RNC Moves To Force Donald Trump’s Hand
The Republican National Committee (RNC) is asking its presidential candidates whether they’d be willing to sign a loyalty pledge in a likely effort to force frontrunner Donald Trump’s hand.
The pledge: “I [name] affirm that if I do not win the 2016 Republican nomination for president of the United States I will endorse the 2016 Republican presidential nominee regardless of who it is. I further pledge that I will not seek to run as an independent or write-in candidate nor will I seek or accept the nomination for president of any other party.”
Wednesday it was reported that at least 2 GOP campaigns said they received a phone call from RNC Chief of Staff Katie Walsh asking if they would sign the pledge.
The RNC declined to comment.
Donald Trump has an open a threat to run 3rd party if he feels he will not get the nomination because he is not treated fairly. Mr. Trump has said recently he feels the party has been fair to him, but refuses to take a pledge, saying he has “leverage” by not doing so.
