Reince Priebus is in over his head
Washington Compost ^ | April 11, 2016 | Dana Milbank

Posted on 04/12/2016 9:52:38 PM PDT by Hostage

Reince Priebus, the beleaguered and balding Republican National Committee chairman, was asked a few days ago about his mane.

“How much gray hair do you think you’re going to have by December?” CNN’s Jake Tapper inquired.

“Gray is fine,” the party boss replied. “I just want to make sure I have hair.”

Alternatively, he could try a Whig.

This could be the first time in 160 years when a major American political party splits, and Priebus, the young technocrat from Wisconsin brought in to improve the Republicans’ infrastructure, is in over his head.

This is the man(?) who will be remembered as captain of the torpedoed GOP ship.

The RNC has not provided the leadership needed to reduce all the candidates’ infighting, which they know only hurts the chances against Hillary. They were silent. They allowed this madness, and the likely loss in November.

That will make 1 win and 6 losses since GHW Bush won in 1988, an entire generation of LOSS.

"If the party accepts Trump, it could consign itself to political oblivion by antagonizing women, minority groups and immigrants."

I am sick to death of cowtowing to women, feminists, blacks, Hispanics, Illegal Invaders, men dressed as women, homosexual perverts, Muslim murderers, Takers, fakers, and the selfish.

We are SUPPOSED to have Equal Protection Under the Law in this country, and we don't. We are supposed to be a soverign nation with borders, and that has been destroyed. We are supposed to be a nation of laws and not of tyrants, and we are no longer that.

Because RNC does not care if they lose the WH. They don’t care if they lose the Senate, nor the House. RNC still gets their DC perks regardless of who wins. They care not a whit about the Republican voters. They don’t want true leaders messing up their fun and games.
2008 McPain
2012 Romney
2016 Jeb!
They push losers because they don’t want to win.
They hate Trump because they hate a winner on their team who will help to stop the madness and put America first.
America First !

Looks like "Rinse"(who names their kid Rence) stepped in it and on it with this one.On a facebook post Priebus is overheard saying to use the Diebold system in New York to keep trump under 50%. He's screwed forever.

As for those who don't believe the post how did the poster even know that diebold is used in the computer system in NY?

............................

http://beforeitsnews.com/politics/2016/04/fake-reince-rigging-voting-machines-so-trump-gets-below-50-during-nyprimary-2793975.htm

“It is interesting to me that in every primary or caucus where Ted Cruz won, we have certified, proven, sworn evidence of massive voter fraud.” – Trump surrogate Roger Stone blatantly lying about voter fraud. Stone is calling for massive demonstrations at the Republican convention in Cleveland in July. Stone also threatened to disclose hotel names and room numbers of pro-Cruz delegates.

Donald Trump warned that his supporters would respond with “riots” if he fails to secure the nomination at July’s convention in Cleveland. “I think you’d have riots, I think you’d have riots. I’m representing a tremendous many, many millions of people.” Donald Trump, March 17, 2016

There is a rumor circulating on social media that chairman of the Republican National Committee Reince Priebus is rigging electronic voting machines in New York, ensuring that presidential candidate Donald Trump will get below 50% during the April 19 primary. The lie is so incredibly moronic that one would think it would not gain legs, but it inexplicably has been shared numerous times on social media so we will address it here.

Ridiculous accusations of voter fraud have been ongoing during this horrific presidential campaign by mainly FAKE pro-Trump websites and spread all over social media. Many of these websites promoting themselves as U.S. news organizations are unbelievably based in Macedonia.

Along with the constant blatant lies has been a menacing undertone of what will happen if Donald Trump is denied his rightful place as the Republican presidential nominee, such as the tweet below:

The #NYPrimary lie appears to have started from @umpire43, who obsessively tweets about Trump’s fabulousness, while regularly trashing Trump’s opponents. There are a number of openly pro-Trump liberals on Twitter, and umpire43, or “DJ Lewis” appears to be one of them, as evidenced by his very first tweet:

We will call on all Trump millions of new voters to stay home in NOV or vote for Hillary before we allow Cruz or Rubio

Milbank was part of Ezra Klein’s “JournOlist” group from 2007/08. It was made up of about 300 bloggers and “reporters” who were actively campaigning for 0bama. This is the group that attacked Palin relentlessly during the campaign, and all the way up until 2012.

Anything he writes or says should be seen in that context.

I'll call BS on the political outsider.

Hardly.

Trumpman is up to his hair plugs in the cesspool of the establishment on both sides.

Oddly enough mostly tied to the demonrat side.

Now give Rancid Pubies some credit.

The data system he helped put into place was in some cases invaluable to the taking of the House and expanding the total there and assisted in grabbing the Senate.

Both of which Donny the Demonrat Donor has now put into seris jeopardy.

The RNC doesn't set the rules in the states anyway.

Local folks make the rules.

Which is why Don-Don is losing more delegates everyday.

Jedi.

Fog horn Rush Limbo explain it well!

GOP and DNC are private “owned” business enterprises and setting their own rules!!

Therefore they are putting up a life saving fight against Donald Trump. They are NOT leaving the battlefield laying down their weapons. They know if Trump gets in, their own gravy trains are in perils and that’s why they are fighting it with tooth and nails to survive. GOP private business with their own rules, I never thought of it in that way. But think about it !!!

Just to be fair and honest:

Trumps political contributions:

               Republicans     Democrats
 

1989-2011       $497,690       $581,350
 

2012-present    $463,450         $3,500

Fair...who wants to be fair?

If we start being nice to each other now....what am I supposed to do with all the tar and feathers I'm storing up?

Though the feathers are kinda hard to find.

That damned MY PILLOW guy is grabbing them all up.

I'm gonna have to order about 200 of the darn things to get me feathers.

We got a lot of tar and feathering to do!

FRgards,
