Correct. And this article is about them working to prevent Trump from being the eventual nominee. So why did YOU bring up the "loyalty oath" in relation to this article? Sounds like your post was off point...
I respectfully disagree. They did NOT expect Trump to be the eventual nominee and this caught them by surprise. If Trump signed an oath to support the nominee, the flip side is the GOPe should support whoever the nominee is.
It shouldn’t be “GOPe: We’ll support the nominee unless it’s Trump”.
