Reince Priebus, The Trumpster, Paul Rayn & The GOP Establishment
Just watched an interview on Fox N Friends with GOP Chairman Reince Priebus in regard to the recent meeting between presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan.
Several talking points were discussed and repeated over and over again by Priebus. The first was that the meeting went very well and was a positive one. That not all the wrinkles were ironed out but its a strong first step in working things out between the two.
Also noted by Reince was that the voters and delegates have spoken and they want Trump to be the nominee. That the GOP and all its different factions, including those who would prefer a third party candidate rather than The Donald, must come together and support him.
Last, Mr. Priebus said that the old GOP playbook is out the window since Trump entered the race.
Bottom line?
Trump is now in control. No doubt in my mind. Little by little the rest of the pieces will fall into place and the GOP will support, help fund and hope The Donald wins the race for the POTUS.
As an interesting side note in relation to Mr. Trump & the GOP Establishment's newly minted warm and fuzzy relationship. The reason I think Mr. Trump is talking so nicely with Paul Ryan, Priebus, etc. is that he wants to win obviously. But he also wants payback.
What am I talking about?
As all of us who have been following the presidential race knows, Mr. Trump has hammered home the fact over and over again that he is self funded. That he doesn't take money from wealthy businessmen, PACS or lobbyists and thus is beholden to no one. And his supporters love this. Gives the Trumpster street cred so to speak.
Well that's about to change.
Once the bulk of the GOP get 100% behind The Donald as the nominee, billions will be raised in order to win the race against presumptive Democrat nominee, Hilary Clinton. So yep, Trump will use funds other than his own money.
But there's another interesting fact. The Donald recently mentioned that he LOANED himself the funds to run in the primaries. Okay. So how is he going to pay himself back?
The GOP Establishment of course will do so out of the billions that will be raised to run against Hilary.
One last thought in relation to my point above.
How will The Trumpster continue to sincerely represent his loyal supporters with their passionate anti-Establishment stance since he will be taking money from them as well as playing by their rules? Will they even recognize that this is happening? And if so, will they care?
Gonna be very interesting. Stay tuned.
