Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that she might not endorse former President Donald Trump even though she signed a Republican National Committee (RNC) pledge to do so.
Anchor Kristen Welker asked, “Have you moved to a place where you’re no longer planning to endorse him?”
Haley said, “Well, I think, first of all, if you talk about an endorsement, you’re talking about a loss. I don’t think like that. When you’re in a race, you don’t think about losing. You think about continuing to go forward. What I can tell you is, I don’t think Donald Trump or Joe Biden should be president. I don’t think we need two candidates in their 80s.”
Welker said, “Let me try it this way. You did sign a pledge, an RNC pledge, to support the eventual nominee. Do you still feel bound by that pledge?”
Haley said, “I have always said that I have serious concerns about Donald Trump.”
She continued, “The RNC pledge, I mean, at the time of the debate, we had to take it to where would you support the nominee, in order to get on that debate stage, you said yes. The RNC is now not the same RNC. Now it’s Trump’s daughter-in-law.”
Welker asked, “So you’re no longer bound by that pledge?”
Haley said, “No, I think I’ll make what decision I want to make, but that’s not something I’m thinking about.”

The follow up question: So Niki, you are in favor of age discrimination?
The pledge is purely on the honor system.
If you have honor you keep it.
It you don't.....
The only semi-viable third party candidate is RFK Jr. and we’ve been hearing less and less out of him.
Yeah they tried to crucify Trump with that pledge even though he won BIGLY! See how Nikki is like a Rat who will change lie to suit her selfish needs? She said she only agreed to the pledge to be able to bet on the stage as a candidate. They should bar her just for that.
Ronna ran off with the family jewels.

I see. So we add Ronna to the long long list of people Trump has mistakenly endorsed.
But no matter. He’ll do much better in his next administration. So much better.
We can debate all of his choices endlessly—some good, some bad—but Ronna was a thief.
fixed it for you.
“ How was Trump bound by a pledge that he REFUSED to sign?”
Of course he refused to sign it. He was the only one it was meant for
Bound or not, what does it matter, Trump did not accept the pledge so is not part of it and she has no obligation to support him. Anyway, it’s all moot at this point.
Again you are wrong. The pledge was meant to entrap and manipulate the also rans. If they didn’t sign - they could not debate or even get some RNC campaign funds.
It was meant for Trump? Sure was. To HELP Trump.
Double Standard. Everyone else had to make a pledge. But not Trump.
The only candidate they wanted to be bound by the “pledge” was Trump.
You appear to be showing symptoms of TDS.
I see Nikki headed the same direction as Michael Steele.
She’ll be on MSNBC vilifying the RNC and Trump every time she’s on tat network. She’ll become the democrats favorite ‘former republican’ and favorite ‘former republican candidate’, and most favored ‘assistant democrat’.
“ Bound or not, what does it matter, Trump did not accept the pledge so is not part of it and she has no obligation to support him.
**********************************************************
Well DUHHHH… it was a condition to participate in the debates. Trump did NOT participate,
That’s not the way I recall it. Anyway, everyone else agreed to it, Trump did not. So he’s not part of the pledge and it is whining to complain that Nikki Haley won’t now pledge to support him after months of his insults and name calling.
We can only hope, and that goes double for the GOP.
I don’t support Nikki. Not as president or as VP. Nor do I have TDS. I’m simply pointing out the inconsistencies people are making as to why Trump got a free pass, but Nikki didn’t.
So her written pledge is worthless. It’s almost like I get to vote for George Herbert Walker Bush again. Written pledge, read lips, in RINOLand, none of it matters.
“ It was meant for Trump? Sure was. To HELP Trump.”
Thanks for the laugh. Mondays are too much In my neck of the woods
Who would you like for us to pretend came up wit something to HELP Trump
Never happened.
