Trump Signed the Pledge

[g5000]

By being party to this agreement, the Republican Party has just capitulated to Donald Trump.

 

[DarkFury]

He got a guarantee that he will be treated fairly. With his polling at 30% and his favorables above 60%, not treating him fairly would be suicide.

Question is now will Sanders run third party?

Trump signed - but Tom Brady wins the day!

 

[gipper]

He's a Republican --- his Pledge means as much to him as the Constitution did to Bush " it's just a piece of paper " ... he'll wipe his ass with both the pledge and the Constitution if it suits him.

Just like Big Ears and all the Ds.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Looks like Trump is beholden to somebody after all.

Ask Sheriff Arpaio.

He knows stuff - like IP addresses.

Nothing says bucking the establishment like doing what they ask you to do. We all know damn well that this pledge was aimed squarely at Trump.

 

[Ravi]

What if he wants to run as a Know Nothing?

sounds just like todays politicians .....

Yes, it was…. they got him by the balls… "if you really care about the country, you don't split the votes…"

 

[Moonglow]

If he later breaks the pledge - what would that mean? That he's a liar? Well, we already know that.

 

[G.T.]

He signed
It with his toes crossed

Its pretty funny that anyone would think he is not.

If he were not, he would not gotten this far on his daddy's money.

 

[Flopper]

He had no choice. South Carolina would not put his name on the ballot if he had not signed and other primaries would have followed suit. This was a shrewd move by the GOP. Signing removes the threat hanging over voters head of a third party run. If he didn't sign, his name would not be on the ballot of a number of primaries. GOP leaders are going to block him. They aren't going to go down in flames so Trump can play politician.

Ravi… we went through this many times… No president ever knew everything about everything. Presidents need the vision and experts they put in cabinet positions work out the details…It has been always like that…

If I was him I would told them to stick that pledge right up their whiz way. lol

Nope, because if he wins guess who the leader of the party is? Trump.

Then he would have shut himself out from SC, NC, Va primaries… he needs to run in those states' primaries...

Trump will now receive GOP campaign funds. He wants the money - since he isn't as rich as he claims to be.
