President-elect Donald Trump should not select Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus as his Chief of Staff, says Michael Savage, the national talk radio host and author of the new book Scorched Earth: Restoring the Country After Obama.
Priebus is “the enemy within,” Savage warns.
“He’s the RNC! Everything the voters rejected,” Savage tells Breitbart News. “He will steer Trump away from every policy we sent him to D.C. to change. He is the enemy within. He is [Paul] Ryan, [Mitch] McConnell, and the Old Guard. They do not want change. ‘Out with the old, in with the new.'”
A close Ryan ally, Priebus was responsible for the GOP “autopsy” following the Romney-Ryan loss of 2012. One of its conclusions held that, to win elections, Republicans must embrace an immigration agenda that would import future voters who tend to overwhelmingly support Democrat policies. The Priebus manifesto argued against opposing amnesty and appealing to the Republican electorate’s “core constituency.”
“We must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform. If we do not, our Party’s appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only,” the Priebus report stated.
By contrast, for years Savage has argued that Republican candidates should run campaigns on “borders, language, and culture.”
“I call him ‘Rinse,'” Savage said of Priebus, adding that’s “what Trump should do with his advice.”
Savage’s talk radio show, which is one of the most listened-to talk radio programs in the country, reaches an audience over 20 million listeners and is syndicated by over some 400 stations nationwide. This week, Savage will be inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in the category of Spoken Word On-Air Personality.

My initial reaction is revulsion. But then I remember criticizing FReepers who doubted Trump before, when I KNEW he was right. So now I will hold my doubt in abeyance, because Trump is pretty smart.
Typo. Should read “He ignored the PTB in the RNC when they told him to block Trump.”
Priebus will be VERY BUSY arranging meetings and managing staff.
Trump was like Preibus’s 4th choice, or put it another way Trump already won and Preibus had no choice.
Preibus was first for his buddy Gov. Walker who bombed out.
Then Bush was supposedly the GOPe heir and he lacked energy and bombed out.
the Cruz was not Trump and had more traction and so in Wisconsin they engineered a win for Ted at Trump’s expense.
That is just fact, the big town’s Walker and Ryan control so well voted against Donald.
Given this history, I am with Savage he cannot be trusted
Agreed. Trump is a raging bull. I trust Trump, he did not do everything he has done to do nothing once elected.
Trump has been saying the same things since the 1980s. He knows what he intends to do and deserves the servants he thinks will help get them done.
We have the greatest control we will likely ever have over the federal government. We need to get our agenda actually passed into law and implemented. We need to co-opt some people from the establishment that know how to get things.
He can always fire Reince if he proves a fink. Trump is real good at firing people...
Savage isn’t far off the mark.... but there’s a difference.... Trump is going to push his agenda.... Reince’s job is thread the needle.... I think people will be surprised that when people feel empowered to create change, they will....when their leadership says maintain status quo, that’s what the do... its called follow the leader.
His father is of German descent, his mother is greek. His first name is Rheinhold. Reince is a nickname.

A deal must have been struck between Reince and Trump during the primary. Trump probably offered him a position if Reince didn’t allow for any contested convention etc.
Unlike almost everyone in the process, Reine played it straight, supporting the nominee without undercutting him, like Ryan, Romney, or Graham.
I agree... I've hired people who were a disaster somewhere else and they were great. We've seen lots of athletes who just needed the right coach. Priebus might work out great under Trump and if not, there is always "You're fired".
Priebus will either perform to Trump's satisfaction, or he will be quickly replaced, without apology.
Wrong.
Reince played it straight during the primary.
Ditto. Trust in Trump
“Savage is a good commentator, but he’s not correct on this one. “
I agree. Priebus is loyal .. he proved that in the election. If this calms the nervous GOP-e... well, good. Trump needs to WORK with the GOP-e in order to get anything done (please note, “work with” doesn’t mean “sell out to”!!!!). I think it’s a good choice. I’m happy that he seems to have jettisoned Christie (who’s tainted now by Bridgegate) and hope to see Rudy as AG.
.
Up yours fool.
Preibus is a total NWO/GOPe stooge.
.
Give him a chance as CoS, he might do a good job, if not then he can be fired.
Which I might point out NOT something that Trump could do to the RNC chair.
Personally I would make priority one that the National Party does not get involved in primaries. That is the state or even local party's business. Having the National Party automatically funnel money and support to the incumbent results in the "Career Politician Protection Racket" that we have going.
Agreed.
Trump is anything has given certain ideas that...in the cuck world were never to spoken. Now that PC is dead, Rush is literally blabbing on the other day about “what’s the big deal about whites having an identity” when speaking of the folks “scared” about whites voting in white interests.
And I digress but my point is, you will have “establishment” types come out of the closet as being closer to Trump in thought, and just needed a reason to stop being a globalist
