Trump brags that he is a deal maker. If he has hopes of winning this he has to used the machinery the party has in place to help Trump win. Read up on how the Party sat on its hands after the Goldwater nomination.Clinton is certainly not sitting in the catbird seat the way that Johnson was in 1964, but right now Trump Trump is still in no position to dictate terms. He hs to show he won’t hurt the candidates down ticket.
Trump is in the process of creating a new party few if any of the current Party bosses will be part of. We The People are fed up with politicians who put America and Americans dead last on their priority list, undermine American and Western culture to suit people who cater to the perversions of the Nobility, spew out tens of thousands of laws and regulations they exempt themselves from, and sit on their toadstool puffing a hookah like the Cheshire Cat every few years grinning and saying they're looking out for the average guy.
The worm has turned, my friend, and the list of who Trump is going to have to make a deal with will be surprisingly small leaving many a "faithful Republican" rat bastard without their little piles of garbage to hide in.
WHAT “machinery”? The “machinery” that Cruz used to win his voterless primaries? That Trump hung around his neck?
