“I [name] affirm that if I do not win the 2016 Republican nomination for president of the United States I will endorse the 2016 Republican presidential nominee regardless of who it is,” the pledge reads. “I further pledge that I will not seek to run as an independent or write-in candidate nor will I seek or accept the nomination for president of any other party.”
At least two campaigns reported they received a call from Katie Walsh, RNC chief of staff, asking if they would be willing to sign such a pledge.
The move is viewed as an attempt to force Donald Trump’s hand by forcing him to make clear his position on the issue.

Loyalty pledge. Heh.
Used to be only Democrats did that...
Or what? Piss off 30% of your people?
Excuse my language, but screw them. We should have made them sign a loyalty pledge when they put out fliers accusing Chris McDaniel of having ties to the KKK, and bribing black ‘rat voters to vote for Cochran in the run-off. The nerve of these azzholes, after what they pulled.
Loyalty to what? Which platform? What does the RNC stand for any more? I seriously do not know. I do not trust them like I used to.
My loyalty is to the United States Constitution, not to any political party, individual or group of individuals.
But the real hard part is yet to come....delegates switching from Jeb to Trump....
What are they up to?
Is that a pledge pin?!
I’m as loyal to them as they are to me.
But I remind them that nothing binds us voters.
GOPe GFY.
Watch what these same clowns do if Trump, or Cruz, is the nominee.
But will the RNC support the candidate that wins the primary? Would they support Trump? Cruz? They have shown in the past they will not support the tea party candidates, even preferring Harry Reid. Loyalty is hardly a topic of strength for the RNC, some times a RINO is just a hypo-—crite.
The GOPe are THE PRIMARY DEFENDERS OF LIBERALISM.
Nothing conservative can succeed because of the GOPe leadership banning conservative ideas and their support of liberalism.
The Really Not Conservative stands for getting elected and staying elected and for us peasants to 1. Vote for their nominees 2. Work for their nominees 3. Contribute to their nominees. 4. To smile while doing 1 through 3 and to stifle any criticism.
How fascist of them.
The republican establishment and political party needs much more than a loyalty pledge.
For starters they should demand a signed pledge in the form of a legally binding contract that anyone running for office as a republican will keep their campaign promises.
The only platform they have is the unspoken one, which they can’t openly admit, which is to support their globalist capitalist cronies in return for a piece of the pie.
