the stubby-fingered rapist was the first to back out of the pledge, guys. your talking point is nonsense, as usual.
So? If Trump does something wrong, then is Kasich justified in doing wrong too?
Not to get too bogged down in moral and ethical dilemmas, but the "pledge" was meant to be a unifier for the GOP, around certain policies and values. Trump clearly does not believe in them, nor does he have any set values or beliefs that I can discern (certainly none that cannot quickly be changed for opportunistic reasons). He is not GOP nor was he ever going to be.
Kudos to Kasich (and others), who recognized this, and who saw how much his divisiveness and entertainment reality show was an abomination of the normal primary election process. If I had to say it from a legal and ethical standpoint, Trump's conduct and comments nullified any so-called pledge.
I am just sorry that Kasich did not stay in, as there could have been a real fight, now that Trump's ineptness is clearly coming out.
