Loyalty - he helped Trump win this. Congrats!
The Trump campaign famously had no ground game — but Priebus and the RNC had a great one. It not only helped Trump win, but helped retain control of the Senate and House (with only very slightly diminished margins), raised the total of GOP governors to 34, won control of 3 more state legislative chambers (now 69 of 99). You get something for that.
I totally agree with you, Blue Turtle.
Priebus’ elaborate nuts and bolts GOTV ground game engineered Trump’s victory.
Reince can act as a liaison with congress to shepherd Trump’s legislative agenda.
I admire and laud Priebus’s loyalty, as you emphasized.
He has proven his character and strikes me as a genuinely honorable man.
His appointment as Chief of Staff would be another brilliant move a la picking Mike Pence as his running mate.
Trump did in fact spotlight Priebus during his victory speech Wednesday morning and even beckoned him to say a few words. He called Priebus a “rock star.”
