Thursday Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced he has signed the Republican National Committee’s pledge stating he would not run as an independent candidate if he does not win the Republican nomination in 2016. The pledge that was sent to all the candidates reads: “I [name] affirm that if I do not win the 2016 Republican nomination for president of the United States I will endorse the 2016 Republican presidential nominee regardless of who it is. I further pledge that I will not seek to run as an independent or write-in candidate nor will I seek or accept the nomination for president of any other party.” Trump said, “Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you for all being here. This is some turnout, my great honor. The chairman just left as you probably know, and he’s been extremely fair. The RNC has been absolutely terrific over the last two-month period.
