The way I see it: If he doesn’t work out, Trump will fire his ass. He’s not shy about such things.
Christie knows.
It would match what he did with his VP pick
It does seem that Reince “flipped” to Trump after he clinched the nomination. Reince also seemed to distance himself from Ryan & Walker early on. The chief of staff doesn’t make policy and Trump will fire him quickly if he works against his boss.
Prebuis is a Tea Party guy.
Keep your friends close......
He never went wobbly like the rest
Like has been said, I trust President Trumps’instincts. I have hated Priebus in the past but he did withstand a lot from the never Trumpers, the establishment (which Priebus is a part) and others that were at war with the RNC and gave Trump the support he needed when he needed it. Give the guy a chance.
Well here the thing about Trump.. he’s got more experience as an executive then anybody. He hires and fires and resuffles like other people move chess pieces around....
no one gets set in their ways no one gets set in their job.
he’s always moving around to keep it definitely going forward like an army reshuffling the troops as they Advance across the battlefield
He constantly matching people to a given task then rematching people for the next task
Again think like and Army... most government functions like a peace time Army it just sits there statically.
But Trump functions like a Sherman or Grant or a Patton on a campaign hes constantly moving his troops forward reshuffling them pivoting changing directions he sees it as a dynamic Battlefield adapts and changes faster than anybody out there
It’s like in football the quarterback that you end up calling the field General Trump is a field General...
That was hallmark of his campaign it was always light and fast and highly adaptable almost guerrilla tactically... but with a constant Focus strategic goal
He is probably the best choice Trump could have made.
Considering how many people Trump has hired and fired in private business-I’m pretty sure he knows what he is doing-and if he decides it was not the best choice-we certainly know he has no problem saying “you’re fired”...
1. a presidential candidate who was being openly repudiated by many prominent Republicans;
2. a presidential campaign strategy in some long-term "blue" states that must have seemed outlandish to any political insider; and
3. a Senate map where the GOP had 24 of the 34 seats up for election.
Priebus is a bit of a weenie. The Chief of Staff needs to be a hard-nosed SOB at times. Newt Gingrich could carry that off. I’m not sure that Priebus can.
From Politico? I wouldn’t believe any appointment until it comes from the the Trump staff.
Hope they don’t use Politico as THE place to float trial balloons and authorized leaks....They are a cesspool. He needs to balance between courting old media and developing new media; so that new media can compete with the old one now and in the future.
Preibus will be as powerful as President Trump allows him to be. Look for Bannon to still have a major roll in helping to shape the agenda. Press coverage will be positive on this choice.
Priebus told the establishment to go pound sand when they wanted Trump’s head early in the process.. especially when they wanted to screw Trump over at the convention with the delegates.. Priebus would have nothing to do with it.. and the loyalty to Trump afterwards told Trump what he was about
.
I hope not!
The dude is certainly no leader, but he is a devious schemer.
