Once he got to the ballroom the GOP front-runner spoke more about his disinterest in healing the Republican Party than about California and the June 7 primary, reports The Times, and included mocking his rivals as "disgusting," dumb, and as losers.

But even though he seemed to be impatient about getting along with his critics, he predicted that "ideally" they would come together. He then said he thinks he'll win "even if we're not together. There are some people I honestly don’t want their endorsement.”

Trump  then turned to another point, saying "there should be and there has to be unity," and added, "Would I win, can I win without it? I think so."

There you have it, folks. He says he doesn't need our support. So if he gets the nomination and loses in November, it's not our fault. We were just listening to him when he said he didn't need us.

[sinkspur]

He's about to find out if he can win without GOP party unity and, in fact, with some of us working actively against him.

[austingirl]

And yet he has hired Paul Manafort, the ultimate GOPe insider/lobbyist to work the convention and has gone to DC to meet with GOPers like Ryan.

Trump has always been establishment, normally Dem establishment.

I hope he gets squished.

Jes' havin' a little fun:
Lincoln: I don't need Whig unity to win, "I honestly don't want their endorsement" ...  ;)

Who won in 1860?
Which party didn't exist afterwards?
(that ain't joshin'!)

It wasn't the Whigs that Lincoln discarded. They were dead before Lincoln's first nomination. It was the entire Southern United States—and when he did win without even being on the ballot there, and the South picked up its ball and went its own way, what did Lincoln do?

Invade. Hence why we had the Civil War.

King Trumpy will never unite the republican party.   And he knows it.   in the end he'll pick a dem as his VP and try to win by pulling from the other side.   I'd bet $20 on it.....

Where did Trump state, " he doesn't need our support"?

Go back to the article and read it over again.

If you can't find it, you're even more dense than I thought.

Wow, that's an interesting thought. Trump could well be that destructive to the Republic.

[Bigun]

Very good!  He surely will not have mine! In fact, I  will actively wok against him!

What you stated is NOT there, but you knew that. Why do you find it necessary to lie?

You have way underestimated the density; try neutron star dense.

[Mod1]

Enough with the insults. 

[Bigun]

What will that mean?  I mean, how do we actively work against him during the general?  I can't help but snarl at every mention of his name -- and Hillary's -- but....once in the general I think I'll try to just ignore the whole thing.  I'll have no horse in the race.

Simply means tha I  will actively work FOR Gary Johnson.

Better for us to focus on saving what we can of the down-ticket candidates.  A Trump candidacy in the general is going to do just as much damage to them as it will to the presidency.

I know nothing of Gary Johnson.  Is he the libertarian?  I'm not voting libertarian.  I'll write in a vote.  Probably Cruz.

Write yourself in!

Yes. He will be the Libertarian nominee. He is a former Governor of New Mexico  and did a darn good job there.

I lay you odds he will pick Sanders as his VP.

[A-Lert]

Enough with the insults.

That's all he has.

[don-o]

Let's see if I have this straight.

Trump will unify, but he doesn't even need unity and there's a bunch of people he will not unify with.

I wrote a satire one time saying he had picked Mark Burnette  (producer of the apprentice)   It almost got me banned at FR.... but it was pretty funny.

Ahh, now you've gone and killed the Trump buzz with your rational thinking.

I do not watch TV but listen to radio - Sirius XM - so I listen pretty carefully. Verbal incoherence kinda make me think, "What did I just hear? He's making a statement and contradicting it with his next breath.."

When I read his words  in writing, I'm thinking, "How would you even diagram that sentence?"
