On Friday Reince Priebus was re-elected to a second two year term as Chairman of the Republican National Committee in a 166 to 2 vote of the members of the Republican National Committee.
No other candidates were on the ballot. The two dissenting votes were cast for Maine National Committeeman Mark Willis by members of the Maine delegation. On Thursday, Willis failed to secure the support of two committeemen from three states he needed to have his name officially placed on the ballot.
Priebus made several promises in a speech he delivered shortly before his re-election at the RNC winter meetings being held in Charlotte, North Carolina:
The task before us is transforming the party—to be a force from coast to coast... We have an opportunity and responsibility to shape the GOP of the next generation.
It’s time to stop looking at elections through the lenses of battleground states. We have four years until the next presidential election, and being a blue state is not a permanent diagnosis. Simple outreach a few months before an election will not suffice. In fact, I think we should just stop talking about reaching out, and start working on welcoming in. Political support is cultivated over time not collected on Election Day.
We are dropping the red and blue state analysis.
I’m tired of playing defense. So let’s get on offense and stay on offense.
The party is dead....just my opinion. Keep doing the same stupid crap over and over again.....I will look at the brite side... there must be another way.
Wrench Pubic is a proven loser leading a party a ne'er-do-well's. Congratulations on that achievement. Maybe next time he can successfully lose the House with his retarded accent.
