0 hillary, it s dead as far as priebus is concerned. it will be pushed out in the cold while republicans stick to fox and other platforms that meet their terms. well, if reince priebus has his way, as i said, the only voters who will actually vote will be republicans. and the only networks on which they ll actually appear will be the ones answering to him, reince priebus. michael steele who knows reince priebus was chairman of the republican national party before reince priebus, and joan walsh will never be chairman of the republican national committee but only works for salon. i don t think so. here s priebus on fox last night. his chosen platform describing how republican debates in the 2016 presidential election will be governed by his rules. let s listen. for the first time in the history of our party, the republican national committee has rule-making authority now, and we can tie the debate calendar. we can tie who the moderators are going to be to the nomination for president.
