RNC shuts down Hutchinson's push to amend loyalty pledge amid Trump indictment drama

Top Republican Party officials have a message for any candidate worried about signing a loyalty pledge to potentially support a convicted felon: There’s the door.

Despite at least one candidate expressing concerns about the Republican National Committee’s requirement that they support the eventual nominee in order to qualify for the debate stage this summer, the committee said there will be no changes to its protocols.

In light of Donald Trump’s indictment for his handling of classified documents, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s campaign on Wednesday requested a meeting with RNC officials about amending the loyalty pledge, according to two people with knowledge of the conversation granted anonymity to speak candidly about a private conversation.

Members of RNC leadership arranged a call with Hutchinson on Thursday, but the former governor himself did not take part in the conversation, only a staff member. During the brief call, RNC leaders declined to make any changes to debate requirements and told the staffer the committee is “not dealing with hypotheticals” on Trump’s legal fate. One of the individuals with knowledge of the call described it as “contentious.”

In a statement, RNC senior adviser Richard Walters said the GOP primary candidates are only “being asked to respect the decision of Republican primary voters and support the eventual nominee.”

Most in US say don't ban race in college admissions but its role should be small: AP-NORC poll

As the Supreme Court decides the fate of affirmative action, most U. S. adults say the court should allow colleges to consider race as part of the admissions process, yet few believe students’ race should ultimately play a major role in decisions, according to a new poll.

The May poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 63% say the Supreme Court should not block colleges from considering race or ethnicity in their admission systems. The poll found little divide along political or racial lines.

But those polled were more likely to say factors including grades and standardized test scores should be important, while 68% of adults said race and ethnicity should not be a significant factor.

The poll reflects general support for affirmative action even as the future of the practice remains in doubt. The Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on lawsuits challenging admissions systems at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina. With a conservative majority on the court, many college leaders are bracing for a decision that could scale back or eliminate the use of race in admissions.

Americans’ views on race in admissions — that it should be permitted but only be a small factor — generally line up with the way colleges say they use it.

Many colleges, especially selective ones, say race is one of many factors that officials can weigh when choosing which students get accepted. They say it is not a large influence but may sometimes give an edge to underrepresented students in close decisions. Colleges defend the practice as a way to bring a wide mix of students to campus, saying racial diversity benefits all students.

This young woman and I chat on and off. She thinks I am cute - she told me. She has said she loves me and misses me but I don’t know her well. I don’t say I miss you to someone unless it’s romance but she could be different with how she used the term. We are both left handed and she said it’s fate and laughed at it when she found out but she sent a love heart Whenever I write to her she gives love hearts. She sends me photos of herself and sometimes at random. She sent me a photo with her hiding her face - she is very active on social media and never hides her face to anyone else in any pictures so I thought it was kind of different. Why do I get this picture? Why hiding her face? Of course I hope she likes me but of course I don’t know Whenever I write to her she opens it straight away and either reacts to the chats or writes back Something happened which caused me to fear losing her because I do like her so I said to her I love you because she has said it to me before. I said it because I thought yeah friends can say that to each other. She didn’t say anything. She posted a meme about dating an older guy after immediately after I said ily to her. I am like 5 years older than her. I could be overthinking because I want to know the future and of course I want her to like me but yeah what do you all think?
