“Yuck—another Priebus/Pence pick in a key position.”
Starting to look like Priebus has more clout than Bannon. Wonder what the art of the deal with Priebus was...
It’s interesting that Priebus was said to (and he didn’t deny this when asked) told Trump he should drop out when the tape came out, but Trump has never had anything bad to say about him and gave him a position in the White House.
I imagine Trump figures he needs Priebus and Pence to keep Ryan and McConnell on board to at least get his initial agenda and appointments through. So some compromises and buy offs are in order.
But this seems like a key spot to not want a RINO hack filling.
