The US House needs a new Speaker.

...“I think it would be better if it were unified. (click here) I think it would be. There would be something good about it,” Mr. Trump said in the interview set to air on Sunday. “But I don’t think it actually has to be unified in the traditional sense.”...

Donald Trump is correct, the president nominee can go it alone on the Republican ticket. I think to clarify the party's loyalist Mr. Trump can offer to conduct fund raising with the state or federal congressional nominees. If they decline he should realize there are differences in the current Republican culture. I think Sarah Palin is correct in that even places like Wisconsin have an alternative in the primary that willingly represents the culture affiliated with Donald  Trump. Donald Trump could conduct fund raising with those members of the party, too.

Donald Trump lead the party's nomination through most of the primary contests. He won this thing by himself without any help from a Superpac or big money donors. That is admirable and the people recognized that. They are allowed to decide about their choice for nomination. They decided. The party needs to accept that.

Mr. Trump and the Tea Party Republicans needs to realize, there will be establishment Republicans that if elected again in November may not vote for their agenda in Congress. Evidently, Paul Ryan is representative of a different culture that could provide for more opposition in the Congress, including the Senate. 

The Republicans should have realized this outcome was destined at some point in time. I am surprised this hasn't happened before now, but, in reality the Tea Party Republicans were locked out of funding and Donald Trump didn't need any. I guess it was going to be him or the Tea Party would still be spinning their wheels.

This is a real chance for the Tea Party to solidify their base and the funding it provides. It is now or never. Now, is the time to build their funding base.
