Trump takes back pledge to support GOP nominee
Politico ^

Posted on 03/29/2016 7:31:13 PM PDT by springwater13

Donald Trump has rescinded his pledge to support the Republican nominee for president.

Asked by moderator Anderson Cooper if he stood by the earlier pledge, Trump said: "No, I don't."

"We'll see who it is," he said during the CNN town hall.

He said he had been treated "unfairly" by the Republican National Committee and the GOP establishment. He said he was unsure whether the Republican establishment was plotting to take the nomination away from him during the convention in Cleveland.

He also said he didn't need Cruz to promise to support him should Trump win the nomination.

"I’m not asking for his support," Trump said.

"I don't want his support, I don't need his support, I want him to be comfortable," Trump said, taunting Cruz for dancing around the issue of whether he would support Trump if Trump were the nominee.

OK, I withdraw my previous statements about voting for Trump if he wins the nomination. What a relief, thanks Mr. Trump.

Treated ‘unfairly’? That’s the understatement of the century.

Turnabout is fair play. Trump took “the pledge” and the GOPe has spit in his face for months. The GOPe is playing with fire. They might just get burned.

The GOPe doesn’t want Trump because he is the only one who can beat Hillary and he would stop the GOPe gravy train that they’ve had in Washington for so long...

The GOPe tells the American people how much they will do for the people, then, behind closed doors, they laugh their collective asses off at us and do NOTHING....

So it is fine with you if the voters choose him and the party chooses someone else? At this point that is the only way he is not the nominee.

Can you blame them? Trump hasn’t exactly been nice to either of them.

If Trump would have taken the high road he’d be coasting into the nomination.

Good. Was anyone else asked to sign that? They have done nothing but try to defeat him and get their nut in.

I can’t blame Trump for taking back his pledge to support the GOP nominee, especially if it’s Rafael Cruz.
