   Whose job is it to unite the Republican Party?  The nominee's or those who pledged to support him?
   
   If recollection can take you back to September 2015, all the Republican contenders for the presidency pledged to support the one of them who eventually wins their party's nomination.
   
   In a recent March 2016 debate featuring the three remaining contenders, Mr. Trump said he would not stick to his pledge because the Republican Party, in whole or part, was not treating him as fairly as it should. When Senator Cruz and Governor Kasich, the other remaining contenders, were asked how they stood on their written pledges to support the eventual nominee, they hedged (as politicians so often do.)

   What is wrong with a compromise between the party and the candidate? That is something that these children in the Republican Party do not know how to do.

      In hindsight, it looks as if the Republicans rallied to the party candidates by themselves.

      The democrat party is in need of unification. But both parties need to put the people first, and both are ideologically diametrically opposite. A country calling it self the Unites States is in reality acting like the disunited federal gov. They have

   It's the job of the eventual president in this case Mr Trump. May i recommend House Of Cards, its actually striking accurate in the scenarios of real life politics and i think you would find it interesting if you don't already watch it, as you seem like a very switched on and interested guy.

      The House of Cards is one that should be avoided as it mirrors the existing paradigm. It is not president Trump's duty to the party but to all the people. That is the West Wing and House of Card system party before country and people. Trump is trying
