I don’t feel good about this compromise.

Thanks. But will wait until it comes directly from President Trump and/or his organization.

Good choice, imo

Well, it’s not the choice I would make, but...

Priebus harnessed recalcitrant Republicans to support Trump, dedicated a lot of RNC resources to his election, and is an effective manager (though not as effective as Kellyanne Conway, IMO.)

And he’s a friend of Ryan’s, so he might be able to help with Congressional relations. (But they already have Pence for that.)

Unfortunately, as Chief of Staff, he’ll probably bring in a lot of Establishemnt Republicans who don’t share — or even see — Trump’s vision, and as Morton Blackwell reminds us, “personnel is policy.”

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.

“resident-elect Donald Trump is close to announcing a decision for his chief of staff Sunday, and the leading contender.... “

How about people stop running here with every MSM rumor and let the man announce this stuff on his own?

I swear after months of bashing these people as untrustworthy, then you guys run right back to them with tails wagging, as if nothing happened.

Priebus was very helpful to Trump during the nomination process and the campaign.

Priebus knows all the players and danger zones.

I’m not only okay with this, I think he’s a good choice.

I did not like him in the beginning but it turns out he was largely responsible for keeping the ground game together and helping Trump when the party wanted to abandon him.

The RNC had 62 campaign offices in Florida to Trump’s 1 and Clinton’s 42.

He also wouldn’t abandon Trump to work on down-ballot Republicans after calls to do so at the very end by the RINO scumbags in the party.

The Trump campaign owes him a lot for his loyalty at least.

If it is Reince, I don’t have a problem.

He was loyal. Trump gave him a really good pat on the back the other day.
He is not a hack. He and Spitzer worked hard to get out the vote.
His attention to detail would serve Trump well.

I know a lot of you don’t really like him, but he’s from Wisconsin and he has done a helluvaLOT for our state.

He gave us Governor Walker and he gave us Republican control of our House and Assembly (our word for, ‘Senate’.) Despite Paul Ryan (RINO, WI)’s attempts to hand our state BACK to the LibTards, Reince pretty much saved the day.

President-Elect (LOVE THAT!) Trump is no fool. I trust him on this one.

Somehow he has earned Trump's faith and trust.

There will be disappointments along the way but for now let's trust Trump. Maybe he's right about Rinse.

We do not know the inside baseball.

I’m good with this. Didn’t have much respect for him before this election but I’m really impressed with what he pulled off behind the scenes

I have no problem with it whatsoever.

Priebus has stood by Trump since the nomination and has gave some fantastic, common sense, conservative speeches during the rallies.

In fact, I find it a sensible choice by Trump.
