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

    That’s what I don’t understand. Why doesn’t he sign it knowing full well he can just ignore that pledge once it becomes convenient to do so. Figured he would have learned that by now from his marriages.

      I mean Trump is a pathological liar but he’s also got an ego the size of Texas. Signing the pledge would be, if only symbolically, ceding his free agency. He’d probably say something like:

      What’s there to sign? I am the nominee. The rest of these knuckle heads just have a hard time admitting it. And frankly speaking I am the GOP when you think about it. The fact the RNC is too scared to put their money on me from the get go is a sign of weakness and this is why we’re having a hard time winning elections.
