I give Trump credit for raising his hand. He could have lied and pledged his fealty to any of the GOP candidates. He could then break the pledge any time he wanted just like any politician that breaks their promises and pledges.
Trump has said that it depends on the nominee and also on how the RNC treats him. As long as it is fair, no third party. It is his Trump card. It is also a clever negotiating ploy.
The GOPe and the pundits have ridiculed Trump's seriousness about running. Initially, they called it a stunt and that he wouldn't run. Then they said he wouldn't file the financial information required. Then they predicted his demise over illegal aliens and his remarks about McCain. No doubt his demise is at hand again with his failure to move away from keeping his options open as far as running as a Third Party candidate. Each time these dire predictions are made, Trump's poll numbers rise.
It will be interesting to see the new polls when they come out.
All but these need to go IMO....Bring Jindal up just to make it interesting.
Cruz
Walker
Rubio
Carson
Trump?
Honesty was as usual great for Trump...but he was set up and didn’t see 3rd party question coming.. right off the deck no less! He should have been prepared for anything as he knew he was going to be targeted. With that in mind I think he could have done better then what was seen and heard.
Kelly did go for the jugglar....it threw him and obvious so. Yes dirty pool but Trumps going to have to be better prepared with solid comebacks that “impress” not just swinging. I hoped he would be quicker on his feet but they did nail him.
His poll numbers may increase yet again after this...but I want to really see him “shine”....unless he really doesn’t have the ability to do so...I can’t believe he doesn’t???
