Priebus?

[Free Bird]

I know he won't run, but if he, or any chair for that matter, ran for President, would any other figure stand in his way in the primary?

[daveosupremo]

Of course. Nobody would stay out because Priebus got in.

[SteveRogers]

Lol what? Yes, every other figure would stand in his way in the primary. He'd be a third tier candidate. I suppose he could guarantee himself an invitation to the debates*, but with no natural base of support among the primary electorate, I don't see how he'd rise above ~5% in the polls.

*Which brings to mind the obvious conflict of interest. Is there anything in the party rules preventing the sitting RNC chair from running for president?

[Ebsy]

Has he ever held elected office? I'm still confused as to how he became RNC Chair without being a governor or congressman.

Or DNC Chair for that matter, which could theoretically be a huge problem if Debbie Wasserman-Schultz remains chair, continues in Congress, and tries to run for President.

[Ebsy]

It's not going to be a huge problem. DWS is not ever, ever, ever going to run for President.

[Türkisblau]

Why Reince Priebus? We should really be talking about the inevitable Beet Approved^TM Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Lol what?

He was chairman of the Wisconsin GOP for a few years and was well regarded for his work in bringing them considerable gains in 2010.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

jao

[Mr. Illini]

Literally everyone would stand in his way
