Trump takes back pledge to support GOP nominee
The Politico ^ | March 29, 2016 | Kyle Cheney

Posted on 03/29/2016 7:13:11 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Donald Trump has rescinded his pledge to support the Republican nominee for president.

"We'll see who it is," he said Tuesday during a CNN town hall.

He said he had been treated "unfairly" by the Republican National Committee and the GOP establishment. He said he was unsure whether the Republican establishment was plotting to take the nomination away from him during the convention in Cleveland.

He also said he didn't need Cruz to promise to support him should Trump win the nomination.

"I’m not asking for his support," Trump said.

The Republicans have said they would not vote for Trump. Cruz has said he would not. Why should Trump honor his pledge if the other candidates have broken theirs.

So if Cruz were saying this your comment would remain the same?

If they shove in a Jeb Bush or Paul Ryan, supporting that would be a complete farce and spitting in the face of the voters.

That would be so like the RNC to take a dump on the campaigns of all the front runners & their campaign workers and volunteers.

But then again, the RNC doesn't give a crap about the voters anyways.

Good. The GOP doesn’t deserve anything from Trump or Trump supporters.

Trump takes back pledge to support GOP nominee

What Pledge?

The GOPe conspiring with the Fox slut and other moderators, pretty much destroyed their implied part of the bargain almost immediately.

Eff 'em...

Can’t say I blame him with losers like Mitt Romney trying to steal the nomination away from him. These #nevertrump losers are a despicable lot.

The GOP is the party of Cruz, Romney and McCain,
liars, cheaters, backstabbers and enablers
of IRS abuse and IRS treason.

The GOP is MORE evil than the DNC because they lie
to their voters EVERY DAY.

Third Party. Conservative Party. Time to end this joke
of clowns, each and every one (including Cruz) run by Soros.

GOP does not seem interested in honoring their end of bargain...GOPe candidate, Cruz would not answer the question when asked yesterday, would only say that he is going to not let Trump win...Trump won’t win, etc.

Did all the candidates have to sign “the pledge,” or was just Trump required to? Clearly the establishment is planning to renege, which is as foul as it gets. Trump is free to do as he pleases.

Who can blame him

The GOP is in full attack mode to take him out and will do anything including backing Ted Cruz who btw has only about a 5% better chance with Trump than Bernie does with Hillary
