..... Looks like the fun is over and folks are picking up their toys and going home. However, This is where Trump should really begin to shine by displaying those incredible unifying, negotiational and motivational skills that he guarantees that he possesses.
Who cares what the GOP establishment thinks or wants?
They’re not who the American people want and they think their presence is wanted.
If we don’t see them at the convention, we can really look forward to the future of the GOP.
Ryan’s Congress has a 11% approval rating. Ryan needs Trump. Not the other way around.
You can’t negotiate peace with a society that wants war. See Israel / palestinians
You can’t negotiate unity with a group that refuses to change their views in order to unify.
If the GOPe’s version of “unifying” is “Do everything the same way we’ve been doing it” then what is the point of unifying?
As an example, the GOPe refuses to change their views on NAFTA. Trump wants it gone. They do not. He won the argument with the voters. They chose him, not Bush, not Rubio, not Kasich etc...Shouldn’t the party leadership reflect the views of the majority of their party? Shouldn’t the party leadership come to the negotiating table willing to make changes?
Instead they continue to snub, denigrate Trump and all of his voters by proxy. I’m not saying they should give him every single thing he asks for but the big planks that he ran on? Immigration, trade deals etc...yeah, they need to change their stance.
Changing their stance on a few of those things would show the voters that the GOPe is actually listening and it would likely result in a more reasonable Trump.
