Conservatives leery of the prospect of Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus as White House chief of staff have nothing to fear, RNC Communications Director Sean Spicer said Monday.
Appearing on “The Laura Ingraham Show,” Spicer said his boss will be focused exclusively on making Donald Trump a success as president.
“He works for Donald Trump to make sure Donald Trump’s agenda, solutions, and policies get enacted,” he said. “That’s it.”
Some view Priebus with suspicion, considering he commissioned the post-2012 “autopsy” that identified failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s “self-deportation” immigration rhetoric as one of the reasons for his loss to President Obama. The report recommended accommodation on the immigration issue.
Trump took a giant wrecking ball to those assumptions and proved that an immigration hard-liner could hold his own with Hispanic voters.
Spicer said 99 percent of the autopsy report focused on the mechanics of a national campaign.
“That’s exactly what the chairman focused on, and that’s what he did,” he said.
Spicer said Priebus came up through grassroots and Tea Party circles in Wisconsin. As a Washington insider who has relationships with lawmakers in the majority party, Priebus will be of great value to Trump in navigating Congress, Spicer said.
Three lies:
1. The check is in the mail
2. I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.
3. Anything the GOP/DNC says.
When he fails, send him to Greece. He could probably be president. That would do away with the neocons in region, for a while.

Much as this guy upsets me, Trump does need someone who can negotiate the swamp. DJT strikes me as someone who will trust but verify, and Rinse will have Bannon looking over his shoulder (and vice versa), so this may not be such a bad thing overall.
Worse case scenario, we can kick him upstairs to being the Ambassador to San Marino–where he can preside as grand marshal of the pomegranate festival.
Everything President Elect Trump does is for a reason, unlike his predecessor. Try to keep your powder dry until he is sworn in, at least.
Hillary should be nominated for Ambassador to Libya.
Anybody that Trump hires, Trump can (and will) fire. They all better wake up to that.
RP got the GOP out of debt. Trump is probably looking at that as a favorable.
Laura Ingraham as a possiblee PRESS SECRETARY?
GOD BE PRAISED!
possible
WHOOPSIE!
I’m not crazy about one of Ryan’s buddies being in the administration. Especially now that he shored up his speakership. Ryan needs to go and so does anyone who tries to defend him.
All our times have come
Here but now they’re gone
Seasons don’t fear the Priebus
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain, we can be like they are
Come on baby, don’t fear the Priebus
Baby take my hand, don’t fear the Priebus
We’ll be able to fly, don’t fear the Priebus
Baby I’m your man
If I never hear from Rinsed Penis again I would be OK with that.
