Could Reince Be On His Way Out As Chief Of Staff?

Posted By Alex Pfeiffer On 6:05 PM 02/12/2017

The opening weeks of the Trump administration have been described as tumultuous by many, potentially leaving White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus’ head on the chopping block.

Chris Ruddy, founder of Newsmax Media and one of President Trump’s friends, said Sunday on CNN that the “White House is showing not the amount of order that we need to see. I think there’s a lot of weakness coming out of the chief of staff.”

Never should have been chosen to begin with. The guy is a liberal masquerading as a RINO.  Then again, that might explain it.

There are a lot of those, here. Can you name them?

Agreed.  Rinse handled the RNC and the convention poorly.  Trump owed him big league.

But Trumpers were just fine with Trump picking Mr Establishment for chief of staff.

What?  Seriously?  That's just flat out stupid.

I wouldn't say they were fine with it.  Did they have a choice.  That's the misconception about Trump supporters; they don't agree with everything he does but they just didn't want Hillary.

Trump the former Democrat or Trump the RINO? Is there a difference?

If they didn't speak, they condoned it.

Trump can do no wrong in the eyes of the worshipful toadies.

[Norm Lenhart]

Rinse was a mistake from the beginning. Hopefully they rid themselves of him and in so doing, erode the liberal wing of the GOP and the power of Mitch and Ryan over the go along-get along 'conservatives' in congress.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Priebus leave.  He was there because of his inside knowledge of how DC politics works.  A nice thought, but for now the Trump administration doesn't seem interested in working within the system.

Also, it's pretty hard for a chief of staff to keep order when the president can't/won't stop tweeting.  Trump sets the tone, and right now the tone leans toward rambling stream-of-consciousness insults for the likes of Mark Cuban or Nordstrom's.

One would hope that Priebus is replaced by a guy who can instill a bit of discipline and forethought into what comes out of the WH.  My fear is that, instead, Priebus will be replaced by a guy who will "let Trump be Trump."

There's not a man. woman or group thereof that will make trump do anything. He's not going to change a lifetime management style. It's who he is. Thats what people elected him for, for better or worse. Hoping for change, as we learned rather recently (or should have, isn't a winning strategy.

In 4 years America can judge his accomplishments, or lack thereof and either send him back to DC or home. Until then, short of being impeached and removed legitimately, he's going to do whatever he wants to and there's nothing we can do but stand back and see what happens.

[Frandia]

I would say that you summed that up well.

This administration does seem rather hell-bent on proving that the outsiders can screw as many pooches as the insiders
did, only faster, doesn't it?

(It wasn't easy getting Sylvester's lisp!)

That's not tone, that's cacophony.

As John Lennon once said about the death of Elvis Presley, it's the courtiers who kill the king.

Can we compromise on "12-tone?"

I don't have much hope that anything good will come out of this administration but I take great joy in the hope that Priebus is out. He's the face of the treasonous establishment who only fell in love with Trump when it became apparent that only Trump could keep an actual constitutional conservative out of the white house.

Poetic justice that the establishment who believed they could wheel and deal to keep their grip on power would now be betrayed by te man they made their deal with.

Frankly I plan on grabbing some popcorn because the establishment won't take it sitting down.

The mindset of the GOP has to be a case study in idiocy waiting for a Grad student to make his doctorate on.

How screwed up do people (the GOP/Rinse have to be to think that taking a job from the guy that you spent the primaries fighting tooth and nail, is the path to ongoing employment? The only thing that makes any sense is that they collectively felt that they could control Trump once he got the job.

And THAT raises the obvious question of how stupid one has to be to think they were going to control him? Love him/hate him/or tolerate him, Trump can be relied on to do what Trump wants to do. The sheer 'wrong' of these people's thinking is really scary. The only thing scarier is that the people that keep electing them 'no matter what' is even more F'd up than theirs is.

If it's a student taking his doctorate in psychiatry, he'll need a psychiatrist after finishing the project!

That's like George Armstrong Custer telling his troops, No, over there, those are friendly Indians!---about Sitting Bull
and company.

Once again, Mr. Mencken was proven right: democracy is the common people knowing what they want and deserving to

Pain teaches or kills. People will either learn eventually or libs will regain full power and carry out their goals. History is pretty clear on that.

[EasyAce]

Not soon enough. If it had been soon enough, we wouldn't have had no better choice than between Robespierre and Queen Athaliah
in last year's presidential election.

They hit their tolerance eventually. By then they will be fully out as liberals and we can stop pretending they arent what they are.
