Dividing the party? Looks like you’re doing it yourself Mark you idiot. Take your sour grapes and Trump hate and stick it where the sun don’t shine.

Mark, you have always appeared to be a very knowledgeable defender of OUR CONSTITUTION.

That fact cannot be denied. HOWEVER, your continued support and pushing the Canadian to the front makes you nothing more than a fraud. The two of you, who claim to so dearly love our CONSTITUTION, are ******* hypocrites and shown to be the skunks you actually are. Such a disappointment to those Americans who actually believed in the two of you.

No...that is Ted’s cop out. They claim because Trump made statements that maybe he would consider a third party run if they took delegates from him that those words voided the pledge. In fact words cannot void a pledge. Cruz would have had to won (or any other candidate) and Trump would have refused to support or endorse for that to be voided.

It is the weasel words of the lawyers....always looking for a way out. Depends on what the meaning of is is

No he didn’t.

But Ted Cruz is devoid of either brains or manners.

Take your pick.

Heard a few minutes of his ranting the other night against Prebius, the day after Ted’s big fail. Levin had better wake up, smell the roses. Hard to believe his listening audience isn’t tanking, not to mention his recently started viewing audience. What guys like him fail to grasp is that, yes, there were many Cruz supporters, but are now backing Trump, as he won. He better be careful. He’s liable to lose his gig.

Trump did not void the pledge. Levin is a liar, just like his buddy, Lyin’ Ted.

Should Levin end in financial ruin, I will celebrate.

Levin has been playing clips of Trump saying that the pledge is abrogated if the RNC treats him unfairly. The question for Levin is did the RNC treat Trump unfairly? Hindsight would suggest that they did not.

I'm curious, wow did Trump void the pledge?

From Conservative Review: Trump was interviewed by Anderson Cooper on March 29,2016. "When asked if he would continue to honor the pledge, Trump responded, “No, I don’t anymore … … we’ll see who it is.” (it's at around 00:00:16)

Article with the relevant portion of the video appears below (it's at around 00:00:16):

flashback-remember-when-trump-renounced-the-gop-pledge

The clear wording that posters must parse is what the meaning of “No, I don’t anymore ....” in his response to Cooper's question "Do you continue to pledge whoever the Republican nominee is -" and then ask themselves whether or not Trump broke his pledge on this occasion.

After watching this, whether one likes it or not, in my opinion one must conclude that Levin is absolutely correct here.

Interestingly, Trump declares in this exchange that "Cruz doesn't have to support me. I'm not asking for his support." then post-convention all Trump seems to have done is sulk, double-down, and threaten, because Cruz, while congratulating him, seems to have taken Trump at his word.

Trump will do well in the campaign to remember what he says from one day to the next. The cameras are rolling.

FReegards!

I used to tune into this show now & again on my long drive home from work. No more. The guy has literally become fanatical and unhinged over the past few months. He seems to be consumed by extreme hatred and emotion rather than by a reasoned perspective on current reality in terms of how things are and where they’re going.
