The Positives of "The Pledge"

Yes, it's generic and not bold enough. But the good news about the Republican Pledge is that, two key points - don't raise taxes and repeal Obamacare, are both mentioned explicitly.

Assuming a GOP victory in November, they can say, "this is our mandate from the voters." Heck, when Obama won, he claimed he had a mandate from voters to do whatever he pleased (even though he ran on cutting taxes, as hard as that is to believe).
