Donald Trump knows uniting the Republican Party after a particularly brutal presidential primary season is the most critical and delicate challenge he faces as the party's presumptive nominee.

“We have to put the party back together,” Trump said in an interview with the Tribune-Review. The billionaire businessman pointed to his outsider status and populist message as appealing qualities that attract people to his candidacy.

I think his next challenge is to decide between a clean sweep of all 50 states and DC or let Hillary get one or two to avoid a complete embarassment.

I hope my state of Maryland defies the odds and votes Trump in November. We do have a GOP governor, who unfortunately sat on the sidelines in the primary and still hasn’t budged.

Write a new contract with America like the one in 1994. Ask all Republicans to contribute in the creation of the contract. Make it ten points that the contract will focus on. People my not like Donald Trump personally, but if they agree with the contract they will vote for him in order to get it passed. Newt could be brought in to help write the new contract. This contract will help strengthen Senate and House races down the line. The contract will end up being the platform of the Republican convention.

Great idea! When people are involved and participate it gets them motivated to fight for the cause.

Certainly a challenge. But I am sure Trump is up to it.

I hope he will obliterate Hillary or whomever the Dems will have as their nominee.

It would be a whole lot easier if so many people weren’t putting their egos ahead of the country. (Romney, Cruz, Kasich, Bush, etc.)

I thought this thoughtful video would be appropriate as how Trump would unify not only the Republicans, but also the nation:

The pluses out way the minuses for Newt as VP. He could help enormously in this regard.
