Carly Fiorina was asked today if she would support Donald Trump as the Republican nominee despite their disagreements. Here’s her response:
By pledging her support to the nominee, she basically indicts Trump for not making the same pledge already, adding that it’s very important to convey to voters that you are really a Republican and that you are prepared to unite the party in order to defeat the Democrats if you win.
Trump has yet to do that but I think voters continue to give him latitude on this. For how much longer, though, remains to be seen. The leverage argument may only work for so long.
