Outreach, unity discussed on as Georgia Republican Convention opens | The Augusta Chronicle

“This convention really is the start of what we’re going to do this fall,” said party Chair­man John Padgett, calling the primaries just the preliminaries.

He said unity behind Trump is critical to keeping Hil­lary Clinton out of the White House.

“We can’t just think because it’s a red state that we don’t have to do anything. Folks, it’s going to be a tough election in Georgia,” he said….

Many agree with Padgett that swallowing differences is worthwhile to keep Demo­crats out of power.

“The large-dollar-donor community has gotten behind Trump,” said Stefan Passantino, an Atlanta lawyer who organized super PACs for Cruz and Perry. “It’s not emotional for them.”
