Amid mounting concerns about Donald Trump’s candidacy from the GOP establishment, Republican leaders in at least two states have found a way to make life a lot harder for him.
The Virginia and North Carolina parties are in discussions about implementing a new requirement for candidates to qualify for their primary ballots: that they pledge to support the Republican presidential nominee — and not run as a third-party candidate — in the general election.
…
The Virginia proposal has earned the support of Ken Cuccinelli, the state’s former attorney general and 2013 gubernatorial nominee, who has been promoting the idea to members of the state party central committee. He has also been in touch with [party Chairman John] Whitbeck.
“Anybody who wants to seek the Republican nomination should have to commit to supporting the ultimate Republican nominee,” Cuccinelli said in a Monday interview. “I don’t see anything wrong with that.”

The GOPE is just stepping in it left and right.
How about a pledge to tell the corporate lobbyists and cheap labor lobby to go to hell.
Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to guess how he’ll handle this.
Thats funny. The GOP Masters never pledge loyalty to those that voted for them.

You’d think they’d take an introspective look at why he’s resonating with the rank-and-file to the extent he is, and perhaps examine their own priorities.
Forcing someone to pledge loyalty to someone who is yet to be determined, is a lot like passing legislation to find out what’s in it. It’s not democratic at the core.
Any republican that proposes this loyalty oath should be run out of the party.

I would also very much like to see the GOP be forced to take an oath to fully support its nominee and his policies.
Anybody who wants to seek the Republican nomination should have to commit to supporting the ultimate Republican nominee,” Cuccinelli said in a Monday interview. “I don’t see anything wrong with that.”
In an email sent after this story was published, Cuccinelli sought to clarify his feelings about the billionaire businessman. “Donald Trump is an important candidate in the race for the White House and I don’t think he or anyone else should be blocked from running as a Republican,” he said.
How about being loyal to conservatives that vote your sorry azzes into office? FUGOP.
How about a pledge to not pervert and totally change the damned headline?
Trump: “What? A loyalty oath like they take in North Korea? Or in Nazi Germany?”
Unbelievable
For background, Ken Cuccinelli (non-GOPe) won the nomination for governorand the guy he beat Bill Bolling (GOPe) did not support him nor did the rest of the GOPe. Many actually supported MsAulliffe. The result: Terry McAulliffe is the governor, winning by a few thousand votes. I doubt he is pushing this as a direct challenge to Trump. I don’t know who he supports (possibly Cruz), but he is not GOPe.
Try enforcing it, GOP-E!
How about a pledge not to fund 0bamacare?
