Trump meets with RNC in Washington

Donald Trump is meeting on Thursday with Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus during his trip to Washington, just two days after he disavowed his pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee.

The real estate mogul has had a fraught relationship with the RNC, openly flirting at times with a third-party bid and often complaining about mistreatment from the Republican Party in general and the RNC in particular.

The RNC has publicly stated that it would back Trump if he clinches the nomination, but has also said it is preparing for the possibility of a contested convention.

Trump’s visit to the RNC came as he swung back into presidential mode on Thursday, also convening a meeting in Washington with members of his newly established foreign policy team and rolling out his U.S. House Leadership Committee as the real estate mogul tries to build a more sturdy campaign.

Trump’s volatility has been on full display over the past two days as he verbally attacked a reporter who accused his campaign manager of battery, disavowed the GOP loyalty oath, bemoaned the Geneva Conventions, and suggested that women should be punished for abortions if they become outlawed – before quickly reversing himself.

The fallout threatened to unravel the limited headway he appeared to be making after Super Tuesday, as it became clearer that Trump was marching toward the nomination. Trump’s spin through Washington earlier this month showed flashes of a more evolved candidate, as he delivered a commanding speech before AIPAC and huddled with lawmakers at the law firm of his election lawyer.

I think the guy Trump beats 2/3 of the time and who has no realistic chance of winning should drop out, but that is just me.

I approve of what you P,O.S.TED!
By the way Cruz eligibility case is heading to the SCOTUS from PA.
PA is in judge Alito district He will recogmend whether the court takes it.
No standing issue has been ruled to be heard on merit

Rinse really needs to have a talk with TC
First the tabloid fodder and now eligibility issue.
Mmm? MMMMM?

Naw.

To Trump this is just another deal, albeit a very important one for the country. Just all in a good days work.

before quickly reversing himself.

Does anyone have the video or Trump actual statement on this reversal? The original, I mean... not regurgitated by media. (the article has a quote but does not name a source)

Yes Cruz should drop out since there is no way he can win.

Yes.

Cruz needs to drop out. He can’t win the general w/o Trump voters.

1. It is nearly impossible for Cruz to have the most delegates at the opening of the convention.
2. If Cruz gets the nomination without leading in the popular vote, Trump voters will rightly insist that the election was stolen from Trump and that the process is fatally corrupt.
3. Cruz is going out of his way to insult and sabotage Trump which will alienate Trump voters.

Cruz should join Trump in fighting the GOPe, but that’s not happening.
