Now that he has vanquished all his rivals, Trump faces the most daunting task of his White House run: rallying a deeply fractured Republican Party behind his candidacy. No matter what he does, a unified Republican Party before or after July’s convention in Cleveland isn’t going to happen. It is hard to imagine a scenario that a plurality of Republicans who think poorly of him will get behind him. It would require personal sacrifice, and a lot of right-wingers will not sacrifice for him. You have to have admiration for your candidate.
