Priebus Gives CNN First Post-Interview

He got bullied right out of there.

Now, call me crazy, but I think it's possible that if Trump is still President this time next year, Vince McMahon will be in the cabinet and all meetings will be held Wrestlemania style. Perhaps even in a cage.

I thought it was bad that Reince caved and joined the Administration. I understand that he probably thought that a reasonable voice could temper this dumpster fire of a President.

I really enjoy how relieved that Spicer and Priebus looked in the post-resignation interviews.
 

I don't know Spicer probably did it for money. Priebus has bought the hook line and sinker from Trump and also Hannity. He was talking about the fake news and how amazing Trump was even after he got fired. He may be relieved but he is still touting the bad party line that got us mixed up with Trump in the first place. I say if Reince was more vocal about how bad *****gate was then he wouldn't have won the nomination, but he probably didn't want to cause a complete civil war in the party at that point.
 
Priebus reminded me of that scene from ANIMAL HOUSE where a young Kevin Bacon is pledging to the typical macho rich boy frat and he is bent over as the sadist Needermeyer beats his ass with a paddle and Bacon utters the famous line .... "thank you sir may I have another". That was Priebus during this interview.

Trump and Scaramouch bent him over the table before the nation and humiliated him and all he can do is smile and pretend he was being made love to after a whirlwind courtship by such great people. Its sad that he is such a wimp.
 

Folks who fail at their jobs usually are upon leaving.
 

If he had been recruited to participate in the impeachment of Trump now is not the time to admit it, so smiling and saying "I still love Trump (paraphrase)" is the right call. The man is not an idiot, he just was not able to do the job he was asked to do.

Or he did not want to do....we dont know yet....but we will.

That would be really cool, but only if the fake was taken out and it was all real.
 

What I want to know is, can he do the fandango?
 

option three: he was not given the power to do the job that is necessary to do it.

Exactly!!! I am waiting for some comedy show to do a montage of him to that Queen song --- it should be great with that line being repeated over and over again in a loop.

I don't think he will be there long enough for SNL to return in the fall though.

This is not a charity operation, and this is an extremely important position, Trump was never going to hand over power without some reason to believe that it would be used well.

Priebus should have known from the start that he needed to prove himself to Trump, but he never did.

His replacement on the other hand has earned that trust.
 

Again - one option is that he was never given the power necessary to properly do that job. Several discussions on cable have indicated this just might be the case. Time will tell.

I have already stipulated this, with me claiming that he was never gifted power because Trump would never do that for this position, and he never earned it either, so he never got it, so he was never going to work so bye bye.

If that is true- then Trump set him up to fail and got just what he deserved.

I kept giving Spicer the benefit of the doubt. And with a less contentious press v. White House he might have done just fine. But he took everything way too personal, imo. Sometimes he was painful to watch.

If I set you up with a hot piece of ass and you cant close the deal then it was your fault, dont blame me.

Priebus had what it took to get the job, he did not have what it took to succeed at the job, because he could never win Trump over, which was his fault and given how he is acting he might just understand this.
 
He did not want to give up the last shred of integrity.
 

Some of the experts analyzing the situation seem to feel very differently. They are saying that he never was given the authority to do the job in the first place.
