GOP Chairman Warns Of ‘Consequences’ for Trump Over Broken Loyalty Pledge
Source: TIME
Donald Trump's reversal on a pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee could have consequences, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said Sunday.
In appearances on all five Sunday news shows, Priebus sought to reassure Republicans that the party is preparing for the likelihood of a contested convention, while rebutting criticism of the arcane delegate selection rules leveled by the front-runner. Trump has called the system "unfair" and has said he should be awarded the nomination even if he falls short of the 1,237 delegates—a majority—required to win the nomination at the party's convention in Cleveland in July.
Responding to Trump's decision to abandon his loyalty pledge on ABC's This Week, Priebus said the decision could deepen Trump's delegate troubles. "Those kinds of comments I think have consequences," Priebus said. " And so when you make those kinds of comments, and you want people to fall in line for you, it makes it more difficult."
"If you were running for president of the Kiwanis Club or the Boy Scouts and you said you don’t know if you like the Kiwanis or the Boy Scouts, I think that makes your challenge even greater to ultimately win those kinds of posts," he added. "It’s not different for the Republican Party."

The interesting thing is that all three remaining candidates sort of backed away from the pledge, but the RNC is now using this as a pretext to ignore the GOP voters, and designate Romney or Kasich as Koch's handpicked presidential candidate.

...whatever the hell the RNC or the GOP chairman thinks about broken pledges. Their creation of a Trump presidency has ironically gone rogue.
In the meantime, I'll sit back and enjoy the GOP cannibalizing itself.
