Priebus slams Never Trump movement, calls for GOP unity
The Hill ^ | April 22, 2016 | Harper Neidig

Posted on 04/22/2016 9:59:23 AM PDT by McGruff

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus on Friday called for Republicans to unite ahead of the presidential election, striking back against the Never Trump movement.

“It is essential to victory in November that we all support our candidate,” Priebus said at the RNC’s spring meeting in Hollywood, Fla.

“This goes for everyone, whether you’re a county party chairman, an RNC member, or a presidential candidate. Politics is a team sport, and we can’t win unless we rally around whoever becomes our nominee,” he added, drawing applause from the audience.

“They’re trying out for our team. No one is forcing them to wear our jersey. We expect our candidates to support our party and our eventual nominee.”

Bingo, my friend!

“His drumbeat of “unfair and rigged” has settled into the electorate. He has the RNC afraid to do anything that the public might possibly perceive as being in his disfavor.”

“The RNC will not cave on the majority rule... but behind the scenes I’m sure they’re making the rule irrelevant to this situation.”

“Trump’s insurgent “novelty” campaign has led to his takeover of the party. Amazing.”

No one on this board is more pro-life than I.

Can you tell me Darren, how has the hard nosed supposed stance of the GOP on abortion prevented abortions?

Good for you! I bet that you are not in a minority re what you told them!

"Reince’s people just called me to renew my Chairman’s Advisory Board membership. Told them to get back to me after the convention to see how they treat Trump."

No Trump, no cash fellas!

Amazing how many don't understand how negotiations go for/to the guy with the winning hand.

As many of us Trump fans have been saying, the RNC faces the choice of embracing the Trump movement and staying in business or fighting him and losing it all. Maintaining control over all those Congressmen is worth as much or more to them than the presidency.

The art of the deal!

“His drumbeat of “unfair and rigged” has settled into the electorate.”

Trump is an absolute master at establishing memes that stick to people and situation like tar. His meme phrases are deliberate and calculated, not at all off the cuff.

“Dilbert” creator Scott Adams explains the calculated brilliance of Trump’s strategies,which have boxed everyone in in such a way that Trump comes out a winner and his opponents come out losers no matter what direction his opponents take:

These guys are big on focus groups.

If they run the right mix of people and the right moderators in those focus groups, they are seeing/hearing the future is with Trump not with any other loser after the NY primary.

They moderate FR, and what has happened here since the NY primary has to be another big wakeup call!

They can join with the millions of us, who will crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump or end up under the broken glass.

Reince Priebus is weak, just like Mitt Romney, John McCain. Lindsey Graham, Paul Ryan, etc. He should be tossed into the nearest garbage can, without so much as a goodbye!!!

Ever since the President of Bushco was sworn in after Reagan served his two terms.

I totally agree. Trump can do that after he wins in November.

I volunteer to shout out, “Goodbye and adios MoFo!”

Finally, finally, it dawning on the establishment dimwits that their stupidity will likely cause Republican losses all the way down-ticket to the local dogcatchers.

Not even Democrats can be as stupid as establishment Republicans.

Laugh, dear onyx, but that bunch of political wood ticks is only interested in their own survival. They climbed aboard Cruz knowing it would be used against him, and it was.

I think he is finally seeing there is more downsides than upsides if this goes extra innings.
