I don’t understand why it isn’t breach of contract if a delegate signed on to a candidate’s slate, then doesn’t want to vote for him. And what was the document the wannabbees signed about supporting the nominee? If that was arranged by the RNC, logically, should the RNC take away their credentials to attend the convention?
Apparently it IS a breach of contract, it is ILLEGAL in many cases but if the delegate does it, somehow it still counts, even if they face repercussions, it doesn’t nullify the vote. Outrageous!
I believe that the delegates should vote for the winner of their respective state’s primary/caucus. Of course, some state’s are winner take all, while others are proportional and factor in congressional districts. The delegates ought to restricted so that they honor the winner of the majority of the delegates in their state.
The only proof I have as far as the wannabbees supporting the nominee is from when they were asked to raise their hand during one of the debates (IIRC it was the first one hosted by Fox News). All of the other candidates actually raised their hand. Trump, BTW, did not—BUT LATER ACTUALLY DID POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT HE WAS MAKING THE PLEDGE AND LITERALLY PUT IT IN WRITING!!!
I am hoping the RNC backs Trump up and keeps the sore losers from taking any detrimental action against Trump.
While it would be remarkable to deny credentials to the host state Governor Kasich and the second place candidate
Cruz, I think it would send an important signal that party unity is priority number one. Jeb can stay home with the rest of the contrary Bush clan. Who’ll miss Walker, whose campaign was quickly dashed? And, Fiorina has repeatedly demonstrated her disdain for Trump.
Trump has earned profound respect as the party’s standard-bearer and doesn’t deserve to have to tolerate the presence of antagonists who would undermine his chances to the extent of costing him victory in November.
WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HELP KILLARY WIN!!!

funny, the so called contract was aimed at Trump - no body else. It was the RNC scared sh#tless that Trump would run third party. it all backfired when he signed and then stuck to his word even with the media hyena packs constantly speculating “will Trump go 3rd party?” on and on and freaking on. well the whole dang thing backfired when Trump WON the Republican nomination and there is the conniving RNC with their signed pledges,,,,, and the oath-breakers who signed. freaking pathetic.
and none of these dishonorable oath-breakers never think twice that it’s not about them - the VOTERS chose Trump. i’m more po’d every day.
