Trump takes back pledge to support GOP nominee
Politico ^

Posted on 03/29/2016 7:31:13 PM PDT by springwater13

Donald Trump has rescinded his pledge to support the Republican nominee for president.

Asked by moderator Anderson Cooper if he stood by the earlier pledge, Trump said: "No, I don't."

"We'll see who it is," he said during the CNN town hall.

He said he had been treated "unfairly" by the Republican National Committee and the GOP establishment. He said he was unsure whether the Republican establishment was plotting to take the nomination away from him during the convention in Cleveland.

He also said he didn't need Cruz to promise to support him should Trump win the nomination.

"I’m not asking for his support," Trump said.

"I don't want his support, I don't need his support, I want him to be comfortable," Trump said, taunting Cruz for dancing around the issue of whether he would support Trump if Trump were the nominee.

Did Cruz not have to take that pledge also since he says he won’t support Trump either?

Hmmm...and there I thought the picture of Melania was and ad for GQ. Guess the Donald is embarrassed seeing his wife nude NOW, but wasn’t embarrassed to see it on the COVER of GQ.

OK, I withdraw my previous statements about voting for Trump if he wins the nomination. What a relief, thanks Mr. Trump.

“So it is fine with you if the voters choose him and the party chooses someone else? At this point that is the only way he is not the nominee.”

If he doesn’t have 1,237 delegates at the time of the convention then the voters did not choose him. A plurality chose him. After the first ballot, all bets are off.

The GOPe met in secret with rich DEMOCRATS a few weeks ago in Georgia. Topic on the agenda was “stopping Trump.” It’s far past time for Trump to remind the GOP that this is a two way street. For instance, he is free to endorse 3rd party Senate candidates. I wonder how the GOP would like them apples?

That's right, the corrupt leftist/Marxist in the MSM and the D.C. disciples of deceit of all strips are treating him fairly and honorably. It's all above board and legitimate.

The GOPes and establishment have been conspiring against him for months. No wonder he feels targeted. I would also be upset.

Can’t say that I blame him, after the way he’s been treated. Good luck to the wreckage of the GOP!

I can’t blame Cruz.

Can you back any of that up? The "wife" and "family" parts?

Ted was asked in the prior hour and wouldn’t commit so why should trump? The party has no intention of keeping its promise. In fact, it’s doing everything it can to stop trump.

Good, the divisions are getting clearer. We are distancing our selve from you and the rest of the gopE. It turns out your agenda was exactly the same as obumbers: One World Order.

Well said. And now we are hearing from some handwringers about how it was better before Trump, it was amicable, candidates were "presidential" and behaved and stuff.

The handwringers would prefer the old way, two choices, good cop and bad cop. That way America could slide into the abyss with dignity!

Stop trolling, you embarrass yourself. You know damn well Trump did not start any of that “wife” stuff. Cruz and his GOPe colors are revealed for all to see; you just don’t want to acknowledge it.
