"Does it have to be
unified?" he asked. "I'm very different than everybody else, perhaps
that's ever run for office. I actually don't think so."
He
went on: "I think it would be better if it were unified. I think ...
there would be something good about it. But I don't think it actually
has to be unified in the traditional sense."
Those
comments underscore the growing debate over whether Trump's unorthodox
candidacy will doom the GOP in the fall or whether the anxious party
leadership has grown so out of touch with the electorate that it's
missing the genuine anger fueling Trump's rise.
end partial quote from:
From Trump's point of view he cares about what happens to the country and not about what happens to the Republican Party. To his supporters they likely feel the same way because most of his voters just joined the Republican party to vote for him because both parties turned them off until now. I think there was a T-shirt on a man going into one of Trump's convention meetings that said, "Finally, a Candidate with Balls!" which is the sentiment of many Trump voters tired of being lied to for the last 20 years or more by the Republican Party. So, most Trump voters are thinking more like independents without any real loyalty to any party with only a loyalty to our country which is in some ways very admirable.
However, this also likely means the death or restructuring of the Republican party over the next 5 years too.
