Something to note on the Elaine Duke Acting Secretary Role:
Here's the executive order Obama signed on the subject:

What about Price? He said he'd fire him if the health care thing didn't pass.

GOP Twitter account in the midst of the billion GOP dumpster fires asks why isn't the media focusing on Debbie Wasserman Schultz?

He's got THE MOOCH whispering in his ear now, so maybe...
I think it is convention that they serve for a single term, unless they massively fuck-up in some way.
Edit: Looked it up, average tenure is a lot shorter than I thought, just 18 months. Priebus still way off from that.
Resigned? He got fired over Twitter and you know it.

I go take a nap after doing an interview and when I wake up, there are firings and divorces!?

Oh, Kelly's retired. I guess that's a bit better and less... dictatorship-esque.

Hard to imagine Ryan cares so much. White House has basically accussing him of treason but there hasn't been really any defense for him. Not like there has been for Sessions at least

How will he function in the WH in general? Trump is in disarray himself. No matter who you put in, it's going to be a shitshow anyway!
Exactly this. Its almost like police get carte Blanche to abuse everyone as long as they make it a point of killing enough minorities.
So why not just pick the mooch and be done with it? he's found his favored sycophantic hype man
What does how other White House staff found out about it have to do with the topic

Because if he had resigned, we would have heard about earlier because it would have leaked out of this White House
See above
It doesn't take much effort to infer that that is referring to staff other than Priebus.
You think he wouldn't tell his staff he quit? And that it wouldn't leak?

Could it be possible that he didn't tell anyone besides Trump? He could have actually resigned late last night.

IDK, Trump is an idiot? It'll be interesting to see the dynamic for sure, though.
He was fired. He was clearly forced out. His choices were to resign or get fired. This is common at this level of government in most cases. They chose to be nice to Preibus here and let him go out on his own terms. And really they didn't even do that, because generally he would announce his resignation first.

He fired Comey over twitter..
he is trying to get Sessions to quit by bullying him..
Yet Priebus quit yesterday and it didn't leaks out before this very moment.

Could it.. sure? Do you think we wouldn't have seen it leak out over twitter beforehand? Everyone leaks everything..
Even if Reince doesn't tell his staff, what are the odds Trump keeps his mouth shut this long?

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
It does seem absurd to think he wouldn't tell any of his staff he resigned and instead let them find out via Twitter.
Yes, it's possible he submitted a resignation but was hoping to stick around for a short transition period, and that he hadn't made that known to WH staff.

And is it possible Trump didn't tell anyone until now?

The GOP gave itself cancer lulz
What is the point of that, they want to pass LESS legislation?
I'm gonna grab some popcorn.
Less than 24 hours later? Yes.
He was absolutely forced out. I was only making fun of Ryan's timing.

Happiest man in the world right now.
I need for The Mooch to get Bannon all squared away and I'll be a fan forever.

Sooooooo Trump-backed primary challengers all over 2018?
They aren't complete Trump sycophants, therefore they are his enemies.

He's going to become a straight up liberal so people will love him.

Trump lashes out when he feels weak, and he always reverts to his favourite few targets. I guess it makes sense that eventually, if things aren't going well, he would return to attacking the establishment GOP.

Oh my god, I'm not expecting it because it'd be way too good to be true, but poaching Johnson would be a godsend.
Feingold come back, we still need you. (Yes he'd be a repeat candidate and I think the party should move away from that, but I heart Feingold and want him back in my life)
Actually that totally seems like a Trump thing to do. He dicked over McConnell in Montana (appointing Zinke), North Dakota and West Virginia (not appointing Manchin or Heitkamp, which would have created Likely R pickups). He clearly doesn't care.
