Reince Priebus, the then-RNC Chair, was never a fan of Donald Trump’s insurgency presidential campaign. Priebus was allied with party Establishment figures like Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and John Kasich. And yet, despite that anti-Trump history, Donald Trump made Priebus his White House Chief of Staff so that Priebus could utilize his extensive party contacts and influence to move the Trump agenda forward.
That hasn’t happened and as a result Mr. Priebus is now poised to find himself standing outside the Trump White House looking in.
“He won’t last the summer.”
So goes the repeated mantra of several figures familiar with the Trump White House. It is a belief that was the foundation of today’s report by THE HILL regarding the same subject:
“…The Post reports that Trump is dissatisfied with the chaos in the White House and wants someone with more governing experience to take over the top job. Sources told the Post that Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney and Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) have both been floated for the job.
One source told the Post that Priebus is “the most imperiled person here.”
The report claims that Priebus’s job security could rest on the passage of healthcare and tax reform. According to the Post, Priebus is heavily involved in the White House efforts to repeal ObamaCare and pass tax reform and could exit the White House early to save face if he feels he’s accomplished his goals.”
Trump’s reported dissatisfaction with Priebus comes in two parts. The first is the internal chaos within the Trump White House – namely leaks and alleged constant infighting. The second is how successful Congress has been in obstructing the Trump agenda – including by the very Republicans Priebus was supposed to gain the support of.
Rumors are also circulating that Mr. Priebus wants out but not before he succeeds in helping to get Congress to pass healthcare reform which in turn will lay the groundwork for sweeping tax reform to soon follow. If he can accomplish that his legacy will remain intact and he can exit the Trump White House with his head held high.
The question is if Donald Trump is willing to allow Priebus that long.
Whispers indicate that might not be the case.
Ridiculous.
Nope, he never was, he was a teddy boy.
Rumor = Fake News
Don’t lump my Scott Walker in there with those other POSs!
Luv My Gov!
Yes, it was NOT his time to be President and I feel he jumped the gun, BUT, he’s going to run for another term here in ‘Sconny and he’s going to WIN...AGAIN! The ‘Rats in Our Fair State have BUPKISS!
Governor Scott Walker is getting things done and improving our state. Know how I can tell? The Socialists are not out beating their chests and rending their flesh on a weekly basis, anymore. They’re cashing their BIGGER PAYCHECKS and going about their everyday business like the REST of us. ;)
If/when he goes, then tell me about it. I am tired of anonymous leaks.
On election night Trump called him a rockstar and gushed over him.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Hey! I haven’t read an anonymous rumor in... what’s it been, two hours?
In fact, once Trump got the nomination, Priebus was completely on-board, and even appeared at an occasional rally. If President Trump didn’t trust him, he wouldn’t be in the position he’s in today. Good enough for me. Articles like this come off as GOP-e propaganda, designed to undercut the President’s administration.
From what I have read Reince did a great job with turning out of the vote for Trump. In 2012 GOTV was a disaster, but in 2016 it was a huge success and Trump praised Reince a lot for it.
“out of” = out
THIS LIE STARTED IN EARLY FEBRUARY

http://nypost.com/2017/06/12/priebus-ive-got-one-foot-on-a-banana-peel-and-another-out-the-door/
EVENTUALLY PRIEBUS WILL LEAVE. COULD BE SOON. COULD BE IN 8 YEARS. JUST DON’T BELIEVE THE LYING LIARS ‘INSIDE INFORMATION.’
Other lies:
Russia, Climate Change, Benghazi, Hillary’s Server, IRS, Fast and Furious, You can keep you plan, I did not have sexual relations with that woman Monica Lewinsky.
Yup. Watch for Sean Anthony to post it from his Canadian blog employers site tomorrow.
Liars lie.
At this point there is no reason to fire anyone unless he has someone to replace him.
Priebus also did a good job of keeping everything coming from the national party fair and above board during the primaries. He made sure then candidate Trump was given his chance despite heavy pressure from the party bigwigs. He definitely earned his spot in President Trump’s administration. On the other hand, if he’s not getting the job done now I’m sure Trump knows how to handle that problem.
Glad to hear your point of view. Glad Wlaker is not a scott brown rino.
He’s from Wisconsin and is A VERY OLD FRIEND of Paul Ryan.
Yup.
Ryan not a big fan of Trump either.
LOSERS!
Priebus was head of the RNC. That right there is 98% chance of failure.
