Reince Priebus is in over his head
Washington Compost ^ | April 11, 2016 | Dana Milbank

Posted on 04/12/2016 9:52:38 PM PDT by Hostage

Reince Priebus, the beleaguered and balding Republican National Committee chairman, was asked a few days ago about his mane.

“How much gray hair do you think you’re going to have by December?” CNN’s Jake Tapper inquired.

“Gray is fine,” the party boss replied. “I just want to make sure I have hair.”

Alternatively, he could try a Whig.

This could be the first time in 160 years when a major American political party splits, and Priebus, the young technocrat from Wisconsin brought in to improve the Republicans’ infrastructure, is in over his head.

More weirdness.

Seriously, do you worship Trump?

You are writing love letters to him.

Trump just keeps turning on the lights so we can watch the cockroaches scatter.

Looks like Colo GOP Chair has a #SexScandal of his very own, and guess who his mistress was hanging with?

The Democrats have the exact same problem and will suffer the exact same fate.

“antagonizing women, minority groups and immigrants.”

Hey, it has to be done sometime. Might as well get it out of the way.

Donald, you are the true political outsider, the only candidate to come along since anyone can remember who actually possesses skills and natural talents to be a great leader. You will surround yourself with incredible people who will transform the political culture. Despite what the scumbag press says, and they have tried a thousand ways, no one could take you down because you have Americans at your back.

Every day there are thousands and thousands of new Trump supporters, many who were initially against you. People are not stupid. They may come slowly to the Trump movement, but come they will. Because the scumbags can only fool them some of the time. - Eventually, people realize you are an incredibly honest man who has worked hard all your life and you understand the day to day struggles that Americans face each day.

We should all be very grateful to Cruz and especially his followers here. They are the ones who have now blown the lid off the Republican party and exposed the corruption, the lying, the unapologetic acceptance of completely immoral behavior and their willingness to make a mockery of Christianity. It may seem stupid to not even try to cover the crap that they have been pulling, such as disenfranchising millions of voters and saying only that they are “following the rules”.

We can thank Cruz and his supporters for making all of us realize that those who claim to be “true constitutional conservatives” can actually be every bit as dishonest, immoral, and disgusting as those on the other side. I personally had no idea that this was possible until the lying the cheating and the outright hypocrisy from Cruz and his followers. I would have never suspected that any of this could happen just a couple months ago. You have opened my eyes. I am disgusted by all of this, but thank you Cruzers for waking me up to reality.

The GOPe establishment is as stupid as Cruz is.

Cruz thinks the GOPe will back his play at the convention.

The RNC thinks the media will back their play once Trump is dumped.

These two suppositions, are nowhere near reality.

To make that brutally clear, check out how Priebus is treated here.

“Reince Priebus, the beleaguered and balding...” The writer here wants to belittle Priebus. Lord knows I’m no fan of Priebus, but I call foul based on the idea that the media will always trash our people in public as long as they can get away with it. And our people let them over and over again. Trump doesn’t and won’t.

The GOPe is so confused right now that they are trying to come up with a way to reference the convention in Cleveland as an auto show, a Shriner’s convention, or a streetwalker’s training seminar, each of which would give them better press than the actual convention will.

Good luck boys.

Predominant Republicans are jettisoning plans to attend then convention. It just dawened on them that Trump is likely going to be the nominee, and they don’t want photos showing up for decades with them standing in the same arena with him.

One the outside chance Curz might pull it off, they are just as troubled.

Priebus probably sleeps on the floor in a corner sucking his thumb at night.

Bad choices tend to do that to a person.

Could have garnered an amazing amount of positive press with Trump in the race, but Priebus was too timid to stand with a real winner, as opposed to what he really is.

The GOP official doesn’t suck c**k like Milbank does.

It's been quite a long time, perhaps a generation, since there was anyone running for office who exhibited enough love for America, rather than merely leaving a trail of slime, that people were inspired to personal loyalty.

Nobody’s worshipping Trump. Don’t be an moron. Admiring someone is not the same as worshiping him. Do you admire our founding fathers or do you worship them?

“Like a little girl might write to her celebrity crush. Or a paean to an object of worship.”

The spirit of Saul Alinsky still lives. Isolate and ridicule. Nevermind how false your depiction is. Nobody worships Trump or has a crush on him. But he is admired for his abilities and patriotism. Do you fantasize about Cruz?
