The Republican Party insists on holding Donald Trump accountable to support their nominee no matter who the candidate is at the convention. Trump agreed to the pledge and he is questioned each week by the media about his pledge to support the party nominee. The Republican Party wanted the pledge to avoid a third party run by Trump. The pledge also gives them an advantage if they can manipulate a brokered convention. All signs that elections in our country are not what they seem. Fair and honest.
Trump has a right to renege on his promise. He has brought millions of new voters to the party. For this reason, Trump is millions ahead in votes over Cruz and Kasich. He has won the most states and clearly has the biggest margin of support. He should not be denied the party nomination because the party elite fear a Trump candidacy and want to find a way to derail his success.
This is an example of party politics and political manipulation by a small group of stakeholders. The other candidates pledged to not support a Trump ticket. How is this different than the pledge Trump was forced to take? The major candidates have stated they would not support a Trump ticket, which means they would consider a third party candidate or the democratic nominee. This is hypocrisy at it's best supported by the media and party elites. All major media outlets never questioned the statements by other candidates that said they would abandoned the party if Trump was elected as their nominee. Why is that?
