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.”

Donald Trump is the canidate, I dont know why they are going through all of this. My mind is already made up.

Trump is the Godfather. Trump is the one...

Why should they be a loyalty clause for felons?

Well, I think he's dumb as hell because he opened himself up to this, after a 4 year witch hunt. He absolutely knew any opening he left would be attacked, his lawyers told him that, but he still did it. That's like being with a hot woman who has AIDS, you're told she does, and you still raw dog her. Zero sympathy when you test positive.

Still, this is politically motivated prosecution, and there is no law against voting for, or electing a felon, you just have to be a native born US citizen. Nor is it illegal for a president to pardon his own crimes. Like say Biden is indicted for the same crimes and Hillary Clinton. It is 100% legal for him to pardon himself and her if he is still in office. Same with if Trump got elected and pardoned himself.

Personally I think this is just more divisive drama, like the whole outlaw or don't outlaw gas stoves, simply to distract us from how we're entering a depression. Or possible nuclear war.

They say not guilty until proved so, but I don't believe so.

It's totally non-binding and therefore pointless. Anyone can sign the pledge to get into debates and change their mind later.
