“This is ridiculous. The Constitution was created by people that had disdain for political parties. Wondering how this is legal.”
The Washington Post just posted a story today about that very topic....
if I was Trump I’d make the pledge while all the time winking. Then say “I’m running as a republican conservative. Pledges don’t mean a damn thing to those people so why should they think they mean anything to me.”
Or announce he’s running third party and get it over with.
bkmk
> I concur except you need to say yuge mistake.;-)
I musta missed something. Who says it like that?
Of course, I could have just sad HUGH and SERIES mistake.
:)
What about Bernie on the Indy ticket, this can be fun
Thanks for that. IOW as it’s the party, and not the Constitutional political process they can, however Trump could simply ignore, and go independent anyway. As usual the system makes lying necessary.
I’m with the Founders on the business of political parties, but whatcha gonna do?
Trump says “yuge”
I don’t trust that they won’t pay off the delegates to vote against him - even if he wins the primaries. I sure don’t trust them.
All this will do is give Trump the excuse he needs to go their party and deliver the election to the Democrats.
that will make the GOPe rue the day they didnt play fair.
I like to think a whole buncha Unipartiers have committed high jinx at Trump properties.... all captured on video. Imagine you’re John Boehner and you get an envelope in your IN box, already opened, of you in a compromised position.
I will tell you one way it will backfire.
Trump and other Presidential candidates will not be the only ones
on the primary ballot.
The ballot will have current house reps, some Senators and other
local politicians.
If they single out Trump, primary voters will “Cantor” many others on
that same ballot.
Ok .... I’ll go with ERA!!! :-)
......And it will fail them big time!
And if Trump runs third party and kills the Republican party it will be THEIR fault.
Ping
Crap, and that’s what it is, crap, like this is why I hate the GOPe. Damned RINOS!
Thanks for the ping Albion.
LOL!!!!
All this will do is give Trump the excuse he needs to go their party and deliver the election to the Democrats.
Oh, there! That’s it.
(Facepalm....jeez.)
