RNC Chair Priebus: ‘Far Too Late’ For Stop-Trump Movement

Sunday on “This Week,” the chairman of the Republican National Committee Reince Priebus said the stop Trump movement among Republicans unhappy with the front-runner are “far too late.” ...

PRIEBUS: “Well, sure it would. Of course it would. But I also think it’s far too late. I think this is — it’s somewhat — some folks find it to be interesting and that’s great. But it isn’t likely and it’s probably too late

[Repeal 16-17]

I hope his telling the truth and not simply trying trick Trump into a false sense of security.

Do you think that a man who tells the truth would be the head of the RNC, and does the GOP ever do anything other than trick people?

[MasterGunner01]

I would not trust RNC chair Rancid Prius to tell the truth any further than I could throw the Queen Mary's anchor. He's simply a liar and deceiver and RINO.

PRIEBUS: “Well, sure it would. Of course it would. But I also think it’s far too late. I think this is — it’s somewhat — some folks find it to be interesting and that’s great. But it isn’t likely and it’s probably too late and there is no definitive answer right now as to who the nominee is going to be of our party. So I think all of it’s far too early, George.”

Double speak anyone? Good grief. What a doofus.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

His point is that it is far too late for a third party effort - which is correct - and too early to say that Trump is the nominee, which is also correct.

Both are perfectly reasonable statements that are consistent with each other.

He's fronting for the corrupt GOPe.

Absolutely he is lying.

[MuttTheHoople]

Remember about the GOP -even... They’re effeminate sissyboys. They’ll roll over to all Alpha males, and The Donald is the biggest alpha -male out there.

[Windflier]

Is this a head fake, or is Preibus being candidly honest here?

It would be a lot more convincing if he said flat out that no shenanigans of any type will be allowed, which could rob the people of their choice of nominee.

[ntnychik]

Reince’s weaselly comments didn’t mention an effort to ensure that Hillary wins.

[mbrfl]

I suspect some of the rank and file Republicans in Congress are voicing their concern to Preibus of how destructive an ‘Anybody but Trump’ candidate would be to their reelection prospects. They may not love the idea of a Trump candidacy, but they know that stealing it from him at the convention would be suicidal, and they would feel the brunt of voter anger with a massive rejection of the GOP at the ballot box this November. The self-preservation instinct is kicking in for them. Trump’s back channel discussions with GOP members of Congress is probably helping them to understand this.

Buyer beware.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Damned straight!

[mowowie]

I read an article recently from a major republican figure in Wisconsin describing Priebus as a major league scum ball...

[ObamahatesPACoal]

He’s just the frontman to the terrible GOPE rock band. He’s not part of a big conspiracy that’s other people.

[enumerated]

I’m not too worried about Trump getting tricked.

[techno]

Do you really think that Trump is that stupid?

[Windflier]

I agree with you about elected Republicans pressuring GOP insiders to abandon their ‘Stop Trump’ campaign. I’ve already decided that I will take revenge against any and all GOP incumbents if the party steals the electoral process from the people.

[dfwgator]

How does Priebus still have his job? Seriously?

[mbrfl]

“I’ve already decided that I will take revenge against any and all GOP incumbents if the party steals the electoral process from the people.”

Me too. And the more they’re made aware of this, the better.
