Again Mr. Brilliant, all he said that he had to be treated FAIRLY, and he also followed, that he was, at that time, not being treated fairly, but never said that his desire was to go 3rd party.

“and then observed that the RNC’s actions (or lack thereof, I suppose) in the Saturday debate demonstrated that the RNC was in violation of the “loyalty pledge” they required Trump to sign. Trump then announced he was considering breaking his own half of the pledge, an obvious allusion to a potential third party run.

Alluding to, and outright stating are two different animals.

Here is a clip of what he actually said. He said only that he would have to respect the nominee. Apparently the fact that the voters would have chosen the nominee was not enough for him.

He did not say anything about being treated fairly at that time. He added that in a subsequent debate after he came under intense criticism and reversed his initial refusal to commit. Then he later repudiated that, claiming that he was treated unfairly.

So it was a very unloyal performance on his part, yet his supporters now complain that others are not loyal to him now that he’s the GOP nominee. Once again, the world’s smallest violin is playing in the background.
