He just said it now on tv

[Gordon Shumway]

Man..that applause!! LOL

I like how there were a couple of boos for Reince Priebus..

 

[Stinkles]

AW YISS!

 

[Flo_Evans]

The pledge to not run 3rd party?

 

[alr1ght]

Signing some imaginary contract is not going to get him to not run as an independent. Trump playing the Reblicans like a fiddle.

 

[Arkeband]

Probably deduced it was his only way to avoid Jeb's smear campaign.

 

[chadskin]

Trump 2016. It's happening.

This right here.

 

[Partition]

someone asked what the pledge did for him and he said "absolutely nothing" rofl

I hope so

RNC: "Release the ads."

Seems like it.

This. It's not legally binding so ultimately doesn't matter. If he wants to run as an independent then he'll do so and there's not a thing republicans can do short of holding up his paper work to get his name on ballots.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Lol "he's really one of us now!"

 

[Hopfrog]

Not worth the paper, as they say.

 

[Stinkles]

Thing is he does run 3rd party he'll just say they betrayed his pledge or something.

 

[Troy]

I love Jeb claiming Trump was awful for minorities in an answer to one question, and then when asked if he'd support Trump if he himself wasn't the nominee and he immediately said yes. So at least now minorities know he doesn't give a fuck about them. I applaud his honesty.

Yeah. I don't see what the big deal is. It's not legally binding or anything, right?

 

[John Kowalski]

What's the republican pledge? What did he pledge to do?

 

[Frustrated_me]

A "pledge" lol

 

[Easy_D]

As an outsider, American politics are equally amusing as they are terrifying. But yeah, Trump is a source of hilarity for people all around the world

 

[JDSN]

This pledge shit is so cult-like.

 

[Ahasverus]

The he shows the worold he's no one bitch and does it anyway. Trump style.

 

[toadsworth]

As an outsider, American politics are equally amusing as they are terrifying.

As an American, this is doubly true.

 

[Rebel Leader]

What's the republican pledge? What did he pledge to do?

Something about pledging loyalty to who ever is the nominee

 

[billeh]

Live reaction from RNC HQ:

 

[Judderman]

Trump upon not winning the nomination:

 

[Hopfrog]

As an outsider, American politics are equally amusing as they are terrifying.

As an American, I would say that the amusement doesn't really make up for the terrifying elements.

 

[Shake Appeal]

No, Trump. Bad Trump.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Trump upon not winning the nomination:

Look here RNC, it says Donald trimp not Donald trump.

You just got fooled

 

[Skiptastic]

Trump upon not winning the nomination:

God, I miss Wonder Showzen.

 

[FyreWulff]

they do realize he'll just say "lol fuck your pledge" and it'll make his base like him even more?

edit: to clarify to non americans, this pledge has zero legal weight. he can still run third party if he wants to.

 

[GreatestHits]

Trump the trollmaster

 

[John Kowalski]

Something about pledging loyalty to who ever is the nominee

Oh... i thought it would be something weirder.

 

[Mudcrab]

Trump when he loses the primary:

 

[Fox Mulder]

Why not, he's sitting pretty and can back out anyways.

 

[Rebel Leader]

they do realize he'll just say "lol fuck your pledge" and it'll make his base like him even more?

edit: to clarify to non americans, this pledge has zero legal weight. he can still run third party if he wants to.

And his base would still follow him

 

[lednerg]

Not a good deal, Trump. You just lost your teeth.

 

[E the Shaggy]

Who's the top contender to be the Republican frontrunner at this point and when does that get decided?

 

[Sianos]

I HAVE ALTERED THE TERMS OF THE PLEDGE

PRAY THAT I DO NOT ALTER THEM FURTHER

***

also i want to live in the universe where trump is forced to endorse Jeb! bush

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Honestly he's probably not going to lose the primary at this rate

 

[_woLf]

The fact that this "pledge" is a thing is absolutely hilarious in itself

 

[Rebel Leader]

You are talking about the base of the Obama brither movement

[collige]

Smart move by him. This increases his goodwill with the GOP, making it more likely that he'll just win the nomination, making the pledge irrelevant. If he doesn't win the nomination.... fuck them and their pledge, he can do what he wants. It's literally a win win.

 

[redmetal86]

China! Take a drink.

 

[Troy]

This pledge is as useful and binding as a purity pledge.

 

[massoluk]

Doesn't sound like that paper is worth anything, to be honest.

Agreed he can tear up this thing and win a big anti establishment scene
