Republican
National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus fears his party is in dire
straits if they lose next year’s election. “We’re cooked as a party for quite a
while if we don’t win in 2016,” he told the Washington Examiner.
News
agencies snatched the comment. According to the Gateway Pundit: The
Republican Party was “cooked” a long time ago when they started treating their
base with outright contempt.
Priebus
told the Examiner that a GOP
president is essential after two terms of Democratic control. “History is on
our side,” he said, adding that he does not anticipate a disaster for his party
in the upcoming election.
“Our
job as a national party is to elect Republicans, and it generally means House,
Senate, presidential,” he said when asked how he views the GOP’s role in
down-ballot races, especially considering how important it is to win back the
presidency after eight years of Obama.
Priebus
explained that “it’s very difficult to govern in this country – especially in
Washington, DC,” if you don’t hold the presidency. “We’re viewed at in a
presidential year as the presidential committee that is responsible for helping
elect the president, but at the same time, we have a responsibility to help pay
for the ground operation in every targeted US Senate race and the targeted
Congressional race as well, so it is our job to do all three."
“I
do think we’re cooked as a party for quite a while if we don’t win in 2016,” he
told the Examiner. “So I do
think that it’s going to be hard to dig out of something like that."
Comments
The
reason it’s difficult to govern is that 80% of the Congress plus Obama are all
“free spending Liberals”. A Liberal
Republican in the White House will be “Obama-lite”. I hope the RNC realizes
that they should not try to control this Presidential election or try to
sabotage Trump. The only candidates who know what to do are Trump, Cruz and
Paul.
