LIE = Nowhere did Trump say he was going to run as a third party candidate.
Truth - Trump signed a pledge, but the GOPe and others have spent huge amounts on attack ads filled with half truth and lies.
Question- If Trump wins will the GOPe support him?
So I guess Donnie boy didn’t negotiate such a good deal for himself.
SC state law prohibits the party from putting ineligible names up for the primary ballot. See SC Law section 7-11-20(B)(2)(b), "Political parties must not certify any candidate who does not or will not by the time of the general election meet the qualifications in the United States Constitution ..."
Anyway, agreeing with you. His remarks relating to the pledge that he would support whoever the nominee is, he "needs justification" (just politically, the agreement isn't enforceable in a court of law) to renege on that. Obviously, if he is suing a fellow candidate, he would not support that candidate in the general.

When you make an early commitment, you can be distracted by the lipstick and be blind to that pigs real lips.

HEDGING HIS PLEDGE: The Donald’s fans would no doubt follow him if he splits from the GOP to run as an independent.
In the least surprising news of the election cycle, Donald Trump signaled today that he would happily back out of his signed pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee and not run as an independent if he doesn’t win the nomination. The pledge, negotiated with a petrified Republican party in an embarrassing charade last December, was never worth the paper it was printed on.
Brad Mielke of ABC News reports that Donald Trump said today: “I signed a pledge, but it’s a double-edged pledge. As far as I’m concerned they’re in default of their pledge.”
Question- If Trump wins will the GOPe support him?

Maybe. At least Trump threatens to take action, while Obama thinks he can talk US enemies into surrendering.
Trump knows his threat against Cruz is BS because Cruz is a natural born US citizen under the law. Trump should be going after the anchor baby Rubio, instead, where he might have a case.
