Party. Stuff that he learned during the primaries and stuff he learned - their strategery (a Dubya term) - as he became the nominee.
He's had conversations and been in meetings with all the Intelligensia up and down the Repug Party. His fellow primary contenders. The Chairman of the RNC. Speaker of the House. Majority Leader of the Senate. Senators and Congressmen throughout the Party. Repug Governors. Retired Emeritus Repugs. Repug Think Tanks. Right Wing talking heads up and down the media.
Just think of all the inside information he was able to glean from them. All their dirty little secrets and strategies they use against Obama, Hillary and the Dems.
Think about how he can use that against them and blackmail them now.
Isn't it just beautiful how much Trump has them over the barrel?

(25,263 posts)and any explanation he gives them. We've seen that display all through this election process. Whatever inside info he has - if he uses it - will inflict more damage unto the Repug Party. Even if he didn't have inside info and said he did and started making crap up - they would believe him and he would do further damage to the Party.
Perhaps that is why there is so much indecision as to endorse or withdraw endorsement. Support or not support him.
He has the potential to wipe out all their jobs going forward. They embraced him. They took him into their confidence and we all know that it isn't beneath Trump to use what he learned against them.
We still have around 28 - 29 days left. The fireworks just began - and I can't wait for the finale.
