If Donald Trump clinches the 1,237 delegates required to win the Republican nomination, he said he's not sure he'll keep Reince Priebus as chairman of the Republican National Committee.
"I don't know. I haven't made the determination," the Republican front-runner told The Washington Post in an interview posted Sunday.
The comments come as Trump spent the last few days attacking the Republican Party's nominating rules -- calling the process "rigged" against him -- which has caused top members to fight before their meeting in Florida later this week.

Donald Trump doesn’t have the power to make that decision. It’s not his decision to make.

If Priebus loses his job, how will he be able to afford all of the makeup, hairstyling and dental work which keep him presentable on TV?

Well that explains why all the concerted opposition to Trump winning the nomination. He most definitely would turn their applecarts over.
Hoo boy. What would a Trumped-up GOP look like? Why didn’t anybody tell us about this before?

BTW - I wouldn’t be sad to see Reince go, but not for a Trump stooge who isn’t conservative.

The nominee and if elected President has much clout over who has positions in political parties... Romney helped choose his ‘prince’ via the selection of lying Ryan as his veep candidate... The GOPe is a liberal Wisconsin cabal.

Donald Trump doesn’t have the power to make that decision. It’s not his decision to make. Incorrect. The nominee becomes head of the Party and if elected as President has historically chosen the party chairman.

Replace him with Palin. I would soooooooo love that.

Reince Priebus.
Charles Dickens himself couldn't have come up with a better Dickensian name for a pompous, arrogant, out-of-touch effete elitist.

It’s not a feud. It’s a warning.
It’s how men in a non-PC culture operate - straightforward and honest.
To: McGruff
Agree Rinse Fleabait needs to polish that resume. He ought appoint someone outside the box as the new chairman. You know who might be good, but Trump would be accused of nepotism of the highest order... Don, Jr.

Of course the system is rigged against outside candidate. Why do you think Jeb said he could lose the primaries and still get the nomination? Why is Kasich still in the race? Why did Ryan say that any of the candidates who ran were eligible to get the nomination?

Nah, Trump’s baiting.
Typical pattern.
Anything other than Trump / Cruz is going to be hard to get people excited about.

I didn’t know that the president had the power to fire the party chairman.
Historically, a POTUS has always called the shots of his party.

To: McGruff; All
The constitutionlly undefined political parties have done great damage to the constitutional republic imo, particularly with respect to ignoring state sovereignty. And constitutionally low-information Trump evidently does not understand this.
Trumps supporters need to get him up to speed on the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.
