Is Jeb really successfully attacking Trump though? Trump put out an Instagram vid with Jebs mom saying that she didn't want Jeb to run.If he ran independent he has no reason to care about being attacked for going back on his word. He'd know he'd never win if he did that anyway. All that would matter to him would be screwing the GOP nominee over and letting him bask in the limelight for another few months.
The only question is how much he wants to look like an outsider in order to win the nomination. Clearly the GOP likes outsiders right now, but with how hard Jeb is attacking him for being too outside, I guess it might help for him to look a little more like a team player by signing this pledge.
Is this in any way legally binding? Lmao.
Can't wait for his glorious renege.
I don't see him breaking the pledge at all, to be honest.
It's entirely symbolic. They created it just because of Trump.
Is this true? Forgive my ignorance.

Man the GOP is wacked out these days.
Yo what? Has the party seriously never done this before? I thought maybe I'm just now hearing about it because I'm more into politics this season.

This reminds me of recent season of house of cards, he'll find a way to back out.
Signing some imaginary contract is not going to get him to not run as an independent. Trump playing the Reblicans like a fiddle.

ok can some1 tell me which direction his hair is going
wehre does it start where does it end
Trump is like the real life political equivalent to this:ok can some1 tell me which direction his hair is going
wehre does it start where does it end
I think people are reading this wrong. He's not signing because he would just break it at some later date, or because of any "loopholes"... He's signing now because he won't need to break it. His campaign folks looked at all the numbers and determined that his likelihood of winning the Republican candidacy is high enough that he can now sign this pledge. If that wasn't the case, he wouldn't have signed.
Trump 2016. It's happening.
The funny thing is that this pledge does nothing to hurt Trump in the case he does decide to run as an independent. All he has to do in that case is to say that he was willing to support the Republican nominee if he was treated fairly by the RNC, and that the reason he didn't get nominated was because they were out to get him. And the best part about this is that Trump would be entirely correct if he were to use this tact.
No Trump. Not yet.
It gets even better. If Trump actually wins he nomination, all of the pledge signees will be bound to endorse him. Even the ones he just insulted! This RNC move shows how ineffectual they are at attacking him.or he can say
he tried to go somewhat "establishment" and didn't like the "establishment"
It's a win win for trump
What kind of people use fatass Marker to sign their name?
The hand writing of a future president
This makes no sense to me. At all.
