Trump says there’s no reason for Republican Party unity

A growing chorus of senior Republican leaders have joined the “anyone but Trump movement,” including 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and the last two Republican presidents, George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush.

“Does it have to be unified?” Trump asked about the Republican Party.

“I’m very different than everybody else, perhaps, that’s ever run for office. I actually don’t think so,” he told ABC’s “This Week” in excerpts provided ahead of Sunday’s broadcast.

“I think it would be better if it were unified, I think it would be — there would be something good about it. But I don’t think it actually has to be unified in the traditional sense.”

Saw it as I was passing the TV in the hotel lobby. From what I gathered McCain is pointing out that it's their racist and ignorant element. Well guess what Johnnie you fed off it for years and then authenticated it putting Palin on a national ticket.

If the Republican party can survive...

1) The Great Depression

2) Waterfate

3) Enormous debt (Reagan, Bush I+II)

4) Terrorist attacks

5) Losing New Orleans then not doing anything but screwing up for a long while.

6) Creating the Tea Party

Then sadly they will survive Rump.
