I said I think they will be more unified than the talking heads are saying.

I don't necessarily see that as Trump "whipping Republicans on line". I think it is more likely that people like Muek, Bannon, Theil, Leo, Vance and other neo-Nazis will set a direction and whip the rest of the Republicans under the argument "This is the moment we've been fighting to see for over 50 years. Don't be the one who F***s it up now that have all the levers of power." When Trump sees the parade forming, he'll race t the front.
