OK, so Trump and Priebus (two of the most smug individuals I can think of) get together....

Trump meets with RNC chief in DC, days after backing out of pledge | Fox News

Trump said in a tweet that he had a “very nice meeting” with Priebus and that he looked forward to bringing the party together.

In an interview Thursday night with on Fox News' "On The Record" with Greta van Susteren, Priebus said he could not say exactly what he talked about in the meeting with Trump, but that candidates aren't "going to get the data and tools of the RNC, run to be our nominee, and tell me they’re not going to support the party."

Did Trump cave, or did he strike a deal?

Trump won as he holds all of the cards ...

If the RNC continues to do everything in its power to block Trump from the nomination, Trump runs as an Independent and the Dems get the WH. I'm sure Reince understands Trump's appeal in the Northeast and that Cruz has no shot of getting close to Trump's delegate count.

IMO, you will see the GOP move to block Trump disintegrate and more jumping on his bandwagon.

That is how we got Woodrow Wilson. The most damaging president to the US Constitution to date. Yes, even worse than Obama.

So you agree then that Cruz and Kasich should bow out now and endorse Trump?

I would imagine that those potential 'rules' came up in this meeting...if not, they just got together for a morning of coffee and donuts and shootin' the breeze...

Sorry, some of us don't believe that Trump would be damaging to the US Constitution.

More establishment, or more voters? Don't think any concessions by the establishment will translate into more votes in the primaries or general for Trump at this point. Who would take them seriously?

No. Where did I say that?


Do you even understand how on gods green Earth, Woodrow Wilson got elected with less than 50% of the votes.


Cruz, Kasich and Trump are all still in the same political party, last time I checked.


We all know you're not that uninformed, so don't play like that.
