You’re right. The pledge thing is ridiculous. It’s really a confession - the person we’re planning to nominate is so unpalatable that we must insist that you endorse him now before we you tell you who he is.
The whole pledge thing sounds so, 3rd grade..Like the election can’t continue unless every candidate promises(Pinky promises) to support the winner. If I were running against these guys I would only say I would 100 percent support Cruz, Trump, Carson(I thought he did really well) and thats it..the other guys, not really impressed with at all..so what are they going to do, BOO me off the stage, go to my house with pitchforks demanding I support the winning candidate
