South Carolina Republican Party Now Requires Presidential Primary Candidates to Sign Loyalty Pledge

According to this story, a few months ago the South Carolina Republican Party revised its declaration of candidacy form to require candidates in its presidential primary to promise they will support the party’s nominee in November, no matter who it turns out to be.

In 2012, when there was no such pledge in South Carolina’s Republican Party, Gary Johnson ran in the South Carolina Republican primary but he abandoned that campaign and was on the November 2012 South Carolina ballot as the Libertarian nominee.

South Carolina Republican Party Now Requires Presidential Primary Candidates to Sign Loyalty Pledge — 5 Comments

  1. More and more LIE detectors needed regarding *support* of a robot party hack candidate ???

    NO primaries, caucuses and conventions.
    P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.

  2. It says, “I hereby affirm that I generally believe in and intend to support the nominee and platform of the Republican Party in the November 8, 2016 general election.”

  3. Hmmm. One more *void for vagueness* test oath ???

    Is *generally* like *reasonably* ??? — so often used by the MORON SCOTUS robot hacks.

  4. That’s similar to the form that Dennis Kucinich refused to sign in Texas in 2008, and was left off the primary ballot.
