Donald Trump: Since RNC 'In Default,' Pledge Now Voided, I 'Can Do What' I 'Have To Do' To Win
Breitbart Big Government ^ | February 15, 2016 | Matthew Boyle

HANAHAN, South Carolina -- 2016 GOP presidential frontrunner Donald J. Trump tells reporters here that his pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee is now void because the Republican National Committee, along with local and state GOP factions, is stacking debate audiences with donor class officials.

"The RNC is in default," Trump said at the press conference. "Just so you understand, the RNC is in default. When somebody is in default, that means the other side can do what they have to do. The RNC is in default."

Trump's point is that the RNC has defaulted--through its actions against his candidacy--on the pledge he signed earlier in the cycle, and his point is that because they have defaulted he can do whatever he wants.

IMHO, it's possible that Trump is preparing the groundwork to run with Bloomberg as a "3rd Party" candidate, if things don't go his way.

Good. The RNC stinks and I love to see Trump standing up to them.

There is no way Trump would run with Bloomberg. Trump is doing what he always does- angling for advantage.

Ha, ha, ha, Trump has placed the RNC in default of the deal. That will show them to play cute at the debates by stacking the audience with the donor class. Now, he is a free agent.

I listened to what he said - the article headline is misleading.

...Mister trump will run as an indy, in order to split the vote and lose the election to the DEMS.

...Something so obvious should be obvious to otherwise good and intelligent folks.

TRUMP is PEROT!

In case no one has figured it out yet, Trump is a giant gasbag.

This guy is really looking for an excuse to hand the election to Hillary. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he does go third party.

After his last debate performance I think it may hurt Hillary as much as the GOP candidate. He appeals primarily to former Democrats who are not really conservatives.

I agree... I’ve thought from the beginning he would end up 3rd party...

No he isn’t.

He’ll run with someone else. He’ll run with John McAfee.

Cruz’s donors & PACs said they will rob Trump at a brokered convention.

Dogcatcher Rubio wants to go for a brokered convention.

Jeb’s PAC is happy that Cruz is closer to Trump.

Jeb wants a brokered convention and thinks he can somewhere be the candidate.
