True, but Trump doesn't have the 1,237 yet, he will, he just can't call him the nominee yet, it's like he's the alledged nominee at this point. They ain't going to try crap at this point ...

No, it doesn't. That's GOP speak for "game over." This is total capitulation. It is finished. One choice remains: Trump or Clinton.

Isn't he being premature? What about John Kasich, the Obi-Won Kenobi candidate?

"Presumptive" isn't just a word a the RNC.

"Presumptive" officially entitles Trump to the considerable resources of the RNC, including strategists, speechwriters, staff.

It means that Trump will have extraordinary input/control into the convention, including speakers, format, etc.

I bet Trump turns the Convention into a huge "Must See TV" party for the entire nation. Viewership will be at an alltime high.

There will not be an unending array of long-winded speeches from politicians that no one wants to hear from.

Actually a strong statement since he hasn't actually accrued the 1237 delegates ...yet.

I believe his tweet was a formal concession that trump is the guy folks need to support while they set about shutting Hillary down....
