BREAKING: Reince Priebus tapped To Be Trump's Chief of Staff
« on: November 13, 2016, 09:21:40 pm »
Breaking now on the FNC website.

ETA:

President-elect Donald Trump will appoint Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus as his chief of staff, two sources with knowledge of the decision told Fox News Sunday.

Priebus was one of Trump’s most loyal lieutenants during the real estate mogul's up-and-down campaign that resulted in many Republicans, particularly lawmakers seeking reelection, to distance themselves from Trump.

Trump praised Preibus’ efforts in his victory speech after his upset win over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

Priebus was thought to be one of two finalists for the chief of staff post, along with Trump campaign CEOfficer Steve Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News.

Bannon is expected to be named senior counselor to the president, the sources told Fox News.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

It's going to be interesting to see how this is spun.

Does that mean he's out as head of the RNC? Or will he be like Debbie and serve in both capacities?

Exactly.  I don't hold much hope from this point forward.   :chairbang:
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Because nothing says "political outsider" "Drain the swamp" and "unbeholden" more than hiring the head of the RNC to lead your troops.

Want to bet he holds on to the chairmanship? It makes sense from a business perspective - keep tight control. Doesn't mean we have to like it, but it is logical given Trump's background in business.

It makes total sense 'from a business perspective'. It is however the opposite of his promises.

So maybe this is a good sign that Trump is draining the swamp of the establishment, right?

Oh wait, never mind...

Exactly what a lot of neverTrumper's said would happen.

Let's see what happens in the first 6 months after he's sworn in. I'm hoping the Pubs finally recognize that people are fed up with the "old boys network" and it's time to implement the things Trump talked about. If they don't the 2018 elections will be ugly. The swing voters who elected Trump won't have any loyalty to the Pubs.

Look on the bright side. The true believers are calling this a stroke of brilliance and posting Trump as Washington pics on TOS. Yea, the same true believers that have called RP the problem with the GOP for a few years now.

So everything is fine.

You've got the guy who ensured the floor revolt against Trump was quashed...strengthened the Chairman's position in the process and has been one of the biggest GOPe roadblocks to a Conservative nominee being rewarded for his loyalty.

This doesn't bode well for anyone who doesn't support the establishment.
