Republican National Committee leaders think the party will eventually get behind Donald Trump, though they don't support changing convention rules.

  • RNC Spring Meeting going on in Hollywood, Fla. this week
  • Committee leaders discussed making convention rules changes
  • Many said they think GOP will rally behind Donald Trump

That's what some said Thursday during the second day of the RNC's Spring Meeting in South Florida.

With the GOP presidential front-runner's rhetoric about the rules being unfair, there was a lot of scrutiny on just that at the Standing Committee on Rules meeting.

But RNC members were adamant: Now is not the time to make sweeping changes to the rules.

“We’ve been talking a lot about whether anything is going to change today. And I think it was really good that nothing did change,” said Brandon Bell, chairman of the Republican Party of Rhode Island.

Said Peter Goldberg, chairman of the Alaska Republican Party: "It's probably best not to make any changes here."

RNC members such as Bell say a nominee is typically picked by this time in the cycle.

Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Rick Scott stuck to his talking points.

“We love everybody coming to our state,” he said.

Scott didn't use the mic to try to sway leaders to get behind Trump, his favored candidate.

“Donald Trump is either going to get to 1,237 (delegates) or be very close. I’m focused on winning in November. The way to win in November is rally behind Donald Trump,” Scott said.

But will they? Many RNC members said they think the party will.

“I think this party will coalesce around him, and I don’t just mean the people here at the RNC," Bell said.

“Definitely, because no Republican wants Grandma Hillary, or Grandpa Bernie, to run up more debt,” said Jan Halper-Hayes, vice president of Republicans Overseas.

Not every event at this week’s meeting was open to media members. Several committees met to conduct business, and Ted Cruz, John Kasich and supporters of Donald Trump, including Dr. Ben Carson, met privately with RNC members.
