Reince Priebus SHAMES Kasich, Bush, and Cruz “You Agreed to Support The Nominee, so GET ON BOARD!”
Chairman of the RNC, Reince Priebus has just about had it with the 3 holdout’s who refuse to honor their pledge and support the GOP nominee Donald Trump.
He’s urged them to support Trump before, however now, he’s shaming them.
Priebus said every Republican who ran in 2016 needs to get behind Mr. Trump.
Those who haven’t — including Mr. Kasich, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — could see diminished support from the party moving forward.
“People who agreed to support the nominee, that took part in our process, they used tools from the RNC. They agreed to support the nominee. They took part in our process. We’re a private party, we’re not a public entity.
Those people need to get on board,” Mr. Priebus said. “And if they’re thinking they’re going to run again someday, I think we’re going to evaluate our process, the nomination process, and I don’t think it’s going to be that easy for them.”
Mr. Kasich said last week it’s unlikely he’ll vote for Mr. Trump. Mr. Bush has expressed similar sentiments, and Mr. Cruz famously withheld an endorsement of Mr. Trump during the Republican National Convention and instead told Republicans to “vote their conscience” in November.
This is unacceptable behavior from so-called seasoned and professional politicians and GROWN MEN.
It’s clear that we the people made the CORRECT choice in NOT PICKING these buffoons as our nominee.
Their TRUE COLORS are out on full display.

It’s called an editor. Perhaps you should look into getting one. At least you should if you expect to be taken seriously.
By the way. I have *no* use for Ted Cruz; as in I wouldn’t even hire him to be the proverbial dogcatcher. (I’m far too fond of dogs for that.) But I had no issue with his “vote your conscience” line. (The setting was inappropriate, but the sentiment was not.)
Telling people to vote the party line simply because it is the party, not because they feel Trump would be the best POTUS, is so wrong in so many ways. As for attempting to blackmail them – “Toe the line or we’ll blacklist you” – it is disgusting, and Priebus should be ashamed of himself.
Yes, they certainly should honor their pledge. There’s no question of that. Their problem, of course, is that they didn’t think through all the potential consequences of making such a pledge. They all assumed that the eventual candidate would be “of the Establishment.” Trump winning the nomination didn’t even feature in their worst nightmares at that point. That they didn’t consider all possibilities is their own fault, and doesn’t speak well of them.
However, Priebus has made it very clear that he’s not upset that they broke their pledge as such. He’s merely upset that they are not toeing the party line; his comments make that *very* clear. His sole interest is in the party – that they are making him look bad.
No wonder the party is going to Hades in a handbasket.
Jewels, Hades in a hand basket you think. How about holding the House and Senate majorities and also the White House and appointing at least 3 Supreme Court Justices to preserve our constitution for another 4 decades or so does that piss you off or scare you since your horse didn’t make it out of the gate! Trump is not a fawn of the Political elites and will work his butt off for ALL Americans ever people like you so get on board or our Train will run your ass over!
Deplorable Trumpsters, I have ordered and received 2,500 waterproof 1.5”x 2.5″ oval, self adhesive, vinyl white stickers and they will say, “Send a message to Hillary on her chances this Nov! Get a Prison pants suit made NOW!” I think you should place them in the urinals of the bars in your area! The owners will appreciate having much cleaner and better smelling rest rooms when the men actually start to aim! They will be waterproof so as to not wash out and I will be able to sell them for 5 for $3 if you enclose a stamped, self addressed envelope. Send your payment to: Kevin Kintzi, 2328 Silver Lane, New Brighton, MN 55112-7404.
I will donate all funds received back to the Trump campaign and that could be as much as $1,500 if all sell. Their cost will be right around .75 cents apiece and if someone could get them into the biased news media rest rooms that would be awesome! Please order and share with your friends and email lists! Order and post in the bars in your area and watch the smiles on the faces of men coming out of the bathrooms.
This is not a Trump campaign thing it is something I am doing myself since we have such a large army of devoted, dedicated and driven volunteers to spread the word and in my mind this is more than fitting for her and her actions on the many scandals she has been involved in up to her neck in her 30 years of public service! Let’s pee on her before she could do much worse to all of us and our kids! Please share this all over the internet which we are ruling while she has to pay rent on offices and hire staff and people to attend her high school gym rallies! It is looking like my state of Minnesota will go GOP for the first time in over 50+ years!
I have no use for lying Trump trolls who ignore the fact that their ‘celebrity crush’ broke that pledge in March!
It’s the Trumpkins who are the hypocrites here.
It’s ok with them that Trump broke ‘his pledge’ in March … but not ok that the others did later.
The party is going to hell in a hand basket, because Rence Prebus … Womack.. and the RNC Leadership completely disenfranchised all Conservatives, those pesky 2nd Amdt people, and anyone who has religious principles.
Screaming at the top of their lungs to people who refuse to vote for Trump … “You’re voting for Hilliary (when saying I’m voting for Johnson, Castle etc…)”, you need to “Shut up, Get in line, and Fail”, “We will win with or without your vote” …etc… is not the way to unite the party.
It’s the way to destroy it. And that is what is happening here.
Fact is … the Trump supporters bare the responsibility for (putting Hilliary in the white house) this going forward..
Debraraes Youy are the liar, Trump did not break a pledge in March. If you don’t vote for Trump then you are voting for hilary. If you vote for hilary then karma will get you.
That is her opinion. I don’t think the Republican Party is going to hell in a handbasket. I think it’s a fresh new breath of air that we have someone who is not in politics but in business. Trump used are corrupt system to make him successful. Now he wants to make America successful. Trump was hesitant and thoughtful before he committed to that pledge. These honourable men who I would have voted for any one of them to be my president, have shown themselves to not be trustworthy. They can’t even do as they pledged like Trump. November 8 let the people make their choice. And I am one of those people who are voting for Trump.
I agree with Peggy Hansen…the party was in a hand basket of hell and someone got in and call it what it is. It is a breath of fresh air. Many people do not like the way Donald Trump put things into perspective, it does not make him wrong. They don’t like his hair, his hands, his hats, his tan….so what. He is blatantly honest that hurts peoples sensitive feeling. But most of the people that feeling are hurt dished it out but couldn’t take it. I remember Trump did not go after anyone that did not go after him first and Cruz had a good chance to do well at one time, he blew it. He was patting Trump on the back early in the primary’s and had a knife in his hand. Did not work out for him. But people should be of integrity and keep their word. If they said they would support, they should. Trump’s brash, blatant, honest, straight forwardness hurts him as well as it does others. It is not as popular as the people that are well rehearsed teleprompter supported expert speech written lies of dribble of what people want to hear. I think we need someone to tell it like it is even if a lot of people don’t like it. America is feed up and refuses to be fooled again.
I see your conviction and your argument. I really do. However, I do not accept your conclusion. These are smart men, and they knew the oath they were taking. If they could not in their conscience, support a candidate, the stipulation should have been made at the time or, they can ask for dispensation now. Dispensation is an exemption from a rule or usual requirement. They have not done that, so it is now a revengeful public statement because these men’s feelings were hurt; this is not a decision of conscience. For that, Reince Priebus is well within his right to make it known that intolerant, childish behavior will not be acceptable. This party is not going to Hades, it is being cleaned of neo-cons and that is a good thing.
That is the biggest crock of bulls. .t I have heard all day. They agreed to support the elected nominee, not go do it or stfu and go home. Your political career is over.
Thank God Trump beat them. So what if he was a little rude about it. If any of them won, Clinton would win in November. Trump is our only chance out of this mess that Clinton and Obama put us in.
John Hart, thank the good lord that on video it was proven Trump was the one who broke the pledge back in March. Proving ‘your guy’ is nothing more than a liar, a hypocrite, and a trojan horse candidate to get Hilliary in the whitehouse!
Shame on your mother for spawning you!
Clinton will WIN in November. Bush probably could have swept the floor with Clinton. Probably NOT Cruz, or Rubio, maybe John Kasich. No, the Republican party wants to be Rude, Nasty, Racist, Xenophobic, etc etc. So they get Drumpf. This WILL doom the Republican Party. The ONLY way for the Repub’s to save itself from a slow Death is to see Drumpf lose in November, and re-establish a Party, that is NOT built on Hate, Racism, Xenophobia. Now, you have the Alt-Right and Tea-Baggers taking over. This WILL Doom Republican’s. This Platform HAS NOT worked in the Past, and it will NOT work in the present. History Forgotten will repeat itself. RIP Republican Party.
If these three will not honor a pledged and signed commitment then how could we ever trust them to live up to a pledge to us as voters ???? If they are so two faced then they will never deserve our trust and certainly not our votes for any office of public trust.
Don Gammill it was Trump who broke the pledge back in March … proving he didn’t deserve to be the nominee.
But you Rino scumbags still had to make ‘that’ the nominee. And you WHINE about the other nominees? SHOVE IT YOU HYPOCRITE!!!!
Trump did not break his pledge. He merely stated that he would. He was never given a chance to break the pledge because he became the nominee. It is impossible to break the pledge if no one you pledge to becomes the nominee. In fact, truth be told, the nominee for President has the FULL support of Donald J. Trump so he did, indeed keep his pledge. There. Said without calling you a single name or belittling you in any way. You might want to stop following Cruz and take a stand that keeps your honor in tact.
I totally agree with Reince Preibus. These guys are nothing more than sore losers who are acting like spoiled 5 year olds, stamping their feet and and having a meltdown because they lost. It’s beyond childish. If they can’t honor an agreement they made they should lose support and I have no problem with the RNC chair making that clear to them. It’s time to clean house anyway and Trump will do that, that’s the real reason a lot of politicians in both parties don’t like him. They’re afraid of losing their cushy jobs.
It should not be forgotten that Mr.Trump refused to sign that pledge at the beginning and was booed at the beginning..so why did Kasich, Bush, or Cruz sign that pledge if they had no intention of honoring it..well we know where they stand and what they will do if given the opportunity don’t we? Reince Priebus was right to get after them..this has been an ongoing problem with both parties..say one thing to the voters and do something different in the white house..go figure..
He did sign it.
I can’t believe Jewels doesn’t get what was said. I am an independant voter most of my life. Why, because when you JOIN a club you are Expected to support your “Club”, And while I may agree with certain things, I like making my own mind up. There is no blackmail going on, if they don’t want to follow the rules, (The rules they have forced others to follow) then they need to give up their membership. We all know its because they didn’t get their way. Such childishness should never be president and PEOPLE, will remember. What ticks me off so much is that MILLIONS of people are being smacked in the face by these people. Mr. Kasich is one that I just have never cared for even when he first began politics and his negative behavior during this campaign has once again shown how immature and me,me,me, he has been. He has many negatives going but this one OPEN disregard for his own party shows how he is out for himself, not the people. Even in planning the convention he made sure he gave the first tickets to two groups that were against Mr. Trump. These two groups were known to be violent. Look, Mr. Trump may not be able to correct all the negative things that MY OWN GOVERNMENT, has thown at the American people. And wether you want it or the Dems. want it, I, and the MILLIONS of Trump voters DO NOT WANT, central or One World Government. GOOD GRIEF, Uranium sold to Russia AND by the way, TRUMP said he admired Putins STRENGTH, and said nothing about his methods. STOP TWISTING what he says. Putin wants his country to stay independant THAT’S where the hatred comes in, DEMS, CAN’t control him. They are saying the same things about Trump, because they can’t control him. YET he has complied with the rules of the Republican party and you get several (Use to be respectable) member that won’t comply and they think they would make a better president? I think not. What I have against the Party is that You are NOT speaking out against Hilliary’s accusations. Most of the rhetoric is just lying but you are saying ….what? Mr Trump is a hard worker, he is pragmatic, and he does not want to let you down nor the people that support him. YOU, YOU made him go this far, too much on his own. MY goodness You can’t see that this is a business man THAT MIGHT HELP? Ms. Clinton and P. Obama are selling us and emploding or beliefs, and systems. Why would any of you take a chance on this happening?
Further I just saw a Commercial with several REPUBLICANS denouncing Trump. HOW SAMEEFUL, trying to hand it to CLINTON who wants her HUSBAND to run the Finance Department. GIVE IT A REST, GET RID of people that think CLINTON is better LET them go join the DEMS. That’s who they are fighting for. How wrong, Mr. Trump has at one time or another supported each of them. HOW DARE they do this. TURN COATS. Out for themselves NOT for AMERICA. I will NEVER support any group That supposts giving America away. People are awake, and they will remember what you you’ve done. Mr. Trump is in danger yet he keeps going, THINK for a Minute that just maybe, he wants to help. unless you also are for one world government.
I get so sick of hearing about why Ted Cruz won’t vote for Trump. He keeps whining about what Trump did to Heidi Cruz but no mention is ever made of what his Super PAC did to Melania TRump. Did they really expect Trump NOT to defend his wife? And the unflattering photo of Heidi in no way compared to the nude photo of Melania. And I don’t want to hear how Cruz had nothing to do with that. He played some pretty dirty stunts while he was running and made a 3 ring circus of his campaign. That photo of Melania was right in line with the devious sort of tactics he was using and I truly believe he had a hand in it. Even if we give him the benefit of the doubt and say he had nothing to do with it, he failed to show any kind of indignation worthy of that stunt toward his Super PAC and failed to give Trump any slack for possibly not realizing Cruz wasn’t behind it. And no one gave Trump any credit for coming to his wife’s defense. And somehow that all got turned around and became Trump’s fault. Exactly how does THAT work?
Kasich was a total joke. The candidate that wouldn’t drop out. Rubio and Paul Ryan both gave lukewarm endorsements for Trump but have done nothing else except make just enough comments to be sure the public knows they didn’t really mean what they said. Jeb Bush is right up there with Kasich in my book and just 1 step down from Cruz (the worst of them all). If any of these people ever run for another office, I will vote Democrat to keep them out. They showed their voters exactly what they thought of them and the Republican party. They showed us their true colors and it wasn’t pretty. They made me ashamed to be in the same party with them. If we hadn’t had Trump in the mix, I’d have switched to another party to keep some sense of my pride intact.
These people have ruined the face of the Republican party. We have many good people in this party and they shamed and embarrassed us all with their childish pranks. I’m not sure my pride in being a Republican will ever be the same but I know not one of them will ever get another vote from me.
Trump is no Conservative. He’s certainly not Liberal but more a hybrid of Fascist-Racist– & Sociopath, Preibus is participating in the complete destruction of the Republican Party. Any true Conservative could not willingly back Trump; many Republicans have said they can’t support Trump and even said they will be voting for Hillary Clinton. Can you blame them?
Come on guys lets get on with this. Do you really want to be under the Obama/Clinton administration. All our lives are at risk.
Can’t believe anybody can support Clinton no matter how many slip ups Trump has. As far as I know he hasn’t killed anyone and he doesn’t plan to kill innocent babies in utero . He plans to clean up Washington and help rid our debt. That’s worth everything!
I can’t believe some of these responses.. True Christians can’t not vote for killery!!! She wants Christians to leave Christianity and become muslim!!!! That’s just not happening! I’m going out in my neighborhood and talk with neighbors and help Trump get elected. I’m not interested in one world government and sure as hell not losing my freedom cause some convict is running the sane asylum….people wake up ………
