"SNIP.........

The Republican National Committee’s chairperson has said that all GOP primary candidates should sign a pledge promising to support the eventual party nominee if they wish to participate in the presidential debates.

Ronna McDaniel, the RNC’s leader since 2017, told CNN in an interview Sunday that even though the debate criteria have not yet been released, the loyalty pledge should nevertheless be a “no-brainer” for the party’s presidential hopefuls.

“If you’re going to be on the Republican National Committee debate stage asking voters to support you, you should say, ‘I’m going to support the voters and who they choose as the nominee’,” McDaniel told CNN host Dana Bash.

“Anyone getting on the Republican national committee debate stage should be able to say, ‘I will support the will of the voters and the eventual nominee of our party,’” she added.

11. Is there honor among thieves?

[Maeve]

2. The Orange One will never agree to that!

[DemocraticPatriot]

3. I think he will sign it, presuming that he will be the nominee.....

Signing would never prevent him from stabbing them in the back, after all,
if the party fails to bow down to him....


Neither signatures nor oaths ever prevented him from changing his mind,
30 seconds later...

10. This!

16. In 2015, John Kasich pledged to support the nominee on stage

A year later, he did not support Trump.

6. I know.. Delicious, eh?

I bet he's mad at Ronna. lol

[yonder]

4. Uhh...pledge? As they scramble for dictionaries.

[EYESORE 9001]

5. I predict that her 'should-hood'

will turn into ‘shit-hood’ once lord rump decrees this pledge to be ‘sad’.

[RockRaven]

7. Because that piece of paper, signed by anybody that would run for Prez in the GQP, is worth

anything more than used toilet paper?

The kind of person who would run for that office as a Repuke is exactly the kind of person whose word isn't worth shit.

[dflprincess]

8. Trump would sign it

because it would mean as much to him as his marriage vows or his oath of office.

[nature-lover]

9. Pledge, oath, vow - all non-binding to Trump. Meaningless in his world.

[lindysalsagal]

12. Because, who, exactly believes he'll honor promises?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

13. In 2015, TFG refused to commit to support the party nominee and not run as a third party

14. That's brilliant. Cause if Trump signs that pledge, you know he's good for his word

[no_hypocrisy]

15. Two foreseeable outcomes:

A) TFG signs it and breaks his promise to support another nominee, or

B) TFG refuses to sign it and shows up for the debate.
