    Donald Trump has been meeting behind closed doors with Republican leaders — so far without saying a word in public. Today, he met with House Speaker Paul Ryan and Reince Priebus. Asked if Ryan's ready to make an endorsement, the Republican National Committee Chairman told CNN, "You know, like I said, it was a great first step toward unifying the party. I you read both of the statements that came out of Speaker's office and Donald Trump's campaign, they echo the same feeling." McKay Coppins is author of, The Wilderness: Deep Inside the Republican Party's Combative, Contentious, Chaotic Quest to Take Back the White House. He's senior political writer for BuzzFeed News.
