The pledge includes a clause saying that the candidate will support the eventual GOP nominee.

    Wow, so the shit show begins even before we had even one gop debate. Article states you can’t participate if you don’t sign the pledge to support the eventual nominee.

    This is going to be really interesting…

      Where does this leave somebody like Chris Christie, who wants to debate, but has also been fervently outspoken against Trump. There’s no way he would support Trump should he become the nominee. Perhaps he has to just fade away at that point.

          That photo of Ted Cruz phonebanking for Trump after Trump straight up insulted Cruz’s wife? That one photo was all I needed to know about the direction things were headed in for the Republicans.

            I was thinking of Lindsay saying if they nominated Trump it would destroy the party and then turning into a hardcore trump sycophant.

            But Cruz may be a better example.

              IMO Graham is a better example because he still had a reputation of principles at the time, being friend with McCain and in general being outspoken.

              Cruz never had any of that. Everybody hates Ted Cruz, even his close colleagues and family.
