VIRGINIA, NORTH CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA COULD TRY TO KICK DONALD TRUMP OFF OF THE BALLOT
|| By FITSNEWS || “Republican” party leaders in Virginia and North Carolina want to restrict GOP ballot access in their states to candidates who pledge their support to the eventual GOP nominee – and who vow to forego independent candidacies in the event they don’t win the GOP nomination.
Meanwhile candidates filing for the “First in the South” GOP primary in South Carolina must sign a version of such a loyalty oath, agreeing not to mount an independent bid and stating that they “generally believe in and intend to support the nominees and platform of the Republican Party.”
The moves are a direct challenge to Donald Trump – who has flirted with the notion of an independent candidacy (and who famously refused to rule out a third-party bid at the first “Republican” presidential debate earlier this month).
According to Politico, the Virginia and North Carolina moves “come amid Republican fears that the real estate mogul is gaining strength in the primary contest, and that his jeremiads against undocumented immigrants will alienate Hispanic voters.”
Jeremiads?
Lol …
That’s not at all a pejorative assessment of Trump’s comprehensive immigration reform plan, is it? (Editor’s note: Sarcasm).
Anyway, the story got one word right: Fear.
“Republicans” are afraid of Trump. Deathly so. And with good reason. And while they say their loyalty oath “isn’t about any single candidate,” it doesn’t take Rick Perry to figure out that’s a lie.
Sort of like when the party says its for less government. Or lower taxes. Or when it forced crony capitalist chameleon Mitt Romney on GOP voters in 2012 – arguing he was “electable.”
This website bailed on the “Republican” party a long time ago, arguing it presented no real alternative to the Democratic party. And since then it has done nothing to earn back our trust … or our votes.
We have no use for the GOP … nor do we have any use for candidates who swear an “oath” to it.

Desperate GOP?
You’re not THAT stupid are you?
You’re trying to coax AlGore into the race. Dumbass.
Tango – sorry to hear you’re still hatefilled. That sort of rage can kill a man, if he doesn’t do something about it. At the very least it could cause acid reflux and I’d hate to see you suffer from any maledy. Here’s to your seeking treatment. I think it’s covered under your Obamacare policy.
It’s really no surprise GrandTango and Flip keep coming here.
Where else can ONE roundup up about 15 American hating, Godless souls and make em look like the babbling idiots they truly are by just speaking the truth.
That is what GT and I do everyday.
Here comes one of the dogs to their vomit now.
This just in: Ms. Lindsey threatens to “…beat [Trumps} brains out…”. I’d almost like to see that fight.

Please go back to your cave.
In the foto —- is that Lindsey in the middle?
Yes but he is much taller when he isn’t on his knees or doing the downward doggy.
T, you are at top form today!
Actually I bet Trump fights like a girl, so it would be entertaining.
That’s what I’m thinking, “cat fight battle royale”
That was funny RINO!
I’m a NARUANA.
You are an idiot.Just stay out of the way and don’t fuck this election up.You got your flag down.
What is your problem? We’re talking about women mud wrestling – if you can’t support that…..
I have my own fan club, COL Flagg is apparently the president.
Flip can’t even attack you under his normal name, what a loser.
I only attack under ‘flip’ if I respect you.I like the Col.-just don’t trust him.
Who cares? Nobody here respects you except for your gay hubby GT.
Who cares. You a are a idiot!
Did you give someone an “F”
A few but I doubt that’s what this is about – all of my students can read above a twelfth grade level and write coherently…
It was your flag we got down Sic…
Not so, my flag is of the USMC, try again.
Explains a lot…
I’d rather see Megyn wrestle the Elizebth Hasselbeck on the morning show. But I guess Donny and Lindsey would be fun two. How about tag team. Lindsey Mygen / Trump and Hasselbeck.
Megyn could take any of them, she’s got 2 inches and 20 pounds on Hasselbeck and bigger balls than Ms. Lindsey but the tag team could be fun.
As I said, a frag you are.move elsewhere, u may find followers.
I’d like to see those two inches.
I think your understanding of how Ms. Lindsey meant “beat his brains out” differs from how Ms. Lindsey meant it.
See, that’s just gross – did you have to go there. Here we were thinking mud wrestling tag team style with Megyn and Elizabeth’s “killer bees” while Ms. Lindsey and Trump flail away like a couple of old school marms.

You should not post here. It is a free country. Just your comments make no sense. You’ve never done the job you claim.
Wow – do you read the idiocy you write? I can’t even figure out what you’re trying to say:
First I shouldn’t post here, then it’s a free country (with the implication that I can do what I want?)
Next my comments make no sense – did you read your first two sentences?
Finally, I’m 53 years old, I’ve had a hell of a lot of fun being gainfully employed since I was 15 – I don’t need to lie because I’ve had a chance to live it.
I am on your side.
Stupid, you want war period.
Anyone that will always defend dubya is a idiot, simple as that.
Another erudite response!
Please let me know where I’ve defended Dubya? Do you find fault that I insist on telling the whole story on WMDs? I’ve also gone to great lengths to say I think Iraq was a mistake. I spent to better part of three years in Iraq and Afghanistan, I actually know what I’m talking about.
Your story was good, but failed. Try again
Ok , Col, let’s. Think about it
Have at it, try not to overheat your brain, you start throwing odd punctuation in when that happens. Oh, wait, too late…
Yea doggie, tell me col
Front of the line at the VA for that SST fellow. Show compassion and be thankful you aren’t him. I had a vet at work lose it and have to go to I believe Statesville with the butterfly net guys. When I delivered his stuff to his home his young son asked me if I knew his Daddy had to go to the Nutty House again. Sad.
Funny and sad all at the same time…
SST too close to the IED, parents should have used IUD. LOL
Clue me in
Very broad subject, where would you like to start?
With a reason to attack Iraq. Per Bush 2.
Can’t see a good one – that’s why “…I’ve also gone to great lengths to say I think Iraq was a mistake…” – or did you miss that?
Is this funny shit or what
Show me the loyal
You’re start
I agree. I did a full background and investigation – talking to people behind his back.
Anything u say is too funny !
This whole thing with Trump is mesmorizing. But over on the right hand side of my screen it says “You Must See These Perfectly Timed Photos!” – and then I got distracted. What was the pledge again, and did I sign it?
The GOP is going to be destroyed by Trump. If he is their candidate the GOP will loose. If he runs third party they will also loose as will he. All the democrats now need to do is ditch Hillary and make Elizabeth Warren their candidate.
She would make a good VP choice for Bernie.
LMAO! Two socialists like Castro and Chavez that want to take away property and wealth from its citizens.
Reminds ya of Bush&Bush
Flip wants to take away our wealth with higher gas taxes like a good little socialist. Just don’t take away his welfare.
Raise gas taxes.Make EVERYBODY pay.
Trump saved the Republican Party for generations.
A Wall and NO amnesty-path to citizenship!
This is totally fair, because we are not interested in Republican voters electing someone to lead the party unless they are loyal to us. How are we expected to maintain power if we do not even control the Republican candidate?. Its time for this Trumpster to go. We have let Republican voters play with this democracy thing long enough. Its time to end the illusion and show everyone who is running this show. Its time for the electorate to get back in line.
Rush 2112 – We Have Assumed Control – We Have Assumed Control
Damn Roc, we’re u at the concert in79 ?
No, didn’t see ’em until the 80s. But those early 70’s LPS – La Villa Strangiato – yeah!!!!
Eagle Ten!!! Eagle Ten!!! All party members – Eagle Ten!!!!! Take action immediately!!!!! Eagle Ten!!!!!
Born in Dover NJ and grew up in Netcong? Christ – that explains a lot you Mt. Olive POS.
Pot, meet Kettle.
Seems to me the loyalty thing by the GOP is no different than the political types like Will demanding that everyone walk, talk and think like them and if they stray, they are just RINOs. How is it any different?
The demands of purity from the Tea Party, libertarian, far right wings of the Republican party are why the Republican party slices them off, and here the Republican party is demanding loyalty of those wings.
Who will win?
The Republican party. Those wings don’t have anyone else to vote for.
OK friend !
Its as if the GOP didnt learn anything from Ross Perot, and clinton will be the beneficiary yet again
I am not so sure yet. Biden may be better.
Jeremaids is no doubt a Reinhold Priebus word. Jesus the Republican Party is going to hell in a handbasket?
Seriously though, whats the point. They cant prevent any of the candidates from running independent even if they sign the loyalty pledge. All it gives them is some ammunition about “how can we trust this persons word if they would sign this pledge and then go against it” to which someone like trump would reply “just taking a page out of the Washington playbook”
Who cares ,
I wonder whose idea this was, because the main beneficiaries of a war between the GOP Establishment and Trump is the House of Koch. This is beginning to sound like a Game of Thrones novel.
All the same treachery but with far less intelligent players.
Chump compares himself to Reaga, who had no problem signing that form in 1980.
Trump is loyal to Trump. End of story.
Obama is loyal to Radical Islam. End of story.
Flip is loyal to stupidity, end of story.
The King of the Deflection
Throw away those ‘talking points’ you get everyday and THINK!
oh… the irony…
**sigh**
bless your pathetic little heart.
you wouldn’t know an original thought if you tripped over one
You said your sources had no concern about a Third Party bid? Why they doing this then?
UHH-RAA
I know it’s hard dear, but try to stay on topic.
You brought up loyalty. I used an analogy. Think outside that liberal box you live in.
Yes. The topic is Trump’s loyalty. Your analogy makes zero sense in the context of this article.
Thanks for playing though. We can’t get enough of those “Obama is a Muslim” deflections when you are backed into a corner.
The topic is really how TRUMP just fucked the Democrat Party and ended any hope of amnesty or citizenship for illegals.
wrong again.
Wanna give it another try? Third time’s the charm?
It is the ONE issue that put him in front as he has tied it to the economy,trade,crime and foreign policy.
You really this stupid? Oh, I forgot, Unless the topic is Josh Duggar on Fits, you play dumber than shit.
What ?
None of which has anything to do with Trump’s loyalty to the GOP. Anything else? You may want to go take that nap now, old-timer.
Sweet Jesus you are STILL stupid Smirks-welcome back! Besides Rocky ,you are my favorite American hating socialist.
Thank you for conceding defeat.
Now run along and take your meds.
The DONALD sweeping America and NO amnesty-Hillary going prison with back-ups a communist and brain injured,racist perert named Biden.
Life is good!
But your sources said no chance Third Party run – now they’re forcing him to sign pleges like scared little girls. What happen?
He won’t run 3rd Party. Fact.He may own the Republican Party after the smoke clears but NO 3rd Party.
Flip, serously, just to be clear. He CANNOT gather enough delegates to win the nomination. All the mid-west, northeast and western state primaries are winner take all. Trump is stuck at 30. You get down to Trump v Kasich, or Trump v Bush, he gets zero delegates after March 15. And now NC, VA and SC trying to force him out unless he gives into their pledge. Which he’s said in front of the whole country he won’t do. Donald doesn’t back down, and reverse himself. Seems like, in the words of Grand Tango, you got a real shit storm on your hands.
I didn’t say he would win the nomination.He will however move the party where it needs to be for a landslide win in 2016-IF he doesn’t win the nomination.
How Trump just fucked the GOP – there, fixed it for you.
I heard the Democrat Party is Begging Sanders to run as a Third-Party (NAZI) if he does not get the Democrat nomination.
Your stupid ass is TOAST if he does. He’ll take most of your voters with him as a NAZI candidate. IDIOT…(:
Perhaps most noteworthy, Sanders supported “the socialist Sandinista government in Nicaragua” at the same time it was fighting “a proxy war” with America during the Reagan years.
In 1985, he became the highest-ranking American official to visit Nicaragua at the time, and met with President Daniel Ortega. In his book, he called the trip “profoundly emotional” and praised Ortega. Burlington [where Sanders was mayor] and Managua, Nicaragua’s capital, became sister cities.
Sanders also enjoyed a “romantic honeymoon” in the USSR with his wife, Jane, when they married in 1988. The trip was “to Yaroslavl, in the then-Soviet Union. The trip was an official delegation from Burlington to cement the two cities’ sister-city relationship.”
“Trust me. It was a very strange honeymoon,” Sanders writes.
Sanders also visited Cuba with his wife in 1989 and hoped to meet with Fidel Castro, but it didn’t work out. Instead, Sanders met with Havana’s mayor and other unnamed officials.
Bernie Joseph Stalin Sanders! From a Radical Islamic Muslim to a communist. Oh my!
Better than a guy who declared bankruptcy 4 times and is only popular for his crappy TV show. I shouldn’t bash Trump too much though because he’s doing all of this as a favor to Hillary.
Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s top confidant, praised Chairman Mao because he was able to rise to the top on the backs of his people that he murdered by the millions.
In this country the media will crucify you if you go to church more than twice a year. But Communists who slaughter millions for political control are their heroes. Some Party, huh?
You got that right.Muslim Obama wasn’t radical enough for em-now they want to recreate the former USSSR and Nazi Germany with Sanders and Warren-only this time my guess is they will round up the Christians instead of my Jewish friends and turn us over to Planned Parenthood for repatriotation.
What does that have with the Establishment trying to force Donald out of the NC, SC and VA primaries?
These primary fights will be worked out. The real story is the Democrats running a communist sympathizer for President.
Worked out???? They’re telling Trump – you either promise not to run Indy or you can’t play in the primaries. WTF? How do you “work” that out? Crazy Trump is gonna be tweetin’ tonight.
Could be your new president. So ?
The Empire Strikes Back!
Kocks strike back. Too funny.
The Kochs are panicked by Trump. They like owning the Republican Party and do not want to share any of it.
The tighter they grip, the more voters will slip thorough their fingers.
Libertarian-Moderate RonPaul, Tom Davis, Thomas Ravenel, Mark Sanford, Glenn MCConnell, Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Rand Paul infiltrated the Republican Party, because if they were honest about who you are, you would not get 5% of the vote.
Libertarians are an embarrassment to the GOP. So I don’t blame them for trying to block you. Libertarians Ross Perot ran not to win, but ONLY to elect Bill Clinton, twice.
OK
What are Libertarians for besides legalized drugs, abortion and gay marriage? They make perfect Democrats.
We are a new country. Wars as pubs know it, are now obsolete. Get on the bandwagon or get off.
We are? Just because it is legal to be a pervert doesn’t mean we are a new country.
That is question for Josh, LOL.
The Democrat Slave Owners and Hitler’s NAZIs waged a war on Republicans.
How that turn out for ya?
Very good, you ?
Did they butt fuck you in Lebanon, Private Pyle? Your anus appears agitated 24/7 about the USA.
If that’s your bag, dig it. Insults from a person as you, are why I live. I know I’m ok. Too funny,
Ah please. Don’t whine.You give as good as you get.
Roanoke College – a fine school in VA – has poll out today – Haggy Hillary still beats all GOP candidates in VA. Ooops – pooops.
I saw that. Rubio,Walker and Bush are within the margin of error and Hillary can’t get above 42%. Toast.Finished.She can’t get more that 47% in election-even if they let her fellow prisoners vote.If Dems don’t win VA they are losing in a landslide.
I also see Obama’s disapproval is sky high-54% and Sanders is winning NH
OK, point ?
Except No Pledge Trum’s indy run makes it a cake walk, even for Crazy Joe.
The party can continue to play its games if it wants, but one cannot command loyalty. One must earn loyalty . Loyalty oaths breed contempt. Only those who cannot earn loyalty would ask for them.
Sounds like stories I heard about Charlie A when he was Chief at Cola PD. Story had it he was big on “co-mittment” for a while. They said he was so big on it that he demanded that every employee write a statement of “co-mittment” to him. One old cop of mixed racial heritage was said to have written on his statement, “I don’t make comittments”. Supposedly, nothing more was heard about “co-mittments” after that, thanks to one old cop who had the guts or just didn’t give a shit enough to say what many were thinking.
Well let’s go
Col, up
This move is clearly illegal and unconstitutional. But that’s career politicians for you.
You are spot on, kill people for no reason, the republican way.
They deserve loyalty like their leadership gives in Congress! Think about it!
I probably won’t vote for Trump, but I damn sure will never give a penny to the SCGOP.
The SCGOP pricks want to rule the world and I say to hell with them.
Nothing new, that is a Tango feature for the future. I’m shakin.
Another really dumb move by the GOP. Now Trump can claim that the nomination was stolen from him by the Establishment. That will make him a very powerful independent candidate and split the GOP.
Trump truly is destroying the GOP……which is a good thing! We don’t need the GOP nor the DNC. We could use a Libertarian (like Ron Paul)… but the USA is too stupid, too irresponsible, very uneducated, and too scared to make moral and ethical decisions by themselves.
