Uh oh: Did Trump forfeit his South Carolina delegates by breaking his pledge to support the nominee?

It’s moot at the moment: it’s impossible to support or unsupport a nominee until there is one. Pretty meaningless, really.

Made up story.

[Raycpa]

Wouldn’t the written contract take precedence over a subsequent oral contract? In other words, can Trump void his written promise orally?

[onyx]

NO!

"Weirdest election ever, except for 1860."

It is about time to get the popcorn ready and kick back and have fun watching the festivities. If Trump, Cruz, Kasich, Hillary, or Bernie are the best this nation can offer for its highest office, we are indeed screwed and deserve whatever befalls the nation.

[LucienCA13]

Perfectly distilled. It really is that simple.

[Defiant]

If so, who would they go to? Cruz and Kasich won’t pledge to support the nominee, either.

[miss marmelstein]

Give them to Cruz who also broke the pledge.

[Nifster]

If he did then so did cruz

According to the first paragraph of the above article:

“So that’s why Cruz won’t give a straight answer when he’s asked if he’ll break his pledge over Trump insulting his wife. It’s not about proving he’s a “man of his word.” It’s because, as usual, he’s well-versed in the rules and Trump isn’t.”

• CNN 3/29: GOP candidates back off pledge to support nominee (CNN)Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich all stepped back from their earlier pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee during Tuesday night's CNN town hall.

  However...

• Time: Trump’s Threat on Pledge Could Cost Him South Carolina Delegates (Break Pledge, Lose 50 Delegates) If this is true then Cruz and Kasich lose their delegates since they are on record as saying they would not support the nominee!

  Related:

• Marco Rubio has contacted Republican Party officials in states where he won delegates and asked that those delegates remain committed to him at the GOP Convention in July.

That would be the problem of the people who Trump is surrounding himself with.. I can only presume he would pick the same inept people to surround himself with as President. ‘Doesn’t bode well.

[X-spurt]

Cindy, don’t read the article? Its South Carolina. DONEald got all the delegates, so no one else can give up any......

[X-spurt]

kind of nonsense is actually trying to help Hillary be president

You are not the first to wonder what Trump REALLY is up to.

[X-spurt]

Free delegates go wherever they wish.

[CottonBall]

Cruz got ZERO delegates out of SC.

So this author’s spin that Cruz was so brilliant that he couldn’t give a straight answer and prattle on like a typical politician is contorted. Ridiculous actually.

[Iowa David]

Those 50 delegates will Vote for Trump on Round 1.

They will then vote for Cruz on Round 2.

I thought Kasich and Cruz both waffled on the pledge as well. So I guess nobody gets SC delegates?
