Donald Trump considering taking pledge not to run third party

Source: Good Morning America

UPDATE: GOP frontrunner Donald Trump told ABC News Monday he has no imminent plan to rule out a third-party run for president. “It’s absolutely possible that at some point I would change that,” Trump told ABC News over the phone, but, he added, such a change “is not imminent.” Read more here.

Donald Trump may soon do what Republican leaders have been asking the billionaire candidate to do -- pledge not to run as an independent candidate for president, a senior Trump adviser told ABC News.

Trump refused to take that pledge at the start of Thursday's GOP debate but is now seriously considering promising not to run as an independent if he does not win the Republican nomination, the adviser said.

i hope you were posting that as a joke. Why would Bernie want the most insensitive lout as his VP. He might as well ask Dick Cheney to be VP, I'd actually find Cheney a slight improvement over Trump and that's saying a lot!!!

You could call it the Trump party. Wouldn't that be awesome? You are way too fabulous to be just one of many candidates in the GOP. They don't deserve you. Break out of the pack Donald - you are worth it. Do it - DO IT!

That's a loophole even your ego and hair can get through.
