I'll bet 90% of registered Republicans could not pick him out of a lineup... and 99% couldn't even properly spell or pronounce his name.

 

IMO Reince Priebus is doing a pretty good job. Can we all remember Michael Steele, as an example of how the job should not be done?

A wise move on your part. One of the ways you can tell if the head of the RNC (or the DNC for that matter) is doing his/her job is how often do you see their name in the media.

I'm an Independent-Republican. By that, I mean that I'm not a Republican, but end up voting that way, considering that the Democrats are Socialists and have been for quite some time...so voting for them represents voting against the American Constitutional Republic. I have been actively Independent since 43's second term. I feel that the Republicans squandered a great opportunity & allowed a complete idiot socialist poseur to become pResident. It was through God's grace that we survived a Democrat Congress & pResidency. Even when the Tea Party helped regain the House & the Senate, the RNC thumbed their noses at those of us who helped them regain power. They are now squandering another few terms. The "will of the people" is as antiquated as that old yellow document that they pledge their loyalty. Just my opinion.

Sr. Woodchuck , it may be your opinion but its also the truth.

Valin, Rince and the RNC have gravely and greatly let us down. He may be doing a "pretty good job" but that is not good enough.

Fought for Fiorina. Not go along with the establishment inside the Beltway mentality of calling the Tea Party supporters "terrorists". Support the truly conservative candidates for starters that we the base wanted. Edited to add that the RNC and GOP leadership is the reason they have Trump now.

Wow. Sanders is wiping the floor with Clinton in NH. Feel the Bern!

It's such a shame that Christie dropped out...

 

I was truly looking forward to see him on stage with Hillary.

 

Those two Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum bodies on the same debate stage would be priceless.

This afternoon on Wolf Blitzer, Wolf interviewed the Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, and Wolf said, "I'm sure you took a close look at the Republican primary exit polls from New Hampshire last night, Mr. Priebus. Here are a few numbers that may be of concern to you. Forty-seven percent of the Republican voters said they felt betrayed by Republican politicians. Fifty percent said the next president should be from outside the so-called establishment. Are you worried, Mr. Priebus, about those kinds of numbers? These are Republican primary voters, after all, answering this way."

PRIEBUS: No, not really, because I think there's a lot of people in both parties that are mad at the parties, mad at the system, mad at Washington that, you know, it's a factional type government. It's sort of very difficult, obviously, when you have a split government, to get things done, and people don't have time for things not getting done. And so --

RUSH: Do you believe this?

PRIEBUS: -- I think it's pretty normal and I think it's pretty common and --

RUSH: Do you believe this?

PRIEBUS: -- I expect that that sort of vein is gonna play itself out through --

RUSH: Holy smokes.

PRIEBUS: -- the next few months and we'll have a unified party when it's done. And those folks, as long as they're staying involved, which I think is important for us to keep those folks involved in the party --

RUSH: Right, right.

PRIEBUS: -- that they will participate come November of 2016.

RUSH: Maybe I am missing something here, but didn't he just say, in answer to Wolf Blitzer explaining all these Republican primary voters saying that the next president should come outside the establishment, 47% feel betrayed by Republican politicians, did he just say that he understands it because Republican voters are upset that things aren't getting done in Washington? I heard that right. Let me consult the transcript here. I just want to be certain that I'm not accused of misrepresenting or misinterpreting this.

So have the transcript here: "I think there's a lot of people in both parties mad at the parties, mad at the system, mad at Washington that, you know, it's a factional type government. I mean, it's sort of very difficult, obviously, when you have a split government to get things done and people don't have time for things not getting done, and so I think it's pretty normal, I think it's pretty common."

With all due respect, it appears that the chairman of the Republican National Committee does not know, or if he does know, does not want to explain in truth why he knows what he knows. But on the surface here it appears he doesn't know that most Republican voters are sick and tired of what has gone on in Washington. Everybody harps on the fact that there's gridlock and nothing's getting done. That couldn't be further from the truth. Too much is getting done. Witness the most recent budget deal. The Republicans clearly have a desire to work with Obama. They clearly have a desire to work with the Democrats. Mitch McConnell has made it abundantly clear that's what their intentions and hopes are.

In most people's opinion there has been too little gridlock, there hasn't been enough disagreement, there hasn't been enough stopping the Democrats from advancing their agenda. But apparently it's one of two things: Either Mr. Priebus actually believes this, that you are ticked off at all of the disagreements in Washington preventing things from getting done. Meaning you like government, you want more of it, you want government working, and you want a Republican Party that makes the government work, and you want a Republican Party that can work with the Democrats and get things done because only government can get things done.

And I'm here to tell you, if he really believes that, that's a shocker. It may be something he has to say for donor purposes or what have you. Mr. Priebus, Republican voters are mad at what has gotten done. Republican voters are frustrated beyond their ability to express it and display it to you. They are fed up at the fundamental transformation of America that is unstopped, to which there is no opposition expressed.

But you know these establishments types, they do, they keep running around -- I mean, if you leave Chris Christie to his own devices, he will campaign, 'cause he did, on the basis that he can work with the Democrats. I saw him say it just a couple months ago. (imitating Christie) "I'm the guy, I'm your guy. You want Washington to work, I'm your guy. I'm the guy that can cooperate with the Democrats. I'm the guy that can tell the Democrats, 'Hey, if you got ideas I like, I want your ideas. We can work together, I'm the guy. We can cross aisles."

You start saying that and the Republican primary voter is gonna cancel you out. You are not going to get anywhere. So Jeb Bush up in New Hampshire yesterday, you know, everybody wants to project and predict what's gonna happen, then when it does or doesn't happen, they start telling you why it did or didn't happen. Like people are trying to explain what went wrong with Rubio. Everybody harps on his debate performance. But there might be other factors that you don't know. In terms of Jeb Bush, why didn't he do better with all of this money?

Look, I think when you're up in New Hampshire and you got a decided Libertarian and independent moderate electorate, Jeb's actually up there running against Citizens United. You've got John Kasich saying he may be more to the left of Hillary Clinton, but Kasich's message is almost expressed with tears (imitating Kasich), "We've gotta work together, we gotta love people, we gotta show people that we love 'em, and we gotta let them love us. And we gotta show that love is the answer, we do, we do, we have to stop this bickering, we have to work together.

Given the fact Reince Priebus has very little real political power what can he do? Except try to get good candidates nominated and elected. He is basically a fund raiser.

​Well, he can continue to fund-raise for compromisers like Jeb & spend obscene hundreds of millions on losers, so that Karl Rove can explain it all away with his white-board.

 

They've already accomplished 300+% of their ability to do that.

 

The Establishment Republican Party is dominated by political wanker's with money grubbing fists stained by corporate donor lucre...from "shearing the sheeple."

 

This is much better than the strong-armed mandatory union donations that put Democrats in office! {that's sarcasm}

 

Priebus is cycling the Tour-de-France on a stationary bike, while Rove is performing election cyclist semaphore & handing him cups of Evian in crystal throw away cups.

 

Well done crony capitalist cheerleaders! Onward to the next 4 year plan!

 

Listening to the people that keep big business running, (by buying their products) and want their politics separate from the clown-car of party politics would be a start.

 

It's no longer parties "of the people" but elitist enterprises of oligarchy.

I also think it is part of his job to appear non partisan between the Republican candidates ( I have seen where it seems difficult for him at times)

FBI probes machete attack at Ohio restaurant, police say motive unclear (at the Nazareth Restaurant)

 

The FBI is investigating a machete attack Thursday night that turned a popular, Israeli-owned restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, into a bloodbath, but local police say there is no indication so far of a terror motive.

Of the four patrons wounded in the attack at the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli, one was in critical condition before being upgraded to “stable.” The attacker was identified as Mohammad Barry, a law enforcement source told Fox News.

"There's nothing to lead us to believe this is anything more than a random attack," Columbus police spokesman Sgt. Rich Weiner told the The Columbus Dispatch.

 

 

 

Yup... I may be profiling by thinking that the Israeli owner might be Jewish and the attacker named Mohammad might be Muslim...

 

and this may play into a motive that's still unclear and probably just "random".

 

However I'm prone to casting broad nets and jumping to conclusions like most close minded conservatives.

 

Anyway... I thought that Ohio restaurants were machete free zones???
