“Preibus has done an excellent job since June, defending Trump at a rally even and making sure the convention had no disruptions.”
I will give Preibus that much.....but I still don’t trust him.
I think he is playing nice with Trump in case he is elected so he won’t orchestrate his ouster.
I'm in the same camp you are: I don't trust Priebus but the facts are he played it even handedly during the primaries, knew when to try to reign Trump in (i.e. not bolt the party if he lost, support the winning candidate) and also when to defend Trump against the media. To this specific point, I saw several interviews where the interviewer told blatant lies about Trump and Priebus not only defended Trump but corrected the record and pinned the ears back of several interviewers.
So while I give Priebus credit, I still don't trust him mostly because I cannot figure out where he fits within the GOP-E power structure. Given he's played it so evenly to this point it's really hard to pin him down. He may actually be one of the good guys for all I know.
