A threat is not the same as doing.

I can see now why they asked for something so stupid.

But Cruz says the same thing, and oh well that’s cool.

These people are fudging crooks down to the last rat.

These idiots are playing with fire. The GOP must have a death wish.

None of the three remaining candidates are now willing to say they will support the party nominee. This is solid gold to Clinton, Sanders of whoever else the Rats might be thinking about.

The Palmetto State was one of several that required candidates to pledge their loyalty to the party’s eventual nominee in order to secure a slot on the primary ballot. Though Trump won all of the state’s delegates in the Feb. 20 primary, anti-Trump forces are plotting to contest their binding to Trump because of his threat on the pledge Tuesday.

Correct me if I'm wrong but none of the candidates said that they would definitely support the nominee, so none of them can qualify for the delegates.

How many delegates will cRUz lose for not supporting the BS pledge?

Maybe RNC shouldn’t be in charge of ANY delegates....since they can’t stick to set rules.

My Republican elected officials in SC will be receiving notice from me that they had better see to it that this does NOT happen. I don’t care if it’s their job or not. If they expect to receive my vote EVER again going on down to dog catcher, they better damn well make sure it doesn’t happen.

If this is true then Cruz and Kasich lose their delegates since they are on record as saying they would not support the nominee!

If Trump breaks his pledge, losing the 50 delegates won’t matter.

At that point, the GOPe will be in control of things, not the voters.

I’m voting Trump, period. Even if I have to write his name in. If that gives us Bernie or Hillary, fine. We will hit reset that much sooner.

“Donald Trump’s announcement that he no longer stands by a pledge to support the GOP has thrown his hold on South Carolina’s 50 delegates in doubt.”

Cruz and Kasich said much more strongly that they would not support the nominee.

No word on that.

The system is rigged against Trump.

How about the others. Did they also take the pledge?

They have broken the pledge.

They can all calm down.

Why should he stand by his pledge. Cruz and Kasich - the only two other candidates left standing - have clearly indicated that they will under no circumstances support Trump if he wins the nomination. Same for the entire GOPe establishment, as personified by our old friend, Mittens.

Trump always said that he would support the eventual GOP nominee "so long as he's treated fairly." The entire non-Trump wing of the GOP is saying to Trump supporters "our way or the highway."

If they can all chant "party unity" when they run McCain and Mittens against the wishes of the base but then in effect support the Rats when they don't get their way - well, they can all take a flying leap at the moon.

I like Cruz, I really do. But at this point I feel compelled to support Trump just to stick a finger in the eye of the GOPe elites.

South Carolina is solidly behind Trump and will remain that way for years and years. No one is going anywhere.

This is just another mediocre nobody meeting a deadline to follow marching orders and write something of FUD about Trump.

FUD = Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt

Ah, but the question is - which of the others would pick up those delegates, since EVERY one of them has “threatened” to not support the nominee.
