Everybody who signed on to that pledge knew all the possible outcomes. Some of them meant to sign a pledge that inclouded "except Trump," and were gambling that Trump would not be successful.

At this point, I wouldn't want an endorsement from any of these untrustworthy people. They are proven liars in a deal.

Politics is the business of alliances.

This is true in abstract but totally inoperable when it comes to Cruz and the rest of the globalists. Cruz will not be making any alliances. He is a sociopath who wants to run for President in 2020. The rest have millions of dollars at stake, trillions even if we count their sponsors, and will not stop until Trump is eliminated and his voters suppressed.

The only thing to do is to fight them and win.

Trump was referring to at least seven GOP presidential hopefuls who signed a loyalty pledge to support their party's presidential nominee and have since declined to do so. Such candidates include former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, businesswoman Carly Fiorina and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

The word of each of these people "ain't worth spit".

That includes Ted Cruz.

I agree with you.
However his biggest problem until the convention is this GOPe back-biting.
Maybe a more humorous approach would work.

Mr Trump -— Keep your eye on the damn ball.... What is with you? Do you have ADHD or something.

Somehow you feel you are an expert political strategist. So maybe you should send your views to Trump.

I personally feel, as a voter, the more trouble these GOPes cause, the more I want to vote for Trump. These GOP sore losers have shown themselves to be corrupt men with no honor.

You don’t mind that walker backed a “pathway to citizenship,” for foreign invaders?

Agree. Based on some of the responses you’ve received it’s as if the gang at FR is running the Trump campaign. Good luck with that Donald.*

*Voting for and supporting Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Hoping his campaign strategy improves.

You’re being silly.

GOPe is someone who belongs to the donors not the voters.
A vast gap has developed between GOP voters and donors.
Open Borders is the largest part of it but there are many other differences too.

Name the last election in which so many influential party members overtly undercut their own nominee.

Trump needs to move on and focus on the Democrat Party nominee. He has the GOP nomination
sewed up and his focus needs to be on winning in Nov against the Democratic nominee.
Who gives a flip as to what Cruz, Kasich, etc do at this stage? The democrats are now
the target and Trump needs to begin focusing on them. Get to the eight or so swing states
and win them.

You are a worthless SOB if you go back on your word. Kasich, Cruz, Bush , all need to support the winner and bite their damn tongues and shut the hell up in public. That is what real men do. These guys act like spoiled little brats and punks.

Yep. These people are not even gope nor rinos they are democrat operatives and must be treated as such. Until they proved different. I don’t want any of them allowed anywhere NEAR the convention where they can pull shenanigans.

He did not expect punks, brats, sore losers, etc. Businessmen do not act like punk, politician, cry baby, attorneys.

The “moaning RINOs” is a problem for Trump:
“... How will Donald Trump’s positions and rhetoric be treated by journalists who think of themselves as nonpartisan and subscribe to these professional norms? The big thing determining if his assertions are treated as in the sphere of controversy or rejected as belonging to the sphere of deviance is whether other prominent Republicans support him on a daily basis.

If they do, journalists will feel obligated to treat Trump as a normal candidate. They will cover both sides of the issue equally — such as whether Mexican immigrants are rapists, if Trump can build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it, or if the US should ban all Muslim immigration. Trump’s view would be treated as the Republican position and the other side as the Democratic position.

In Hallin’s terms, these issues will be in the sphere of controversy. However, if national Republicans regularly fail to agree with Trump and often criticize him, his positions will be treated as in the sphere of deviance...”

Of course the media wouldn’t be fair to him anyway but this makes it easier to demean him and his (our) issues.

because each person makes their own choice whether they will be a person of their word or not.

Has nothing to do with what anyone else does or has done in past.

Each choice is a new chance to be honorable, for anyone and God blesses extra those who are honorable.

1 Chron 4:9-10.

We, as a people, in the USofA need to stop letting what others do sway our thoughts or move/shake us to lessen our abiding in the character God is instilling in those who follow Him, like respect, honor, responsibility etc.

pledge to support their party's presidential nominee

We should wait until the Convention, and when Trump is the nominee, then those that made the pledge should honor it. Technically it is too early to claim that they have violated their pledge.

‘I don’t want any of them allowed anywhere NEAR the convention where they can pull shenanigans.’

You are SO right! And after more of his mealy-mouthing Trump-fragging, it would be ideal of McConnell could be barred from the convention with extreme prejudice as well. He’s on Hillary’s team; let him attend the Philly shindig.
