Sean Spicer, the RNC’s chief strategist, denied on Twitter that Preibus threatened to reallocated resources from the presidential campaign to down-ballot races like House and Senate contests, as Time reported. Uh, he is the chairman of the Trump campaign, sort of.
And, it isn’t just CT that has Republicans scratching their heads. The campaign has not released details, but Trump typically also holds public campaign stops while in battleground states. “He just put out a tweet saying it’s untrue”.

But the general election is quite different. Withhold support and they risk alienating GOP voters who may blame establishment turncoats if Trump loses.
An adamant Trump critic and former press aide of Rep. Newt Gingrich- Andrew Weinstein-helped organize the letter.
Trump said he’d be able to determine the day after Election Day whether the Republican Party was sufficiently helpful.
