Billionaire Donald Trump set about unifying a fractured Republican party Thursday, fortified by the support of a key party leader as he launches into battle for the White House against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Late Wednesday the top Republican in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, publicly endorsed Trump's candidacy "to prevent what would be a third term of Barack Obama."
"As the presumptive nominee, he now has the opportunity and the obligation to unite our party around our goals,” McConnell said in a statement.
Trump's commanding victory in Indiana's primary Tuesday pushed remaining challengers Ted Cruz and then Ohio Governor Kasich out of the race, leaving the real estate tycoon an uncontested path to the nomination.
Their capitulations brought the curtain down on one of the most contentious and chaotic nomination battles in generations, in which Trump pummelled no fewer than 16 rivals into submission.
"Now we'll unify the party," Trump, 69, told Fox News on Wednesday. "We're going to get people together."...
...."I know people aren't sure right now what a President Trump will be like," he told The NYT.
"But things will be fine. I'm not running for president to make things unstable for the country."

Oh, and you and your gang of FRiends are doing all you can to unify in your way persuasive, civil way...I get it.

I’m perfectly happy to forgive Cruz calling me low info, a defacto klansman, etc. It’s Cruzers who want to refight the primary and divide the GOP. “Trump is not a conservative” is EXACTLY the same garbage we heard during the primary. Give it up. Trump won the primary. The enemy now is the Hildabeast.
Give what up? I, for one, have never stated that Trump is not a Conservative so stop the knee jerk, defensive reaction accusing non-Trumpbots for casting aspersions on the man...
I have been flamed within an inch of my life for asking people here to not get personal with fellow Conservatives...especially if we need unification against Killary but the invectives keep coming...it’s shameful and unworthy of FReepers.
They will stew! Pouting and pounding their baby rattles against the side of the crib helps no one.
He was an awful candidate. Deal with it.
Trump has, and will continue to champion his agenda, trying to get the voters onboard with him.
What he isn’t going to do is run after you.
The guy that allows you to post here, Jim Robinson, has a little different angle on that agenda.
If you’re posting here to start a flame war he will simply kick you out. It happens daily as needed.
Both Donald and Jim’s agenda are very simple.
don’t count on trolling here much longer.

Didn’t you learn that in grade school?”
I guess your are still in the 1st grade since you still don’t understand private property right and that 1st amendment rights are not without limits. Grow up, kid, what you have to say does warrant demanding everyone listen to you. You were breast fed just waaaaay tooooo long.
