I won’t say Priebus is a fool, but I will say I vehemently disagree with him. However, it’s clear that Priebus’s view is quite common in Republican leadership circles. They are woefully out of step with their constituents if you ask me. Will the base hold leadership responsible? I hope so. I hope and pray a whole lot of Republican and Democrat incumbents are shown the door. There’s no other peaceful solution, as it’s clear both Republicans and Democrats are intent on cramming amnesty down our throats whether we like it or not. We don’t even have to get all of them. We just need to retire enough of them that the rest of them learn to put OUR, aka We the People’s, interests FIRST.
The best thing that can be said about Priebus is that he is ignorant. He doesn’t know what he is talking about. The border is a sieve. It is common knowledge among the shoe shiners in Tijuana that a person can be smuggled across the border in the trunk of a car for $5,000, payable upon delivery to destination in the USA.
The thing that Priebus and the rest of the beltway GOP stooges don’t get when they dump on the GOP base is that they are currently LOSING. There is just less and less incentive for conservatives to follow these guys into electoral battle when they keep losing.
They might be able to get away with this amnesty crap if they were winning elections but they are not. Adopting Dem agenda and refusing to engage them is not a winning strategy for the GOP. The GOP leadership have not earned and do not deserve the benefit of the doubt on anything at this point.
Priebus can run his mouth all he wants but at this point only results matter.
