Even if he disregarded the RNC's piece of paper, he has still damaged himself. If he went against his word, Trump would not be able to talk about anything substantive for the rest of the election, just defend his actions. Over and over and over and over again. Trump should have gone 3rd party. The RNC wanted this very, very badly. VERY BADLY. Its they're only useful weapon against Trump.

Hope I'm wrong.

I’m sure Trump is not doing this without something in return. At the very least all the others would have to sign the same pladge I would think. At the most, Trump would have a “fairness” clause in it.

Yes, the GOP did want this, but more than that they had to prove to their own handlers, and money changers at the CoC, K Street, Wall Street, Establishment donors that they could be seen flexing some muscle and find their shorts, small enough to fit their gelded condition.

In other words this is the GoP trying to keep their own fat out of the fire, but all of us know they haven’t a prayer of EVER pulling off hoop training successfully against Donald Trump.
