Reince Priebus: GOP Will Return to 'Traditional Platform' After Trump

It is oft debated the transformative effect President Donald J. Trump has had on the platform and principles of the Grand Ol’ Party, but according to former RNC chairman and former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, President Trump has not changed the GOP much at all. In fact, he apparently told a group of Georgetown University students that it will “basically return” to its platform prior to Trump once he leaves office.

According to the Georgetown student paper, The Hoya, Priebus claimed that there is not all that much different in the Republican Party itself, but that Trump is his own unique brand. However, for the present time, Trump has refocused the party on a populist message.

    From The Hoya:

    Priebus acknowledged Trump is, in some ways, not like any other Republican president. Trump is “extremely unique” in his personal style, Priebus said, and his campaign themes refocused the Republican Party on a populist message.

    “President Trump’s been very good for the party in the sense that it’s returned to the idea that the American workers are worth fighting for. That we’re not about Wall Street — we’re about people that are making tools and working with their hands and have been forgotten,” Priebus said.

Oh goodie.  So they are going to return full-bore to doing jack shit and handing the Democrats their agenda while telling their base to shut up, sit down or get punched in the nose.

Like they did in the Obama years before Trump joined their party to run as prez.

Reince and repeat? That's not what people want.

Then the GOP will go the way of the Whigs.

To the point that it's a mental illness.

...hmm... sounds a little like sour grapes.  What is the EX-chief of staff doing these days anyways?  Who in the heck actually cares what he says?
