According to TIME, last week Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus informed Donald Trump that if he continues to trail Hillary Clinton badly, the party apparatus will spend its energy on down-ballot races rather than focus on the presidential race.
Two GOP officials briefed on the phone call between Trump and Priebus asserted that Priebus pointed to internal party polls revealing Trump’s candidacy in serious trouble. Priebus reportedly said bluntly that because of Trump’s numerous public relations gaffes since the GOP convention, he would have done himself a favor if he had stayed at his Mar-a-Lago Club. The officials reported that Priebus reminded Trump that his title is RNC chairman, not chairman of the Trump campaign.
