Will GoPe sign loyal pledge to support Trump if he’s the nominee? I highly doubt it
Lol. You have to hand it to the guy, he is clever.
too bad.
The author of “The Art of the Deal” will have an “OUT” clause, in the event that the gOpee does not hold up their end of the bargain.
Have ANY of the other Republican Candidates, including Jeb Bush, also signed or will sign one?
I think it’s a good deal for Trump who is on the way to winning the nomination unless he really stumbles in the next few months, which is about as likely as Rosie O’Donnel endorsing him. Then it leaves the GOPe in the position of having to throw it’s entire support to him with Trump in control of all the strings.
I understand all the concern about Trump walking into a trap and having the GOPe double-cross him. At the end of the day this all boils down to one question: Does Donald Trump have any experience in negotiating hard for his best interests?
Hell yes he does!
I think he will be ok doing this, because he’s got such a plurality now, even the cold fish GOPe won’t be able to stop him unless they kill him.
Smooth, baby, smooth!
The RINOs are loyal....
... to big government liberalism.
I’ve been reading some Trump interviews and noticing something interesting. Trump adjusts on the fly to new situations and information. As a result people call him a flip-flopper. What he avoids is what R.W. Emerson called a needless consistency borne of stubbornness.
This also explains his business acumen and occasional losses in business as well. He takes chances, and changes his course when he sees opportunity. His instincts are very good, but no one is perfect in these matters.
He has been underestimated by all the experts. They think because he isn’t polished and doesn’t speak like a Harvard man that he’s stupid. He’s making fools of them all as he has native intelligence rather than egg-head intelligence.
There had better be a RECIPROCITY CLAUSE!!
Dang. There goes our opportunity to destroy the GOPe.
CNN was running this as breaking news this moring. I noted that they had no banner about other candidates signing the pledge.
This pledge smacks of a hit, like the FoxNews moderators tried — and failed at.
Is this a legally binding pledge? No. Do we live in an age when legally binding language holds sway? No. Does this loyalty pledge mean diddly squat? Perhaps for people of honor, but those are hard to find.
Hey, the GOP leadership finally won one.
So Trump signs the pledge. Ok so if the GOPreeks later does him dirty all bets are off and he takes a huge swath of voters with him to the 3rd party.
“What if the GOPe pull dirty tricks to deny him the nomination? Will he stand for that?”
He has such a wide and attentive audience, if they play tricks he will take the stage and outline what they are
doing in no uncertain terms. That would be the death of the Republican Party. They may be stupid enough to try it, since we have seen them do some mighty stupid things.
Has John McCain ever signed that?
