This wasn't an attack on Priebus as much as it was on Trump with a litany of charges against him. Essentially, Cohen is saying that Priebus is a fool for supporting and defending Trump.

Trump is the presumptive nominee of the party. Priebus is the head of the RNC. Why would Cohen expect anything different?

This is a transparent attack on Trump, nothing more, nothing less.

Bezos has given the command to his troops to take down Trump. Considerations for the country are secondary, he wants his tax breaks to keep Amazon afloat. That’s why he bought the Post in the first place. As much as I like Amazon.com, I don’t think they’ll survive without special treatment from the government. Trump said as much since Bezos is facing anti-trust issues without the help of the permanent bureaucracy in Washington DC.

The Mexican wall, did that come up? His belittling of John McCain, was that mentioned? His mockery of a physically handicapped reporter, did someone mention that?

Uhhhhhh. We don't know. We don't watch those stupid shows.

Besides, if you know what he said about some of the topics how come you don't know what he said about the others.

Oh. Right. Because you are one of the ventriloquist puppets that Rhodes guy was talking about the other day.

As FReeper GOPJ insightfully posted: Bill Clinton spoke at the Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Data Initiative (AGEDI) on December 13, 2011 and received a speaking fee of $500,000.

Because the 'big boys' in the UAE hated having to pretend these 'speeches' were anything other than bribes, they would often PAY people to sit in the room and listen to American politicians. Many of the people paid to show up didn't speak OR understand English.

=========================================

He said he has 20 reporters on Trump's tail........maybe Bob Woodward should report on that

Reince Priebus is trying, really he is. He is striving for a balance between the #NeverTrump and the #NeverHillary wings of the Republican party, and that may be a task that would daunt Hercules himself.

Slowly, the #NeverHillary side may be gaining. Whether the gap may be closed before the convention in July, is another thing. Right now there is an attempt to form a third-party run, surprisingly not from liberal Republicans, but from what were considered to be really orthodox conservative Republicans. This is very bad politics for a number of reasons, not least of which would be the “Perot effect”. Every single vote such a third party would get, comes at the expense of The Donald, and Herself would be elected on a plurality, just as Slick was in 1992 and again in 1996.

But the third party route should not be abandoned. In a sort of Operation Chaos, if Bernie Sanders could be persuaded to mount a third party from the left, that just might take enough away from Herself to tilt the popular vote (and more importantly the electoral votr) to The Donald.

If there is way too much money being slung around in politics, that may just be the most effective way to apply it.

There’s a reason that people compare this so-called newspaper with rotting garbage.

I beg to differ good sir. Rotting garbage can be used as fertilizer. With the exception of a bird cage liner I know of no useful function of the New York Times.

I thought it was more Trump bashing and portraying Bribeus as a hapless troll.

Reindeer Penis wanted his bro Walker, and during Wisconsin primary he all but made sure Trump didn’t win the big towns.

The RNC chair is supposed to be neutral, Penis was never for Trump.

Ryan-O is from Wisconsin. Reindeer still hasn’t read him the pledge he made all candidates take.

While Ryan wasn’t a candidate, he knows the party wanted unity. Reindeer Penis isn’t getting people in line.

During the campaign there were vote stealing, Cruzifer handed out IRS looking literature , lied at caucuses in a coordinated way and Reindeer didn’t do nothing about it.

Cruzifer bought nude Melania pics and had them published.
A new low for Republicans. States denied voters the chance to vote. Another new low for the party of Lincoln.

Reindeer Penis is a leaderless leader, deserves to be fired for being biased, allowing dirty tactics, allowing voter supression and voter nullification.

FIRE REINDEER PENIS

Richard Cohen sexually harasses female interns in the workplace.

Cohen, you're a vile old troll.

Wonder if Cohen ever shared rides on the Lolita Express with Bill Clinton and Epstein?

Maybe Richard Cohen will arc out after Trump gets elected, like Lars-Erik Nelson [D-NY Daily News] did in 2000 when Bush beat scumGore.

“Priebus must be doing something right. The Washington Post now considers him someone to be worried about.”

Exactly. Otherwise they wouldn’t bother. The GOP was supposed to obligingly self destruct and hand the presidency to Hillary, gift -wrapped, by getting rid of Trump, the only one with a chance against Hillary. But they woke up in time and now are supporting Trump. Hillary and the Dems are worried about Trump and a united Republican party supporting him.

Mrs. Submareener and I agree. Reince sounded like a man who had correctly analyzed the situation and decided to get on the Trump Train. I think he likes being the RNC Chairman, and now knows that he is under new management.

Speaking of fools with no shame, anyone who would work for the Pravda of the USA, the Washington Posthole. Second are those who would read it.

Just as bad are those people who continue to use Amazon.com and continue financing Jeff Bezos, the owner of the WaPo in his quest to destroy Donald Trump and hand the presidency to cankles.

I liken it to those who complain about the propaganda from Hollywood then talk about their cable or dish subscription and the latest offering on TV or the theaters.

How can we expect to win an ideological war with these people while stuffing our money into their pockets?

RNC chair probably a pretty thankless job at best.
