Well thank god its not Bannon. But Bannon is in the white house. BAD!

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus will be President-elect Donald Trump’s chief of staff, while campaign CEO Stephen Bannon will be chief strategist and senior counselor to the president.

The campaign made the announcement Sunday afternoon in a press release.

“I am thrilled to have my very successful team continue with me in leading our country,” Trump said in a statement. “Steve and Reince are highly qualified leaders who worked well together on our campaign and led us to a historic victory. Now I will have them both with me in the White House as we work to make America great again.”

I don't like this, but if it keeps Bannon out of any hot seats, I'll breath a little easier. =/

Now they just gotta pick Clarke for this shit to really pop off.

 

[Nibiru]

Very smart pick. I never expected Bannon would want that job he has enough on his plate. Makes sense that he would be an adviser. Of course the Dems really wanted Bannon so they could attack him for it and Trump just robbed them of the satisfaction.

Bannon to be played by Brad Dourif in the 2021 biopic of Trump?

Dems wanted Bannon? Prove that.

No fucking way does ANYONE want that


We should all want this guy to surround himself with as many competent and experienced people as possible

What in the actual the fuck are talking about?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Would have been better if he kicked Bannon to the curb. But maybe since he is staying on will make this ship sink that much faster.

 

[Escape Goat]

It'll just be easier for Trump to enact his shitty policies with someone like Priebus to bridge teh gap.

Bannon is still apart of the administration. And just like he "wasn't" a huge part of the campaign, he "won't" be a huge part of this. Right.

Bannon as chief of staff would have indicated that Trump might be warring with the GoP for the better part of his run. Dems want that.

Bannon should be nowhere near the White House. Sadly, that's not what we're getting.

You saying this does not make it true. Prove you're not pulling this out of your ass. I think that's exactly what're you're doing

 

[DudeWithNoName]

Now keep that fucker Christie away from Attorney General and I can sleep easier.

[Wilsongt]

He's still a shitty choice, but a step above Bannon.

So, Giuliani instead?

What are Priebus' negatives?

I can't stand Trump, but I really the loved the campaign's empty but effective marketing messages.

I will take Christie over Giuliani.

Be careful, it might be Rudy. Who is worse.

Your tag continues to incredibly accurate.

Bannon.

First of all Bannon being anywhere in the adminstration brings conflict with the rest of the GOP since they despise him, but no, dems do not want more people getting hurt.

 

[Nibiru]

You saying this does not make it true. Prove you're not pulling this out of your ass. I think that's exactly what're you're doing

I'm saying that Reince Priebus is a cunning dude and gets things done so don't expect GoP infighting at least not early on.

First of all Bannon being anywhere in the adminstration brings conflict with the rest of the GOP since they despise him, but no, dems do not want more people getting hurt.

Absolutely but he isn't actually in charge of anything. Still important but he won't be a middle man between Congress personalities and Trump like Priebus.

 

[Blader]

Bannon as chief of staff would have indicated that Trump might be warring with the GoP for the better part of his run. Dems want that.

Actually, I think Democrats don't really want Bannon in the White House mainly because he ran a white nationalist website and is a wife-beating anti-Semite.

And, I'm not sure what you think "chief strategist and senior counselor to the president" means, but Bannon will still very much be a huge part of the administration. So he's not exactly dodging any criticism on this front; Bannon will still be there.

 

[Toxi]

Now keep that fucker Christie away from Attorney General and I can sleep easier.

When Jeff Sessions and Rudy Giulliani are the other options, Christie looks like a saint.

 

[DudeWithNoName]

Giuliani is a little better. Not much, but better.Christie is downright awful in all respects.

 

[Ashby]

Christie is inarguably the least insane/hateful person in Trump's inner circle. Yes, this is how dire things have gotten.

 

[DrArchon]

It's incredibly sad that Priebus of all people can be called the lesser of two evils, but almost anyone was a better pick than Steve Bannon.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Giuliani is a little better. Not much, but better.Christie is downright awful in all respects.

I mean, both are awful, but I still beg to differ.

 

[Blader]

I despise Christie, but he's the closest thing to a remotely moderating influence in this fucking cesspool. Giuliani is just a crazed racist, though he does fit with the running theme of a Trump administration.

To Christie's credit, he doesn't have a history of promoting stop and frisk to the absolute detriment of minorities in his tenure like Giuliani.

Yeah, I'll take Christie over Rudy. Not even a contest.

 

[Trouble]

DRAIN, BABY, DRAIN!

Yep. Both are bad but Giuliani is scarier imo.
