Quote HistoryQuoted:
CNN: Advisers to the candidate have said all along that Trump was never seriously interested in launching an independent run, which is an arduous -- and costly -- process. The pledge has not only put pressure on Trump to commit to the party, it's also forcing some of his rivals to promise to support Trump if he were to clinch the GOP nomination. Right. That's why it was a smart move, on his part. I'm starting to think that the people upset over this aren't even Republicans.

This can work both ways. If Trump wins the nomination it will prevent the GOP from running Jeb third party to throw the election for Hillary. GOP will likely never let him win the nomination. They will do anything including brokered convention But before, Trump held third party threat in his cards to destroy the GOP if they try to pull that crap Now he has to openly endorse whoever the GOP chooses The GOP can control who wins to an extent but If Trump has overwelming support they will have to go with it. This doesn't change a thing. My support grows because it is further proof that he isn't trying to throw the election for the dems. |

Step 1 - Sign worthless agreement to shut all the whiny beta GOP bitches up who think you're going to somehow 'steal the election' from stupid fuck RHINO Jeb
Step 2 - Continue beating the shit out of everyone in the polls, especially stupid fuck RHINO Jeb Step 3 - Watch stupid fuck RHINO Jeb's already laughable numbers dwindle some more yet the idiots running the GOP into the ground pull a 'its his turn' close to the nomination announcement Step 4 - Remind GOP idiots the agreement is worthless and its only function was to shut them up about crying about a independent run. Thank GOP for being stupid and laugh at their logic that they want to run someone with 5% support over the guy that's been polling at 30-40%. Step 5 - Watch GOP idiots implode/cave/business as usual Step 6 - Win election, separate yourself from the GOP and send the 'old guard' out to pasture because at that point they will have absolutely ZERO allies. |

He set up the entire 3rd party thing from the getgo since he had no intention of actually running a 3rd party campaign anyway. Donald Trump has been playing the GOPe and the media like a fiddle; he's been pulling the strings and beatng them at their own game from the start. It will be interesting to see how the BOT like GOPe mouthpieces here on the social media will try to spin this.

If he were close I could see them arguing that in their super secret reasoning poll that he'd win and Trump wouldn't. Problem is Jeb will never come close. This is a win/win for Trump. Either the worthless agreement sticks and it works both ways or he escapes it because everyone with an IQ over 40 realizes the GOP tried to fuck him by wanting to nominate someone significantly weaker because..just because. |

Smart move, on his part. It shows he's serious, and takes a bite out of the people saying he's only doing this to run 3rd party to give the Dems a win. It ups his trustowrthiness, somewhat, with me.
Obviously, he can still run 3rd, but he'll look like a whiny bitch and him being a liar will be proven. He knows it's his to win or lose. He can get the R nomination, as long as he doesn't screw it up. |
