Amid mounting concerns about Donald Trumps candidacy from the GOP establishment, Republican leaders in at least two states have found a way to make life a lot harder for him.
The Virginia and North Carolina parties are in discussions about implementing a new requirement for candidates to qualify for their primary ballots: that they pledge to support the Republican presidential nominee and not run as a third-party candidate in the general election.
The Virginia proposal has earned the support of Ken Cuccinelli, the states former attorney general and 2013 gubernatorial nominee, who has been promoting the idea to members of the state party central committee. He has also been in touch with [party Chairman John] Whitbeck.
Anybody who wants to seek the Republican nomination should have to commit to supporting the ultimate Republican nominee, Cuccinelli said in a Monday interview. I dont see anything wrong with that.

Agreed.
But also, you'd think that they would look at WHY Trump refused to raise his hand on this issue in the 1st debate: because he KNOWS that they won't play fair with him. Thus, he (being a great negotiator) isn't going to give up his trump card (pun intended) to force those corrupt bastards to play at least somewhat fair. This very proposal demonstrates beyond any doubt that the GOPe is STILL not willing to be fair - they want what they want, and will stop at nothing to get it...which only FURTHER ENFURIATES THE GRASS ROOTS.
GOPe, you should take heed - play fair, and show that you ACTUALLY are listening (i.e. change your ways), or the tidal wave will drown you.
The last political loyalty oath was from the Nazi party. GOP leaders might want to rethink that one.
The GOPe should think this thru. If they try to change the rules and cheat Trump out of the nomination. The GOPe will lose the presidency and possibly house and senate. They would be much better off with Trump as prez and holding both houses, than being under the thumbs of Dems.
Wouldn't put it past them.
Trump needs to stand his ground...

how dumb is dumb???
Now I’m at the bottom of it....the teaser they have is the header you quoted..but when you go to that link....or go to your link...it’s the header I took a screen shot of.
I still say the teaser headline is absurd, but at least i know where you got the idea.

They can’t beat him, so they’ll keep him out of the vote.
That will just backfire on them.
We are witnessing the historic disintegration and extinction of the Party of Lincoln, right before our eyes.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch.
