RUSH: We've got Trump, big meeting between Trump and Reince Priebus. Trump is apparently going to sign the pledge that he will support the Republican nominee, big meeting at Trump Tower after which Trump will have a media availability to explain what happened. Governor Christie signed his in public today. On Fox News, he was guesting with Martha MacCallum, and she demanded that somebody bring the pledge out. And somebody, some stagehand brought the pledge out and Christie (imitating Christie), "Yep, signed it right here, yep, yep, yep. There you go, put the date on it, damn right, I'm in there."
What is this, loyalty oaths? How about the Republican Party signing a loyalty oath to the voters? If there needs to be a royalty oath here, it seems to me that the Republican Party elected officials would finally get around to signing one that they are gonna be loyal to their cause and loyal to their voters.
Now, I'm not trying to stir things up here, but what is this? They say this is an attempt to entrap Trump and get him to promise he won't go third party and all that. I don't know if these people think this looks good or they're running some kind of a scam or trick on Trump. But as usual, they're overthinking this, because they're discombobulated.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You know, this pledge business, folks, I have to tell you, I think the Republicans are making another mistake. They think they're winning big here by getting Trump to pledge he won't go third party, but what's really happening? What's really happening is all these others are at the same time pledging they will support Trump. That's much bigger news to me than the fact that Trump won't go third party.
You know why Trump won't go third party? Third parties don't win. Trump, if he's in this for real, he wants to win. Third parties don't. But what's happening now is that all these other Republicans are pledging to support him if he gets the nominee. This is classic, not realizing what they're doing moves by the Republican Party.
As promised in previous Rush Thread
What good what it do?
They SWEAR to up hold the Constitution already....we see where that gets us.
Didn’t Hitler require loyalty oath’s?
No Way, Rush! GOP Pledge Is Worth NOTHING! We, the voters, have learned from experience!
That would interest me a lot more than getting Trump to sign something he might honor. We have been poorly served by our congressional leadership.
Anybody remember Lisa Murkowski? When the media achieves orgasm, Trump should mention the method she used to get around the primary she lost....
Thanks Kaslin. I appreciate the ping.
So Rush thinks Trump played the GOP. LOL
Trouble is they’re politicians. Politicians are liars. Liars don’t have a problem making promises they don’t intend to keep or taking oaths that they don’t intend to uphold. That’s what makes them liars. And lying is how politicians get elected. Repeatedly.
How about a signed, legally binding contract from GOP candidates and elected officials that they will keep their campaign promises if and when they are elected.
that's crazy talk...
How about the voters holding them to account by voting them out of office? A loyalty pledge by a class of congenital liars isn’t worth the scrapings off the bottom of my shoe.
Why the hell shouldn’t ALL of the candidates vow not to pull a Teddy Roosevelt and hand the election to the rats?
The others are signing it because they think they can pull a fast one and prevent Trump from getting the nomination.
Even better. How about an “oath to protect America”? That would leave out almost all of the Democrats.
Republicans and Conservatives would win by a default.
