An aide from the Donald Trump presidential campaign warned the Republican National Committee Tuesday against GOP donors pooling funds to coalesce his rivals against him, suggesting that Trump would reverse his pledge not to launch a third-party candidacy if he felt he was being treated unfairly.
Michael Cohen, who serves as special counsel to the billionaire Republican candidate, told CNNâs Chris Cuomo that it would be a "bad, bad decision" for super PACs to unite against Trumpâs candidacy.
"Donald Trump wants to be treated fairly," Cohen said sternly. "He will demand the GOP treat him fairly."
Cohen's comments came a day after Trump tweeted frustrations with the the Republican Party over former GOP strategist Liz Mair's proposed efforts to "defeat and destroy" the real estate celebrity's presidential bid.
"If they treat him fairly, he will honor the pledge because heâs an honorable guy," Cohen told Cuomo. "If they break that agreement with him, as they say, 'woe be on them.'"

Thought so.
Just a suggestion. It appears to me, there are a segment of Cruz supporters on this site, who seem to come down pretty hard on Trump.
I would just remind you, the two candidates seem to get along quite well so far, and I just would like you to think about that before jumping in and criticising Trump.
You of course are welcome to do what you will, just that is my thought, maybe you can wait until the two candidates go at it, to actually criticise Trump.
I’m sure the two of them will have it out.
At some point. But they haven’t locked horns yet.
Trump does not mind being attacked by any of the candidates.
What he is objecting to is a unified effort by the RNC and the other candidates to attack him as one block especially when many of those candidates have no chance of winning.
They are attacking out of spite not because they think they will win.
Lets just hold the elections next week.
America needs an expert at the helm, not a deckhand.
I was responding to that.
I see Trump himself and many Trump supporters criticizing other Republican candidates, often quite harshly, more harshly than I see Trump being criticized by other candidates or their supporters.
And what you wrote has nothing to do with that.
I see Trump responding when he is criticised. Big time, sure I admit that. It is sort of refreshing actually.
I don’t see Trump initiating conflicts, ordinarily.
Don’t see it.
But the RNC has not done so. Kasich's campaign may do that, or Liz Mair's group, but that is not the RNC.
Of course not.
The GOPe is dead. They either figure it out early or late.
I love you Charles but it is time to give up all the ghosts.
If the Liberals take 2016 this Nation is gone.
I agree. If Trump runs third party and Hillary wins, it will be the end of the gop.
Maybe you missed it, but I said I support Cruz. I want Cruz to be President. He is not a liberal.
I don't think Trump will win the nomination, but if somehow he were to do so, I think the Democrats would win big-time.
“Why is it okay for Trump to attack Jeb, Rubio, Carly, Carson, Kasich, etc., but no one can attack him?”
The difference is that it is the Republican party attacking Trump.
[but if he goes 3rd party then I am with him, not the GOP]
If TRUMP is forced to go Independent, TRUMP supporters will stay home on Primary Day causing the loss of many conservative GOP candidates for congressional, state,and county levels.
If it comes down to a decision between the RNC/GOPe and Trump, I’ll go with Trump. I am not going to hold my nose one more time for the team. I’m hoping he won’t go independent and that Cruz or him (or a team) will go forward, but there is no way in Hell I’d vote for Rubio, Bush or Kasich.
Another automatic loss because there is a huge part of the republican party that does not vote when a rino is the choice.
This time they also destroy their party because the base has had it enough to leave and make a 3rd party after so many betrayals and if you look at the poll numbers you can not pull enough rino votes this time to even get in the 40 percentile......that is what should scare them. Either way they are done.
At this point, why anybody with half a brain is Republican is beyond me. They must be masochistic to tolerate the verbal abuse handed out by the GOPe. Ever since President Reagan left office, GORe has moved steadily leftward; given us one squishy moderate after another and told “hold your nose”. All the while, trashing Conservatives at every opportunity.
The GOP has become one wing of the Democrat Party. I hope that Trump bolts and runs third party. Anything to hasten the demise of the Whigs will benefit us.
I have been serious about voting for Hillary if the RNC succeeds in disenfranchising my primary vote.
It may be that Trump simply insists on winning, and the weaklings are being exposed as weaklings.
The GOPee can’t say this is because Trump ain’t a true conservative, because if Cruz was ahead they would go after him because he is a true conservative.
The Gopee and Boss Hogg Haley went after a conservative and brought in Dems to vote against him.
Gopee is worse than anyone thinks
Trump took the OATH, but that OATH GOES BOTH WAYS. The GOPee
wrote the OATH and so they must honor it themselves
