It is quite ironic that a group that has been incredibly unfaithful and disloyal to conservatives would demand a loyalty pledge from the leading candidate.
After weeks of pressuring from the Republican National Committee (RNC) to sign a “loyalty pledge,” GOP frontrunner Donald Trump finally acquiesced and signed the document on Thursday. He announced the decision at a press conference at Trump Tower in New York City after meeting with RNC Chairman Reince Preibus.
The “loyalty” issue has been extremely important to GOP leadership, who were terrified that Trump would run as a third party candidate in the 2016 election and doom their chances of victory. Previously, Trump expressed an interest in exploring a third party bid only if the RNC treated him poorly. He said that it gave him “leverage” in the upcoming race. Obviously, at this point, Trump must feel that he does not need the leverage and is confident of victory. The latest polls now show Trump at 30% support, with a double digit lead over his nearest challenger.
