I support this 100%. When the primary is over, we must unify to defeat the Dems. If a candidate can’t agree to that, they should not have the privilege of even being on the ballot.

The democrats are damn good at staying unified, but the reason is their super delegate system.

They get to choose whomever their nominee will be and the people have no say.

Say what you want, but I like how independent minded we are in the Republican Party.

We are the true mindset of the founding fathers’ dream of this country.


I’m not sure if I’m cool with a pledge telling me what I have to support if I want to run in the primary.

That’s getting away from freedom.

This is why republicans can’t win. Forcing them to sign a piece of paper is meaningless. How many didn’t support Trump in 2016? 2020?

They hate the man. They fear the man.

They are complicit in enabling the deep state to persecute Trump ad infinitum.

Every presidential candidate and every elected official should on a daily basis vilify the demorats and media for the double standard. Every day.

Hear about the southern border from all republicans? I didn’t.

How about the two tier system of justice? Other than it’s being investigated. Even without investigation, it gets no traction because no one is talking about it. Comer and Jordan along with other few republicans are portrayed daily as loons.

We don’t want to win. Ok. So don’t.

I’m with trump.

What?

If you want to try to win the party’s nomination and use the party apparatus if you win then the party should take measures to ensure you don’t try to destroy the party if you lose.


No one is stopping anyone from running as a third party from the outset

Just don’t have sour grapes if you lose the party nomination

Who out of those who sought the Republican nomination ran as a third party in 2016?


Hell did anyone even endorse a candidate outside of Trump?






ETA it’s telling that the trumpers have a problem with this

This.

If you call yourself a Republican and demand all the benefits and opportunities of being a Republican, then you should be expected to act like one. This “I’ll be a Republican if I’m the nominee but if I’m not i might damage the party” is a complete bitch move and should remove you from the ballot.

That’s funny. We have a bunch of republicans in Washington who act like Dems. There is a reason the term RINO exists.

The Republican Party of Florida approved the change at its executive board meeting held in mid-May and included the new provisions in an updated version of its bylaws that it filed with state election officials but have not been widely distributed.

The new oath, which includes a promise to “endorse” the GOP nominee and requires a candidate to pledge not to run as an independent or third-party candidate, mirrors language adopted by the Republican National Committee for its first debate.

“We were trying to be consistent with what the debate was requiring,” said Evan Power, vice chair of the Republican Party of Florida, who said that campaigns were notified about the changes. “I don’t think this will come as a surprise.”

The change by Florida Republicans comes amid an ongoing back-and-forth from some Republican presidential candidates about whether they would support the nominee, especially if it’s Trump, who remains mired in legal trouble. Chris Christie called a loyalty pledge a “useless idea” and said it wasn’t needed until Trump came along.
