President-elect Donald Trump is close to announcing a decision for his chief of staff Sunday, and the leading contender is Republican National Committeeman Reince Priebus, according to people familiar the decision.

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

See my #121. Sun Tu.

Priebus is connected in the very circles of Establishmentarian slime that Trump led a revolution against

Trump is crazy like a fox, .

This will help get him in the hen house.

Bummer

Priebus is pro amnesty, and so are all his friends. This doesn’t look good.

[Hardens Hollow]

Thanks for the details on him, I just hope Trump doesn’t adopt some of his liberal ideas.

“Priebus is pro amnesty, and so are all his friends. This doesn’t look good.”

It would be nice if you weren’t correct. If Trump strays too far from his promises, he can have his butt kicked to the curb too!

“It shows Rinos he rewards loyalty. That said I’d wager Ryan is toast, that likely was part of deal for Preibus’ post.”

If that’s the case, I will wholeheartedly back it then.

“Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.”

Good point

Great one, actually ;)

[Lakeshark]

I’m for that if the Donald is. Trump commented that he was loyal from beginning to end and stood by him the whole time. So I don’t see a problem with it.

I agree. I watched him during the primaries, and he NEVER acted like a RINO, he never was against Trump, quite the contrary, he did his best to stop those who would steal the nomination by the GOPe and the #nevertrumpers.

He helped with turn out big time with the RNC levers he held.

I hear a lot of people criticizing Preibus here, but there is no evidence to sow he's a turncoat, a RINO, or a bad seed. Quite the contrary, from what I see, he's pretty damned good.

I think President-Elect (LOVE THAT!) Trump IS going to govern from the middle. Later. ;)

He’s going to win over the brainwashed DOLTS by showing them how AWFUL Socialism is and why our Founding Fathers got it RIGHT over 240 YEARS ago.

Best. Election. Ever. EVER! :)

[Hardens Hollow]

From the middle? I sure hope not! That wasn’t what I voted for. As long as he sticks to his promise to deport, build a wall, bring back businesses here, and appoint conservative judges, I guess the rest could wait. But none of those others!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I’m one that isn’t going to get too cocky.

We TRIED to tell the GOPe our wishes in 2010 and 2012 mid-terms. They didn’t listen.

I totally ‘get’ that we have a ‘mandate’ right now, but it is STILL going to be an uphill battle to re-take America.

Trump will STILL have to fight against the Enemy Media, the GOPe and the ‘Rats...INCLUDING jerks like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

I predict Trump will try to find some common ground and do some converting of the heathens.

The ‘Rats are in the WORST shape they’re been in since, like the 1920’s. And, GOOD!

But, they’re STILL cornered ‘Rats. Vicious and bloodthirsty, and doubling DOWN on their usual stupidity and mayhem.

One Day/One Battle At A Time. ;)

[Hardens Hollow]

How is it cocky to want what he campaigned on?

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with expecting honesty. Even from politicians.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

*I* don’t want to get too cocky in VICTORY! :)

[Hardens Hollow]

Oh ok

But we will get tired of WINNING, you know!!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

LOL!

What was Post #90?

[ilovesarah2012]

I don’t know.
