Donald Trump is "totally pledging" his allegiance to the GOP and promising not to mount a potentially damaging third-party bid for president.
The billionaire businessman said Thursday he had signed the Republican National Committee's "Loyalty Pledge," which says he will support the eventual nominee and not run as an independent or on another party line.
"I will be totally pledging my allegiance to the Republican Party and the conservative principles for which it stands," said Trump.
Trump made his announcement at the Trump Towers lobby in New York City after meeting with RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. While many had expected Trump would sign the pledge, one GOP source stressed this morning that, "With Trump, nothing is certain until it's final."
Trump was the only GOP presidential candidate not to raise his hand at last month's debate to pledge he wouldn't run as a third-party candidate.
Depends upon what the definition of “Republican Party is” is....
lol
as if anyone should believe this
If Donald Trump is the Republican favorite, a 3rd Party Candidate is the only option...
Why not believe him? Trump didn’t have to commit, heck his poll numbers were rising without that commitment. I believe him.
If it looks like a fraud and smells like a fraud, it’s probably a fraud.
You guys make FR negative and boring.
People were posting “in before xxxx”
Lol
Now it’s “in before Geron”.
and the conservative principles for which it stands,”
WOW.......
And that one principle would be what?
NPR writer didn't watch the debate. Trump was the only candidate to raise his hand to the question about refusing to agree to that plan.
“You guys make FR negative and boring.”
I’m getting really tired of it.
I believe the GOP will procede above board...haha..can’t keep a straight face.
Mr. Trump, in the unlikely case you fail to win the Republican nomination for 2016, I have another proposal for you, which you will CERTAINLY WIN.
RUN FOR MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY against the commie liberal, Bill De Blasio in 2018.
I guarantee you will win in a landslide.
“You guys make FR negative and boring.”
Well, I’m sure there are Trump forums that are all puppies and rainbows that you can escape to...
Good Lord you trumpoids and your messianic zeal make the obamabots look less worshipful of their flawless god.
Perhaps if Trump wins he will pass a law making it illegal to criticize him. I'm sure the trumpoids will celebrate its passage, while the rest of us have no choice but to remain respectfully silent.
Trump pledged marriage oaths to how many woman?
He does have a way out of this in the future, I said pledge allegiance to the GOP but never said so about the GOPe!
