How did the Dump/RNC "Reset 8.1.2" meeting in Orlando go? Anyone know?

Supposedly last Friday night, but I haven't seen a single report, and today the implosion has picked up the pace. Is there any news, or have they all kept their traps shut for once?

Is the Foreign Policy speech supposed to be the outcome?

Ivanka should be holding her Dad's Android phone instead of going on a vacation with Wendy Deng.

I am a daily subscriber. They're getting under his skin with accurate reporting.

He has to know they'll be "unfair" to him - they've always seen through his bluster. the WSJ is bending over backwards to be "more than fair", however.
