Keep your word

Politico has a story about a group of “anti-Trump Republicans” who are going to be buying air time to run an ad urging Trump to drop out of the race.

The ad is titled “Keep Your Word.”

You see, back in October of last year, Trump pointed out in an interview that he would drop out of the primaries if he began dropping in the polls.

This faction of Team Eeyore want Donald to “keep his word” and drop out because polls show him losing to Hillary in November.

First of all, in October, Trump was talking about whether or not to stay in the primary race for the nomination.

He won the nomination.

But that’s beside the point.

Let’s talk about “keep your word,” shall we?

When you make a pledge to support the eventual party nominee, then you don’t.

Is that an example of “keep your word?”

I know. I know. They’re only following their “conscience.”

It’s worth noting that the people behind this ad are the same people who wanted the delegates to have the right not to “keep their word” at the GOP Convention.

Yup. The “free the delegates” people.

Remember them? They wanted delegates to be free to “vote their conscience.” In other words, not keep their word to support the candidate they were sent to the convention to support.

Well, ain’t that a kick in the head?!

This is like having someone scold you for swearing by saying, “How many f*cking times do I have to f*cking tell you to not f*cking swear?!”

I’m sorry. But the people who advocated for others not to keep their word when it comes to Trump, have one hell of a lot of nerve to now demand Trump “keeps his word” to drop out of the primaries if his poll numbers plummet.

The primaries are over! Hello!

[Which, just goes to show that I was right about Team Eeyore. They’re like the Japanese soldiers found on deserted islands who think the war is still going on.]

Hey, “Keep Your Word” folks. Let me put this in language you will understand.

Sure, Donald Trump might have told NBC in October that he would drop out of the primaries if he sank in the polls. But having won primaries, he had a crisis of conscience. And now, his conscience is telling him he must follow his conscience, and so, in good conscience, he must see the campaign through to election day.

I’m sure you’d all agree that it is a-okay not to “keep your word” if you are following your conscience.

Right?!
