Priebus won’t be able to stop Trump. He’s a paid employee chosen by some members. Most members will get behind Trump as the new head of the GOP.

Trump has gone out of his way to piss off the members of the RNC, and you think they would support him rather than Priebus??? More than 2/3 of them (which is what it takes to remove the chairman)?? Since they are selected by state members of the party (the "establishment"), Trump really has no leverage over them. So why would they get behind Trump?

You're not going to get an intelligible answer to that. I've asked it in this thread and elsewhere, and it is like those Trump supporters just stick their fingers in their ears and hum so they can't hear you.

I have to add that there are some more reasonable Trump supporters out there as well, and it must be enormously frustrating for some of them to have to listen to terrible arguments being put forth by people who supposedly are on their side.

Yes.

After Trump wins the nomination, the RNC members that haven’t fled to the nearest exit will fall in behind the new leader or they will become irrelevant.

The choice will be support and unify, and gain something, or promote disunity, and lose a lot more.

This is always the way it works. As those in top advisor positions with decades of political campaign experience say, there is always a period of ‘healing’ that follows political campaigns, then unity results.
