Reality check: Not many people actually care if failed candidates support the nominee
Canada Free Press ^ | 03/30/16 | Robert Laurie

When news outlets, pundits, and candidates start making a big deal out of the "broken pledges," remember; it's not much more than political noise.

Earlier today, Dan discussed the fact that each of the GOP’s 2016 candidates have abandoned their pledges to support the eventual nominee. It’s making headlines virtually everywhere and, if you believe the media, it portends doom in November. ...Except it really doesn’t.

You can tell by the circular firing squad that it’s pretty clear the GOP establishment is hell-bent on choosing a course of action that guarantees failure. However, if the party collapses in the general election, it won’t be because the losing candidates opted not to support the nom.

Why do only Republicans get asked these questions?

Has anyone asked Hillary if she will support Bernie?

Has anyone asked Bernie if he will support Hillary? This is actually a good question for Bernie because he’s not really a long term Democrat; he was elected as an independent and claims he’s a socialist. I would love to hear what Bernie has to say on this, but Hillary and Bernie never get asked these questions.

I never believed that this campaign could descend so deep in mud. Cruz & Trump remind me of two sabre tooth tigers fighting to the death in the Brea Tar Pits.

We know how that turned out for the victor and the vanquished.

When will reason and common sense prevail, or are we too far in the tar pits? I sense the latter rather than the former.
