The pledge includes a clause saying that the candidate will support the eventual GOP nominee.

Much more likely at this point that he just wins the nomination. There is still time for that to change, but nothing that indicates that it will.

    We all know they're in Mississippi, but there are chapters in some good states, too.

    Right, there's really no reason for Trump to participate in the debates anyway - he's way far out in front, so it would only hurt him. Hell, this might even be an excuse to skip them without looking like he's afraid to.

    Trump doesn't believe he will win the nomination. If he believed he would win, there would be no problem with him signing the pledge. He believes the eventual nominee will be one of 3 or 4 people he despises and cannot support.
