QuoteRick Perry adviser joins Donald Trump campaign
\
Sam Clovis, the prominent conservative Iowa operative who departed Rick Perry's campaign this week, is heading to Donald Trump's camp to serve as his national co-chairman and policy adviser.

"I had an opportunity to get to know Mr. Trump over the past several months," Clovis said in an interview. "I have some close friends working on the campaign. It's a great opportunity for me to effect change in Washington, and I think Mr. Trump is exactly the person to do that."
.
Clovis' departure from Perry's camp comes as the former Texas governor's campaign has struggled to pay staff. Perry has sought to stand out in the GOP field by being one of the party's most vocal critics of Trump, but Clovis said those comments don't represent his views.

Exactly. It wouldn't surprise me at all to discover he paid the reporter to write that.

What and have the reporter have something to hold over his head?

Yeah, Trump'll sign The Pledge in a couple hours, not to go 3rd Party. 

Either way, Priebus is looking like a fastidious dummy by insisting on a pledge.  Trump would've ran on either Party's ticket in  '04, '08, or '12 if he was ego-driven to run for President in the first place. 

Where's Bush's pledge, not to speak in-Spanish on the campaign-trail?  Speaking bilingual isn't ego-driven?

I fully support this idiot doing himself in this way. He couldn't be more out of touch with the base. It'll take a lot of ILLEGALS and a lot of fraud to make up for the AMERICAN voters he's driving away. Good Allah, he's too damn stupid to see what's working. Good riddance Jeb!

You've lost me on this post! Who are you referring to? Jeb? I don't think many illegals vote republican even for jeb who speaks Spanish!

Yes to all. That's why he's too damn stupid to be in this race.

I listened to Rump's presser and I see why he is appealing. He is like no other politician in that answers all questions and answers them honestly. This is refreshing. His pitch on not taking money strikes a cord with voters. I still don't believe he will last, but I do believe he helps the GOP.

QuoteDonald Trump announced Thursday he has signed a GOP pledge not to run as an independent in 2016, after a personal appeal from the Republican Party chairman.

"Loyalty" to the crime cartel known as the Republican party?!

Cruz agreed. Why hold trump to a higher standard? BTW, it just means this is the Party whose nomination he seeks. It doesn't mean he supports the Rep Establishment any more than it means that for Cruz.  I think it's best.

I think it boiled down to meeting the requirements of some States to be on their ballot.  Some States require this pledge. 

He had to do it....... so he made the most of it....... dramatic drum rolls and wall to wall press!!!  He got a lot of "air" time for his dramatization.

Yeah and so what if he makes that pledge...every election we see these politicians make promises they don't keep.

That's how the RNC got control of both the House of Representatives and Senate. They made promises to the American people, that once they'd gotten the votes, never followed through on.
