A person who is as viciously rude to others as Donald Trump is cannot legitimately expect them to “back him.” If they don’t publically work against him, they’re being pretty decent.

When you make a pledge to do something, you do it...Or you are admitting that you are not an honest person....

Trump was not “viciously” rude to anyone UNTIL they attacked him...What surprised them is that he didn’t back down...he gave MORE than he got...Which is the way it should be....

‘Viciously rude’? What, as opposed to syrupy sweet knife in the back rude? Seriously???

Seems each of those you support were equally as rude, and now shown, once again, to be liars and politicians. Seems you have an ethics issue as bad as any liberal: I’ll do what I want and FU if you don’t like it!

So why did Jeb sign the pledge? Was it a ruse to prevent Trump from running as a third party or was it based on a desire for party unity?

Jeb, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham and any of the other wannabbees not enthusiastically endorsing Trump are not honorable. If they didn't take signing that pledge as an irreversible commitment to the eventual nominee, they' should not have signed it. How is their character any better than hillary's?

Yes. The Bushes have had nothing but good things to say about Donald Trump!! They welcomed him into the Republican Party as valued donor who was a welcome addition to the excellent field of candidates. They never ran a single negative ad against Donald Trump. It is simply inexplicable why Donald Trump has been so mean to the Bushes.

This is the pledge that they demanded Trump sign, which was also signed by every candidate, including Bush:
“I ______ affirm that if I do not win the 2016 Republican nomination for president of the United States, I will endorse the 2016 Republican presidential nominee regardless of who it is,” the document, on R.N.C. letterhead, states. “I further pledge that I will not seek to run as an independent or write-in candidate nor will I seek or accept the nomination for president of any other party.”
No wiggle room. No "as long as he's nice to me" clause. A signed promise. Jeb violated it.

!Jeb! doesn't have to give a gushing endorsement. He could simply say in his low energy voice Of course I'm voting for Trump, he is our candidate and be done with it. But no, he has to make a stand and tell us that he will be voting for a conservative. The funny thing is, he doesn't know what a conservative is being that he isn't one. Remember when he said that he could win the GOP nod without conservatives?

Perhaps your sympathy should be placed elsewhere, not with this toad and his globalist family that brought us both Clinton and Obama.

Listen Snowflake, nothing....NOTHING...is more rude than dishonoring a pledge. What if an elected President, after taking a vow/pledge to protect the country, didn’t like, Ohio, should s/he not equally protect Ohio?

A pledge is an honorable vow.

I’ve never seen such a generation of snowflakes...faced with the truth, or plain talk, the just wilt, spinning off to find a “safe space.

Doesn't matter how rude Trump was/is. A pledge is a pledge. One of the reasons one signs a pledge is because it usually requires making a difficult choice or committing to something, as in a marriage, or in a loyalty oath. Jeb lacks the courage and the strength to stay true to a pledge. His word means nothing.

If that was the case, why didn’t Jeb insist on it being a clause in the pledge he made?
