Hey, remember when Donald Trump signed a pledge to run as a Republican and not run as an independent or third-party candidate? Remember when he said, “I see no circumstances under which I would turn up that pledge”?
Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump would not rule out making a run for president as an Independent despite signing a pledge in September saying he would support the eventual GOP nominee instead of running a third-party bid.
“I’m going to have to see what happens. I will see what happens. I have to be treated fairly,” Trump said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” when asked about a new guerrilla effort by operatives within the Republican Party to derail Trump’s candidacy. “When I did this, I said I have to be treated fairly. If I’m treated fairly, I’m fine. All I want to do is [have] a level playing field.”
Did he forget that big press conference at Trump Tower? “The best way for the Republicans to win is if I win the nomination… for that reason I have signed the pledge. I will be totally pledging my allegiance to the Republican party and the conservative principles for which its stands.”
