Speaking to reporters earlier this week, Paul Manafort, a senior Trump aide, brushed off the idea that the candidate’s rhetoric was making it more hard to build bridges with party leaders.
The Republican National Committee is holding its spring quarterly meeting, bringing 168 members of the RNC – the party chairman, the national committeeman and national committeewoman from each state and territory – to Hollywood, an overwhelmingly Democratic city in Florida’s most Democratic county.
Asked whether diplomats had been told to establish contacts with Mr Trump, the Prime Minister’s official spokeswoman said that this was “part and parcel of what we do”.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump weighed in on North Carolina’s House Bill 2 Thursday morning, saying the state should have left it “the way it was”.
Asked about Caitlyn Jenner, an Olympic gold medal victor then-known as Bruce Jenner, walking into Trump Tower using the bathroom, he said would be fine with her using any bathroom she chooses. He stressed that the candidate had had some “very good” conversations with Priebus and said the campaign hoped to work closely with state party leaders to build its general election campaign.

“Frankly, Marco, I’d love to have involved”, Trump said. But they were almost unanimous in the belief that, even if Trump does not earn 1,237 delegates, he should still be the nominee if he earns the most votes.
