New White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci is already making his presence felt, telling Politico's Tara Palmeri today that he'll fire Michael Short, a loyalist to Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. And don't be confused by last week's public bromance: Scaramucci and Reince aren't friends. It's totally phony.
Why it matters: Reince has a very small number of loyalists left in the White House, with most of them in the press shop. Scaramucci has been given carte-blanche firing authority by Trump.
What to watch: What happens if Scaramucci fires another Reince loyalist in the press shop? And then another one? Then Reince is exposed and in a situation where his clout is tested with Trump.
How not to read this: Mooch keeps saying "everybody" will get fired, but he has a very friendly relationship with the Trump originals, the campaign veterans who aren't tied to the RNC. In particular, that means Hope Hicks and Dan Scavino.
link?
I always thought There was reason to question where Rinces true loyalty lay? As head of the RNC it made me nervous that he went into the inner circle of Trump’s campaign, almost like a Trojan horse....

I’m sorry I missed it in my post. Thanks for letting me know!
The Grand Old Party is soon to be history. Good riddance! It is rotten to the core.
Watch the first meeting with the press where Scaramucci makes it clear about his relationship with Reince, and it is a good one
Then comeback and start your pearl clutching
Its politico selling same lies under a new phonier name .
fake news .
Same with the Dems. Good riddance!
They are both on the same side- gun grabbing RINOs.
I just think that if we could get all three on board, it would be incredible. Scaramucci, Prebus and Trump....holy cow. Did you see where Prebus convinced the President to build Nexcom at the old Chrysler building in Wisconsin. Now that will bring a ton of jobs to already only 3.1 unemployment. Prebus has been the best person for Republican Party ever. In fact, nobody has given the country over 1,000 seats.....EVER.
Reince Priebus is part of GOPe.
Get his ass out.
Exactly
Politico renamed itself Axios?
Good catch. It explains a lot...
I was happy to see Reince become a staunch supporter during the campaign. Once Trump became the de facto candidate, He never spoke ill of him and called on others to support their candidate.
