Trump sold out to the Republican party by signing off that he would not run as an independent. Isn't this America? Isn't this a free country? Why should the leaders of either party be able to control the workings of who will be elected? The two-party system is a cancer on the American landscape that was a huge problem for the founding fathers. The two-party system is easily bought off by the money interest, and as we see in government, it inhibits progress and insures status quo. Party or country? Donald answered that question by his pledge to the party bosses.
