RNC chairman Reince Priebus joined George Stephanopoulos on ABC's This Week to discuss violence at Donald Trump's rallies and this summer's Republican National Convention.
Asked whether the idea of a contested convention was still "an extreme hypothetical," Priebus explained:
Uh -- uh probably not still the case, no. I think it's possible. We're preparing for the possibility. I think it's my job is to be as open and transparent as I possibly can be. Why I'm trying to get out there on the convention a lot, out in the media. Talk about the rules. What they are, what they're not. Take the mystery away from what an open convention looks like. It's simple stuff.
After confirming to Priebus that the RNC would insist on following the rules and ensuring whomever is nominated achieved the requisite number of delegates, Stephanopoulos asked: "Can you guarantee that the nominee would be one of the three in the race right now?"
Priebus responded: "Well, I mean, I think it would be highly unlikely if it's not, um, I can tell you that. I think it would be somewhat, very unusual. But I can't 100% guarantee that. I can't imagine right now sitting here, believing it would be anyone but the three remaining candidates."

For this, I do not blame Priebus — anything can happen at the GOP convention, I can see that he doesn’t think he can guarantee anything. That doesn’t mean it won’t happen, he just doesn’t think he can guarantee an outcome.
Violence=passion
Passion over sh-tdisturbers.
well the GOP chair, best be updating his resume, for I feel he will soon be job shopping...
Especially when Millions leave the Organization...and change party to Conservative Independent.
and I will write in DONALD J. TRUMP AND if granny Benghazi gets in power, we will have no Nation left...and the GOP can be the one to thank...
They have just gotten a bit too cocky for me to stay...total inconsiderate jerks....Professional crooks.
But, Dear Lord, can we not find a more articulate spokesman for the Republican Party?
Even that half-wit Debbie Whatshername has better communication skills.
Half the reason my fellow Trump supporters are so distrustful of the guy is that he comes across as shady and dishonest.
My advice to him: Look squarely into the camera and explain the rules as clearly and succinctly as possible.
Donald Trump Will (Almost Certainly) Never Be Elected President. Here’s Why.

No, don’t leave the party. That is what they want. Write in a name if you have to.
Rinse - you are wrong about what you think your job is....your job right now is to shut up and let the folks decide!!!
They sure are having a hard time. Snicker.
The GOP denies Donald J. Trump the candidacy.. if he reaches 1327 delegates...
I certainly will leave the party and I’ve been a registered Republican 55 years...raised two kids to be ‘Family Valued
Republicans as well and we have all said we will go Independent...everyone I come into contact with are all supporting DJT and many are very staunch Democrats all their lives..
When the GOP says Trump can’t beat Hillary are living in their dream world of shoving their choice and not the peoples choice and IT ANINT GONNA WORK THIS TIME...
Concur, this whole thing isn’t about party lines.
I will state this as I have always felt that Reince Priebus should have been taken out to the woodshed and beat like the red-headed stepchild he is from DAY ONE

I’d love to change the world. But this time for the capitalists. Jesus, love us.
Time to dump Preibus
Right in there with Trump will never file papers and Trump can’t win any states
IMO, either Trump becomes POTUS and cleans up this horrific mess or the nation comes apart and secession will be the only path to freedom.
There is no way to co-exist with Marxists.... you can only find peace through separation from them. Let them dissolve into madness without us. Once they arrive at abject squalor then perhaps we could extend a helping hand to avert human suffering.
Can you imagine a hundred million welfare cases without anyone to give them free money!?
Rinse Prius knows more than he says. His job is to condition the masses towards acceptance of what he knows is coming...
They said the same thing about Reagan in 1980 and we all know how that turned out.
Would the republican Establishnent try to Draft either, Dole,
McCain or the ever back stabbing Mutt Romney..
Great Selection ??????
