Donald J. Trump insisted on Thursday that his phone call with Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, was brief and described it as “congratulatory” instead of condemnatory, in contrast to news accounts of the talk.
“This is shocking,” Mr. Trump, the real estate mogul who is now running for president as a Republican, of descriptions of his conversation with Mr. Priebus on Wednesday that portrayed it as lasting nearly an hour.
“The call lasted for 10 minutes – maximum, maximum 15 minutes,” Mr. Trump said.
Mr. Priebus, he said, “knows better than to lecture me.” He added, “We’re not dealing with a five-star Army general.”

Mr. Priebus “said wow, you’re really doing well in the polls, you really hit a nerve,” Mr. Trump described the chairman as saying. Mr. Priebus added, according to Mr. Trump, “It could be that you’ll be number one in the polls.”

It’s a long way to the election and Priebus has plenty of time to torpedo the Donald.
LOL- let Priebus try to deny it.
Why would Trump even take calls from this loser dweeb? It’s not as if he had been very successful. Usually a losing coach is fired.
Or is Priebus showing the white flag to Mr. Trump?
Rudy was leading in all the national polls by double digits. He didn’t win even a single state.
Poor reince. I’m guessing he’s having a very strange day. Not what he’s used to. ‘GOP-used to be’.
IMHO Priebus said nothing of the sort and The Donald is just toying with him.
99.9% of Americans have no idea who Reince Priebus is.
The Donald is clearing the way for Ted Cruz. I have no intention of voting for the Donald, but I am cheering him on at the moment.
Priebus is a pimp. He’s playing the game of politics as have all Repugnants post Reagan.
Yesterday’s report that the call lasted 45 minutes and consisted of Priebus lecturing Trump, was not credible from the start.
Are he and Priebus talking about the same phone call?
The Donald is essentially saying: “When I get to DC, I’m going to pop open the hood and take a look around to find the reasons things are not running right”.
Reince and repeat...
Priebus isn’t qualified to polish Trump’s gold-plated toilet
This is great! Press tries to stir up crap, and Trump is the one tamping it down. So, is Priebus going to lambaste the press? or crawl into the corner and hide?
YOu are right about the actual knowledge most people have about what is being said and about who! Trump is saying what everybody is thinking, and finally calls the illegals out. Would a lot of us vote for him if he keeps on the top?? You bet...
It was a Bush donor who leaked the news about the call to the Washington Compost.
Trump is a LIAR. They just said on FOX News that Preibus was returning a call from Trump.
Reince called, the Donald’s secretary put him on hold for 35 minutes, then they chatted for about 10...
