But a non-unified Republican Party is a Republican Party that endures four more years of a Democratic White House. "I think I'm going to go out and I'm going to get millions of people from the Democrats," Trump said. Trump needs them to be.

If he can't convince Democrats, and if Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents maintain their party loyalty, he needs every Republican vote he can get.
