Trump should be able to use all the contested convention talk.
Point out how dirty, disgusting, nasty, divisive it is likely to be. That even now republicans are arguing that we SHOULD ignore the winner in delegates. The rules say that people does not necessarily win the nomination, but it’s hard to make the case to voters that it’s fair unless the actual nominee have overwhelming support (and there is no such person right now)
The process will be more vulgar than anything Trump has said. No matter who becomes the nominee it will give Hilary an advantage. And it gives the democrats a better chance of getting the senate back if it’s divisive.
If you don’t want a contested convention Trump will very soon be the only choice. The real decision will then be Trump or Hillary.
I’d guess he’s making that case behind the scenes to potential endorsers and those who want to attack him now but are worried about the divisive convention.
HE’s talking more about unity.
