RNC Circulates "Loyalty Pledge" to Candidates-Hopes to Ensnare Trump
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 9/2/2015 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 09/02/2015 6:01:35 PM PDT by conservativejoy

The Republican Party circulated a loyalty pledge to the 17 presidential candidates today.

** The Republican establishment is far more interested in the candidates pledging support to the party than the party’s pledge to the people.

Even Bill Kristol thinks this is foolish.

Trump should offer his own pledge to the party. He should force them to sign a pledge to support him when he wins.

UPDATE: Trump will meet with RNC leader Reince Priebus tomorrow

If Trump is elected he should lay out his schedule, speak in Congress and if he does not get things passed use his office to get rid of opposition if they want his agenda through.

That is what most Presidents should do IMO.

The RNC should have to sign a pledge to quit stabbing everyone but their preferred candidates in the back.

We’ll know by November.
That’s the Texas primary registration.

Either Trump is in as a Republican or he isn’t.

No Republican or 3rd party is going to win POTUS without the Texas electoral votes.

People have to wake up to the fact that it's not the people but the delegates that pick the nominee.

Hillary already has a bunch on the hook.

I’d require the RNC to sign a pledge to support their constituents and their platform. Unless they change the leadership, they are traitors to the party as far as I’m concerned. Not a dime from me until they do. And I would support Trump just to see them convulse.

The nominee can recommend a new party chairman. If the GOP wins, the party chairman stays. Who will Trump pick when he gets the nomination?

I'd sure like to be a fly on the wall in Trump's office when Priebus tries getting Trump to sign the "pledge."

Oh boy would I!

They kick him out of the debates when he’s a solid tidal wave front runner, and the gop is utterly finished.

Trump is going to dump the rinos and wrangle the nomination from the democratic party....as Hillary will be toast. Just saying.

I think signing it would be a mistake. They plan to do anything, including cheat, to keep him out. I’ve said that more than once and I have no doubt they will pull something. If he doesn’t sign and they kick him out of the debate, I can’t wait for that storm to roll in...

I still say he could run 3rd party and win. He’s pulling voters from every direction, Republicans are not the only ones sick of the status quo in DC. Right now he would pull near 1/3 of the Republican party, plus who knows how many Democrats and Independents, and if they squeeze him out with this play, many more will join in. If the RNC puppet gets the nomination, more than that will stay at home.

Everything they have done so far shows the RNC has turned against the people. It’s clear at this point we are sick of career politicians, instead of getting behind the current leader in their party, they want to push him out even if that have to cheat. He already knows the RNC won’t support him if he gets the nomination, that couldn’t be more obvious. So why should he support them?

This was a bad idea. When Trump refused to cave in at the first debates it got him more support. Now they want to try the same thing again...just plain dumb...
