Reince and Paul Ryan to Summit With Romney

Reince and Paul Ryan to Summit With Romney

http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/06/08/reince-and-paul-ryan-to-summit-with-romney.html

"SNIP............


RNC chairman Reince Priebus and House Speaker Paul Ryan are among the attendees for Mitt Romney's annual Utah retreat starting tomorrow, bringing together the #NeverTrump movement with GOP leaders who've said they will vote for the presumptive nominee. While not specifically billed as an anti-Trump event, Romney's "Experts and Enthusiasts" event will feature speeches from people like Romney and Nebraska Sen. Ben Sassse, who've refused to back The Donald. Anti-Trump donors like CEO Meg Whitman and hedge-fund manager Paul Singer will also be in attendance, leading insiders to wonder whether the event will be used to evangelize against the controversial nominee.

the RNC will happily shed Trump supporters, half of which would vote for a sane repub candidate. Romney , Jeb and Rubio are known entities repugs would get behind.

It is a possibility they will dump trump- and good riddance

"Yeah, we know you all selected Trump out of that large field and deep bench, but you chose . . . poorly. We party leaders, including the losers from the last election, are going to fix your mistake."

Put your money into whatever company supplies tear gas for the Cleveland Police.

that they've effectively lost the White House and down ticket elections for the near future. It would be a signal that they can read the demographics on the wall and they're going to attempt a massive realignment. It would be a hell of an interesting show to watch.

Its either lose this election in a landslide with trump and be damaged for possibly decades or lose this election in a landslide with someone else and hopefully repair the damage in a few cycles.

I bet other cities in Ohio are sending an ~extra~officer or 2. John Kasich had/has a not well known committee on Community Police relations created after the police shootings in Cleveland & near Dayton of young AA men.
