Trump: If I win, I might oust RNC chairman
CNN ^ | April 18, 2016 | Daniella Diaz

Posted on 04/18/2016 9:49:11 AM PDT by McGruff

If Donald Trump clinches the 1,237 delegates required to win the Republican nomination, he said he's not sure he'll keep Reince Priebus as chairman of the Republican National Committee.

"I don't know. I haven't made the determination," the Republican front-runner told The Washington Post in an interview posted Sunday.

The comments come as Trump spent the last few days attacking the Republican Party's nominating rules -- calling the process "rigged" against him -- which has caused top members to fight before their meeting in Florida later this week.

Donald Trump has been a Republican since the days of RR.

Your a fool. Just ask New Yorkers if Trump is a Goper. Ask Rudy Guliani. Just wait until tomorrow and see if the GOP in New York supports Trump.

Trump knows it’s not rigged against him....his followers believe it though and that gets them riled up...which is the objective

It surprises me how often Trump's ridiculous declarations take people in. Trump plays to people's passions instead of their mind. Scott Adams seems to have nailed Trump on that one. It's great that Trump can persuade, but I wish he would do it the way Reagan did. That is, with substance.

It is like the modern evangelical church in America. Either they don't know the Gospel or they don't believe it is true. So the church is reduced to cheap entertainment to get people in on Sundays. I feel that is Trump vs Cruz. Cruz has the substance and the track record, but we're more interested in getting people's votes than truly changing their minds. I guess that makes me a person that does not like to win at all costs. So be it. Politics is not God.

Don't get me wrong, I will vote Trump if he is the nominee.

One little catch here...

Trump’s chances of winning are slim to none.

Instead of concerning himself with ousting the RNC Chair (who by the way does need to be ousted), he ought to concern himself with trying to not hurt the rest of the GOP candidates and incumbents who are down the ballot.

"He can't. It takes a 2/3 vote of the RNC to remove the chairman"

This is the longest run by an RNC chair since FrankNFurter under Ronaldus Magnus, and Frank had a win to show for his work. Rinse has nothing. Trump wants him gone, HE'S GONE.

Every new GOP nominee picks his preferred chairman of the national GOP. This has always been. Trump is to dumb to know this or he would not have needed to say it. Romney appointed Preibus.

You’re not honestly expecting that, are you? For Donald to go after his good friends that are Democrats? Prepare to be disappointed. He may go after Obama a little. And he’ll make a few cracks about Hillary (she is a woman, supposedly, after all). But he will never actually blame the Democrats like he has already blamed the Republican Party and conservatives for the fubar condition of the nation.

Here’s what he said back in 2004...


Donald Trump says Democrats are better for the economy.

BLITZER: Do you identify more as a Democrat or Republican?
TRUMP: Well, you’d be shocked if I said that in many cases I probably identify more as Democrat. And I think you’d probably be shocked...

BLITZER: On social issues?

TRUMP: You know, it’s interesting, I’ve been now around long — you know, I think of myself as a young guy, but I’m not so young anymore. And I’ve been around for a long time. And it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats...

BLITZER: Well, it certainly did well under Clinton. But I wouldn’t suggest it was so great under Jimmy Carter.

TRUMP: That’s true. That’s true.

BLITZER: If you remember, the interest rates...

TRUMP: No, I know. I know. Jimmy Carter was not in the same thing.

But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we’ve had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans.

"Every new GOP nominee picks his preferred chairman of the national GOP. This has always been. Trump is too dumb to know this or he would not have needed to say it."

Really? Because apparently that would give Trump something in common with the Tedlims on this thread, who cannot grasp that very idea.

Simple: Reince Priebus, the low life Republican/Conservative Establishment, butt adoree must go. DJT......fire this guy....he is useless, does not honor “one man, one vote” and chooses and supports “smoke filled room GOP Establishment vermin” as his allies!!! He is all for stealing the power of the people and curbing their freedom. Dump him, N-O-W!!!

The nominee ALWAYS has the right to remove the chairman, and many do. They don’t whine and brag about it, though.

MIGHT??????

Why would he let him stay? He’s prove to be incompetent.

Does the party nominee have a say in who runs it?

How on earth did debbi blabbermouth Shultz get to be head of all democrats?

If he doesn’t, we need a TEA party march on GOP headquarters.

Take over every office, toss everyone out of the building, and start manning the phones and handling all the mail and paperwork.

Don’t let them back in the door.

Who wants to be chairman?

Priebus was not planning to run again after the election. But Trump can’t remove him, and it is doubtful the members of the RNC are going to install a Trump supporter once Priebus steps down.

I heard Preibus in an interview with Hannity. Smug, chuckling on questions about voter disenfranchisement, condescending.

A total ass.
