Trump says he won't sign loyalty pledge required for first GOP debate - Lemmy.world

The pledge includes a clause saying that the candidate will support the eventual GOP nominee.

This is great news IMO

He’ll run on his own Freedom Party ticket and we’ll get a 3-party election. Oh no, now the rightwing votes are split. Bummer!

Republicans are too spineless. Realistically trump will threaten to run third party, and they will forgo the primaries and hand him the nomination.

Isn’t that a little unconstitutional? I know that hasn’t stopped them in the past, but just straight up cancelling a vote of the people is more blatantly fascist than I’d expect from even them.
Primaries aren’t in the constitution

It says that if there is a primary election, citizens cannot be refused the right to vote due to not paying taxes or a “poll tax”

It says nothing about when or if such an election should be held.
