Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump will likely rule out a third-party bid for the White House on Thursday, CNN reported late Wednesday night.
Trump will meet with Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus in New York City on Thursday, a day after the RNC began asking Republican candidates to sign a pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee and not run an Independent bid.
CNN, citing unnamed sources, says “all signs indicate” Trump will sign the pledge, but cautioned that Trump’s unpredictable history means nothing is guaranteed yet.
The RNC’s pledge is thought to be largely aimed at Trump, who has refused to rule out an Independent run if he loses the GOP nomination race.

Blah blah blah.
Don’t do it Donald. Not yet.
Printed Signature blocks for Reince Priebus, Chairman, RNC,
and each remaining eligible Republican Candidate.
Which of them would sign?

He will disappoint me if he does. That is surrendering to Bush. As a Republican with no 3rd party out the gopes only have to keep him from getting outright majorities in at least 8 state primaries to preclude him from consideration at the Convention
Actually, all of them would but with maybe a few exceptions, they are all known serial liars, er, politicians.
And,if they pull shenanigans, he can take his case to the American people and tell them why he has changes his mind to run 3rd party. I believe he will keep up his end of the bargain - if they uphold theirs.
What Trump commits to doesn’t matter. In the end, he’s going to do what serves his interests. So, trying to get him to give some kind of commitment not to go 3rd party is a pointless exercise.
In before the “I don’t care what he says now, he’ll do something different when the time comes because he is working for Hillary” crowd arrives.
If Trump signs the pledge, he will sabotage himself and dynamite his base of support.
Why would anyone believe such a pledge
Can probably find a clue in “The Art of the Deal”.
Frankly I wish he would hike up his big boy shorts and go third party so he could quit pretending to be a conservative.
If the GOP intends to nominate a RINO, which is the only reason the GOP would want Trump to sign a pledge, it won't make any difference because the RINO will lose whether Trump goes third party or not.
I’m thinking that this “Breaking News” yesterday about Trump’s close connection with, and Donations to, Al Sharpton and his racist organization, took the wind out of Trump’s sail. Read the FR thread linked below. Many of his Conservative supporters are abandoning ship. Close to 400 posts on this thread last night.

It’s okay. Even the author of this article knows that a pledge won’t stop him from doing it anyway, even his supporters say he routinely tells fibs
Will the people finally realize that they don't pick the nominee...the powers do.
It was an article from Mediaite.
Anyone who would believe anything that comes from them other than BS hit pieces is an idiot.
At this point he doesn’t need to concern himself with a third party run. He is now ENTRENCHED in the lead and any obvious sabotage of his campaign will result in massive amounts of voters DRAFTING him to run third party.
He has done magnificently so far and, unfortunately for the GOP establishment, the die is cast.
