “This Week,” adding he thought the Republican National Committee was still verifying that he had enough donors to qualify for the event. But in answering the question Sunday, Christie did not say whether he would sign the pledge when he received it.
Of course not. Why commit yourself one way or another as a political candidate? Who did they think he is, Donald Trump, or someone else with balls and integrity?
Trump has yet to commit to taking part in the debate, and last week he said he wouldn’t sign such a pledge in an interview in which he criticized rivals Christie, Hutchinson and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis by name. “I wouldn’t sign the pledge,” Trump said on Newsmax. “Why would I sign a pledge if there are people on there that I wouldn’t have?”
Christie said he was not surprised that Trump has neither committed to the debate or the pledge yet. “He plays misdirection all the time,” he said.
The misdirection is Christie saying "no one has presented it." No doubt one of those technically true, but misleading statements. He may have asked staff not to show it to him so he could give that answer. It may be on his desk right in front of him, but no one has come in to open the envelope and present it to him. So it is not such a mystery:
“I affirm that if I do not win the 2024 Republican nomination for President of the United States, I will honor the will of the primary voters and support the nominee in order to save our country and beat Joe Biden,” reads the pledge, according to copies shared online by some of the candidates.
The pledge is a dumb idea, at least the requirement to sign it to be allowed to debate. Keeping Trump out of the debate means virtually no one will watch it. We're talking CNN-like ratings.
Democrats won't care without Trump to obsess over and why would GOP voters want to watch Republicans who hate Trump debate Republicans who want to be Trump's VP while the DeSantis debates the moderator?
I think you have more to worry about with who the democrats are going to install in the WH--here's a hint--it won't be Biden.GOP now needs a loyalty pledge. That means that there is a serious problem within the party between two fractions.
This won't help Trump win as the party will be split and the other side may not vote which will lower voter turnout.
SO is this loyalty that they have to kiss the Don's hand and repeat "In Don we trust"
Still this is a clear sign that there is a split and it is us against the Don
I think you have more to worry about with who the democrats are going to install in the WH--here's a hint--it won't be Biden.
