Mixed messages at summit

PARK CITY, Utah — Donald Trump can be an effective president, and he’s going to win with you or without you, Republican Chairman Reince Priebus told several hundred of the party’s top donors and strategists Saturday.

Trump is setting a dangerous example for Americans by promoting “trickledown racism,” and the party must look beyond this presidential election to find its future, 2012 nominee Mitt Romney told the same group later that morning.

The speeches, delivered at Romney’s annual business and politics summit, underscore the challenge facing the party as it comes to terms with its controversial presumptive presidential nominee.
