GOP leaders seek unity, urge patience as Trump takes to learning curve

WASHINGTON – Top Republicans suggested on Sunday that Donald Trump needs more public policy schooling, particularly on foreign affairs, to earn the confidence of a fractured party and show he's ready to take on likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. "I think he's going to need to learn. He's going to need to understand really completely … how complex this world is," said Trump's top Senate ally and top foreign policy adviser, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala. To Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., Trump "is a work in progress," more so than most candidates. "Usually you know a lot more about a candidate because they've run for other things. And he does have a shoot-from-the-hip style."
