Chairman of the Republican National Committee Reince Priebus claims that he “never worried” about Donald Trump running a third party campaign.
During an interview on CNN’s “New Day” on Wednesday, Priebus explained, “The truth is that it’s extremely difficult, that once you start running on ballots as a Republican or Democrat, it’s very, very difficult in this country to then change your mind and reverse course because most states have what they call ‘loser laws’ which means once you’re on the ballot in one party, you can’t switch.” (RELATED: Donald Trump: ‘No Chance’ Of A Third Party Bid)
Priebus insisted, “I never lost any sleep over it. I always thought that would be the case. But on top of that, I knew when the candidates gave me their pledge and when they agreed to their word that they were beginning to support our party, I never doubted that any of these folks would reverse course.”
“I trusted the people that were on the stage and I always knew that they would adhere to the pledge,” Priebus explained. (RELATED: RNC Comms Director On Carson’s Threat To Leave The GOP: It’s ‘Quite Silly’)
Priebus argued that the thought that Trump would run as an independent “was one of those narratives out there that percolates every once in a while that we deal with but it doesn’t mean that we’re actually sitting around biting our fingernails, you know, concerned that something like that will actually happen.”
