***** Did Reagan sign a pledge to? Ted did. *****
Levin says Trump made Cryin’ Ted’s pledge null and void when Trump attacked his family.
First, I doubt Levin’s research.
Second, I’m betting that Reagan specifically asked people to vote for Gerald Ford.
Third, the word ‘endorse’ was not a big deal then. I lived through that time, I remember, and it simply wasn’t. To say “I’m voting for him.” or something similar to that. To encourage others to vote for him, to campaign for him, to support him in public. All of those things fell under the heading of “endorse”....and were probably more significant proof of endorsement than to mouth the word ‘endorse’ and be done with it. (Like I suspect will be the case with Rubio.)
