-- A pledge is unconditional...not like a contract with contingencies... --

Even contracts that lack contingecies and escape clauses can be broke, but there has to be a good reason. As I noted above, all of the candidates knew one of them would be the nominee, so they all knoew they were siging on to endorse one of the people on stage. There is no contingency, no unforseeable event, no extenuating circumstance.

They lied, pure and simple, when they pledged. If they wanted a contingency, they could have added one. "I pledge to support any nominee except Trump." Easy enough to express, that was their position, but they held it back.

Well, as I said, this is not a contract, it is a pledge...

From my understanding**, a contract is contingency based...I will do this for you if you do that for me...

A pledge is not based on what the other person does...It is what the person giving the pledge has committed to doing regardless of other person’s conduct...

**LOL I have a nasty cold so my understanding may be totally off!
