Trump signs GOP loyalty pledge

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Politico:

Donald Trump and Reince Priebus have a deal.

 

The Republican front-runner announced at a press conference on Thursday that he signed the loyalty pledge the GOP sought and will support the eventual Republican nominee, whoever that may be.

 

The deal, which was announced after a private meeting with Priebus in New York regarding a party-sponsored pledge that candidates will support the nominee, is a winner for Trump. In the short term, it clears the way for his name to appear on primary ballots and addresses the concerns of Republican voters turned off by his initial unwillingness to pledge his fealty to the party.

 

And if he changes his mind down the road, the party has no legal power to block Trump from reversing course and making an independent presidential bid.

 

"I just wanted fairness from the Republican Party," Trump said. "I will be totally pledging my allegiance to the Republican Party, and the conservative principles for which it stands."
