Fearing a scenario in which candidate Donald Trump refuses to support the party's eventual nominee and runs as a third-party candidate, the Virginia and North Carolina Republican parties are considering requiring candidates to sign a party loyalty oath in order to obtain ballot access in the presidential primary.

I hate this idea. I don't want Trump as president, but I hate this idea.

50% of voters are Independent/3rd Party people who have abandoned the two establishment parties. Well...per the 2014 Mid-Term numbers. Establishment parties are crapping bricks, for sure. Heh.

NC is filled with carpetbaggers from my neck of the woods. They could vote for the loudmouth New Yawker.

That sounds like a great way to get Trump to ... well, refuse to support the party's eventual nominee and run as a third-party candidate ...

(And that's assuming that it even "works" - if doesn't, then what's the point?)

Stupid party is stupid.
