Well, duh. Of course he will try to have his own chairman who will watch his back. That’s pretty typical. Not sure why this is news.
I’d like to know who hired him so I know who the idiot was.
He shouldn’t inform Priebus of his intentions: keep him off guard. Goldwater made chairman William E. Miller his running mate and Dean Burch the new chairman. After the election Burch was sacked by the ruling moderates in favor of Ray Bliss. So should Trump make Priebus his running mate?
Like a master poker player, Trump just raised the stakes for the establishment lap dogs at the RNC.
After all, it’s “in the rules” that the Presidential nominee gets to choose the party chairman.
Live by the “rules” die by the “rules” — to hell with doing what is right — scum.
Three consecutive terms under a Democrat president who has been ramming BS down our throats for 8 years.
Rinsed did such a bang-up job with Mittens in 2012 ... ditch this looser!
Cruz will make him Chief of Staff
I suspect Reince will jump ship first.
There will always be a job on K Street for the likes of Priebus. They had Cantor signed up before he even cleaned out his desk.
PLEASE. DUMP THIS JERK PRIEBUS! Don’t know what language Priebus is, but it must mean Butt-Head.
Whoever the President is, Trump, Cruz, or Hillary, I think Rince said he’s done after this term.
He’s already held the job longer than normal, 3 two-year terms.
The RNC has already made it clear that Trump will not be allowed to install his own people if he wins the nomination. Now if he wins the presidency he might have more leverage to do that, but Reince was not running to be the RNC chief next year anyway.
Counting on it!
And if he doesn’t win, the most likely Hillary will and the owners of the GOP will kick Reince to the curb anyways for losing what should have been the easiest election in a century.
So either way, Priebus is toast.
LOL!
The Tyrant is revealing his true nature.
NO STATES RIGHTS!
Just as the RNC does not dictate to the states, the Federal Government’s powers are limited to those specifically enumerated in the Constitution.
But, not if Donald is in charge!
I think regardless if Trump gets the nomination or not, the GOPe/RNC are finished.
Life as these cockroaches have known it will be over.
For one thing, they’ll have to actually work for a living.
Exactly why is this surprising or even news? It is almost always the case that a new President does two things at the start. One is to put his own team as head of the party apparatus and two to fire every political appointee that has not chosen to resign.
This CNN report rates a Duh for useful information. Bush 43 really screwed himself by not ruthlessly following number two.
Might? That’s not good enough. Run him out on a rail within the first week.
If Sir Lard Huckabee doesn’t want to move to DC (lives in Destin now) and take a Cabinet job for Trump, he would make a luxurious, Trumptastic RNC Chairman. Yuge.
This gets really old, Donald go after the democrats for a change, how about Debbie Wasserman Shultz?
One little catch here...
Trump’s chances of winning are slim to none.
Instead of concerning himself with ousting the RNC Chair (who by the way does need to be ousted), he ought to concern himself with trying to not hurt the rest of the GOP candidates and incumbents who are down the ballot.
He should definitely Rinse Prenis.
