Why do they keep asking the front runner this question?

He should extract a pledge from the rest of the GOP to support him if he is the nominee.

And that is the key.

Like him or not, Trump is well ahead in the polls. The GOPe wants him to lose, and they are going after him more than Hillary.

So at this point, Trump is in an interesting position. Stay, and let them try to smash him. Go third party, and smash the election himself.

It would be great to see Trump start a third party for the express purpose of destroying the Washington Cartel.

seriously. I think they should ask the RNC if Trump is the nominee if they will support HIM. Nobody seems to care about that. It is outrageous that they are asking him..he is the front Runner. You’re right! Ask Jeb. He’s the loser.

Leftist Republicans will not be making the same pledge. If Trump win, they won’t support him

And, then we end up with Hillary or Bernie or God forbid - Joe Biden. In destroying the Washington cartel - we destroy your own futures. It’s a darned if you do, and a darned if you don’t situation.

Hillary is already dead in the water. The longer she stays in the race, the better it will be for both the Republicans, and any strong Third Party candidate.

He should just say, “I AM the GOP. Jeb is the one you should ask about a third party.”

Hillary Clinton is disqualified from holding any further federal office by law.

When will Hillary be asked to sign a pledge that if she isn’t the Democrat nominee, that she will not run as a third party candidate?

If Trump runs as a third candidate, Hillary will be queen. She thinks she’s royalty already.
