Dump the GOP elite!
I’m with you. Trump needs to heed the counsel of the wise Jeff Sessions.
He knows who can be trusted, and who the rats are. The rats are now scurrying about trying to protect their individual and collective fiefdoms.
Trump needs access to the GOP voter information databank, which can be helpful to him. He will also need some GOP money for the general. He needs to run up his delegate count now so that he can have the power to handle platform and rules issues, as well as the inevitable and desperate delegate challenges to come.
He absolutely cannot waver on the promises he has made during his campaign, whether Ryan and the rest of the gang like it or not. They need to get on board with Trump, not the other way around. He needs to make clear that he will welcome supporters, but that should they seek to actively undermine him, he will do his best to destroy them. Reward friends, punish enemies. He did pretty well running against the GOPe in the primaries. If they force him to do so, I have no doubt that he will gladly do it again in the general.
