RNC chairman: Candidates that don't back Trump may not be able to run again. - Belsnickel - 09-19-2016 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/09/18/candidates-who-dont-back-trump-may-not-be-allowed-to-run-again-rnc-chairman-says.html Quote:Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Sunday suggested he could say “never mind” to the “Never Trump” candidates should they try to make another run for the presidency. So, I have to say I don't blame the RNC here. Pledges were signed. I can agree with people that feel like Trump is bad for the country and so refuse to back him, but I also agree that the RNC can take these actions.

Seems like a good idea. ![]() Let me also say making people sign pledges sounds absolutely awful.

I agree, but that is party politics. It wouldn't surprise me if the DNC did something similar. I also know that a college Republican group got kicked out of, I think it was the NY, organization for college Republicans because they endorsed Johnson instead of Trump.

Don't support who you want support our candidate because...party.

Although not one person at our gathering said they were voting for him they all knew someone who said they would.

I think there are many people who are going to vote for Trump but they aren't going to let anyone know it. I also believe there are many people out there who will vote for Trump "Just To See What Happens", which is kind of scary.

This reminds me of what happened with the Brexit vote. There were people that voted to leave that had no understanding of what they were actually doing. RE: RNC chairman: Candidates that don't back Trump may not be able to run again. - Sociopathicsteelerfan - 09-19-2016 Here's the thing about the pledge and why I called Ted Cruz a spineless loser for breaking his word on this issue. They all signed it knowing who was running. I don't care if they couldn't possibly foresee Trump's rise or his antics, they knew he was running. Cruz flat out lied and said he decided he wasn't going to honor the pledge once Trump attacked his family. Except Cruz didn't say a thing about backing out of the pledge when this happened. Why, because he still hoped to win and he still wanted Trump to honor the pledge and bring his supporters under Cruz's tent. This is why Cruz deserves nothing but contempt for his refusal to honor the pledge, no matter what you think of Trump. He gave no real indication he wasn't going to honor it until the RNC. Cruz is a spineless opportunist and the fact that anyone gives him kudos for lying, simply because they don't like Trump, quite honestly sickens me. As for Priebus, I hope he follows through on this "threat". Either you're a person of your word or you're not. Either you obey the rules of the party you claim to be a member of or you find another party. Cruz and Kasich want it both ways, they want the money, infrastructure and prestige of being part of the GOP while at the same time ignoring the party rules when it suits them. It's called prevarication and it's a horrible quality to have. Both men should be ashamed and castigated for their utter lack of honesty. They sure as hell shouldn't be congratulated on it.

It should be up to the candidates and the people that may or may not vote for them. Regardless of pledges or not, let the voters decide in the primaries.

Might not be a great idea for the future of the party, but the Republican Party is the only one who can say which candidates can run as representatives of the Republican Party. RE: RNC chairman: Candidates that don't back Trump may not be able to run again. - wildcats forever - 09-20-2016 Well, from what I saw of the former primary contenders, over which Trump prevailed, this seems to be doing the Nation a favor. |
