I knew it was a mistake for Trump to pledge to support the GOP nominee if he lose without demanding that they support him if he won.
“...without demanding that they support him if he won.”
Rush said he did as part of that deal.
The agreement is a two way street, they have to treat him honorably...if they do not the contract is void.
Many times people on this forum called for a Third Party to replace the ‘G’ OP. I told them we would need key leading figures to make that happen.
We are getting very close to that now as well as a constitutional amendment that allows official excoriation of corrupt and wildly unpopular politicians and judges in some strictly limited way. [More on excoriation in a followup post.]
Back to Third Parties ...
Looking back in history, even Teddy lacked the clout to replace the RNC with his Progressive Party. Thank God he failed, but being progressive was very popular back then.
Communication has come a long way since Teddy Roosevelt. Media power can come from credibility as much as money now.
If the RNC meddles with this primary in any significant way, Trump could convince talk radio to back him up in forming a new party. Get enough talk radio hosts together with Trump’s team along with other conservatives, debate on the internet, and they could negotiate a more accountable ‘By the People’ party system that decimates them in the next off-year election.
Rebellion IS on!
I thought Trump did the perfect deal with the Brett Baier/Megyn Kelly styled RNC trap.
He trapped them right back. He agreed if they agreed.
He would support the nominee, if the RNC played fair with him.
“Playing fair” gets to be defined by no one, but TRUMP.
Marvelous. Smart deal.
