Republicans who abandon the party by refusing to back presidential nominee Donald Trump might face opposition if they try to run in the future, the Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus told CBS’ “Face the Nation" on Sunday.
"People who agreed to support the nominee, that took part in our process, they used tools from the RNC, they agreed to support the nominee," Priebus told host John Dickerson. "We are a private party, not a public entity. Those people need to get on board.
"And if they’re thinking they’re going to run again someday, I think we’re going to evaluate the process of the nomination process, and I don’t think it’s going to be that easy for them."
CBS’ Dickerson made the connection to someone like Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who ran against Trump in the Republican primary, and told NBC’s "Meet the Press" on Sunday chances are "miniscule" he will vote for Trump.
"These are things our party is going to look at in the process," Priebus told CBS.
"People who gave us their word, used information from the RNC, should be on board.
"People in our party are talking about what we are going to do about this. What the penalty for that? It’s not a threat.
"We have a process in place … an agreement with the participants in that process. And those participants don’t follow through with the promises they made in that process. What should a private party do about that if those same people come around in four to eight years?"

Ban them from running for public office under a Republican banner.
I think some of trumps mojo has rubbed off on this guy .
Yeah it’s weird, it’s almost like Reince grew a pair of testicles or something.
He may also be seeing some internal poll numbers showing Trump taking over this race, and Priebus wants to coattail as many Senate and House candidates as possible.
These stupid brain-dead a*****e losers don't need to do a thing!
The penalty is evident and obvious...
YOUR CHOSEN GOLDEN ONE LOSES THE PRIMARIES, IMBECILES!
Trump had a come-to-the-mountain meeting with Reince a few weeks ago. Trump also, (now) is leading Clinton and gaining votes.
the never-trumpets are blowing each other’s smoke.
Just cut off the funding. But NOW not after the election (which would be typical of this crowd). And as for Lindsey, cut his funds off till after HIS next election.
How about not giving them A PENNY?????????
This should have been said and done months ago, not just talking of it less then 2 months from the election.
Looks forced if any of the fools change tune and now endorse and you know they will only be doing it to keep whatever help they want in future from RNC.
...AND that AIN'T GONNA WORK EITHER, LOSERS!
We're gonna pick all new faces in the primaries, with rare exceptions.
Good luck with your resumes.
What about letting Hillary Clinton give them a lap dance in the VIP room?
Maybe he grew comfortable doing the bidding of the elites who used to keep his bread buttered. But what normal person wouldn`t prefer to do the right thing and get on the right side of history, if given a choice? Leaders like Trump have a way of bringing out the best in people.
The Cheap Labor Express Republicans have identified themselves.
It’s the voters job to make sure they never hold office again.
Kasich first, please.
The RNC forced Trump to sign a pledge that he would support the GOP nominee along with the other contenders, as they feared Trump would try a 3d party run, as I recollect.
I wasn’t supporting Trump at the time, but I expect a man’s word should be honored.
Kasich is a liar, just like Hillary. Same goes for you also, Cruz, and I supported you.
They, especially Kasick, need to be excommunicated from the party. Kasick is an embarrassment to Ohio. He really needs to deal with his jealousy.
How about a penalty for appearing in a Hillary Clinton campaign ad.
Cruz and Kasich can form the loser party.
