WERE SEVERAL INTENSE WEEKS OF 
PRIVATE CONSULTATION AND 
CAJOLING. 
>> THERE IS YOUR PLEDGE. 
>> THE CHAIR GOT DONALD TRUMP TO
PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE GOP. 
>> SO I WILL BE TOTALLY PLEDGES 
MY ALLEGIANCE TO THE REPUBLICAN 
PARTY AND THE CONSERVATIVE 
PRINCIPLES FOR WHICH IT STANDS.
WE WILL GO OUT AND WE WILL FIGHT
HARD, AND WE WILL WIN.
>> SOURCES SAY GETTING TRUMP TO 
PROMISE NOT TO RUN AS 
INDEPENDENT HAS BEEN A LEADING 
REPUBLICAN GOALS, SINCE THE 
BOMBASTIC BILLIONAIRE REFUSED TO
