Trump has to rein in skeptical Republicans

Donald Trump is not a good man, but the shakeup of the Republican Party is the best thing that has happened to it in a long time. It was all different names, but it was still controlled by the same people and principles. Zak Jan

What has made this country the greatest the world has ever seen is that anyone has the ability to become president. It’s quite amazing. I understand that career politicians are a little fussed up, but what we’re witnessing is a wonderful thing for this country. Bob Zimmerman

Republican voters didn’t think too much of the old establishment.

Republicans need to support Trump or face the extinction their Party. Mike Smith I really hope America is smart enough to denounce Trump in November. The Trump- led Republican party is a joke. Robert Montgomery The GOP convention seems hollow, fake and full of fraud.

I’m not sure any convention in 2016 will mean that much to voters. They are caught in an avalanche of dishonesty, bigotry, hate and fear. David Gregory

We asked our followers if they thought the Republican Party would unite behind Donald Trump now that he’s officially the nominee. Not entirely. Trump’s forcing the party to look in a mirror. Many can’t or won’t accept the group image they see.

@ DavidWJones2016 I am a Republican, but so far the only thing uniting us is the hate for Hilary Clinton. No talk of policy, just hate. I’m sad for us.

@ IUandUCgrad

Of course they will unite, in order to prevent Clinton from taking one step into the Oval Office. @ NerharH

Not fully because there’s no reason to vote for Trump. The focus is, and will be, to vote against Clinton.

@ jokrberry1016

They knew this was coming, and if they weren’t united before, I can’t imagine they would be now. @ silveroinks
