"It’s also one of the most qualified and diverse crowds in years ..." Excuuuuuse us? "Most qualified"??? What is your standard for "qualified"?

COMMENTS:
*  Reince is being a little dramatic.  The Republicans are doomed because of their outdated policies it has nothing to do with the current race for the white House. If the Federal Government forces the Various States to balance the District Boundries they will also lose the House Majority.  In the Last election they lost the National Vote by a very large percentage YET they gained seats in the House. This is due to the Gerrymandering of House seat Districts in each State. In Florida the Republicans lost the Vote for the White House and gained Republican seats in the House. Now the Republican Government in Florida can't even agree on a NEW District Map.  YEP Gerrymandering.
*  Reince Priebus ... without the vowels ... that's: RNC PR BS.  Republican National Committee Public Relations Bull Sh!t.  Clearly, his parents were psychic or something.
*  This sounds like a declaration that they intend to do every trick…cheat…lie so that they "win".  We need to be watching their moves VERY carefully.
*  The Republicult never likes to tell the ENTIRE TRUTH.
*  Are you worried about voter machine tampering, etc. I am very worried about tampering, voter suppression, etc.  I don't put anything past a party who is so desperate to win, and have the means and the access to pull this off.
*  Why is Reince Priebus still in his job?  You would think by now that the Tea Baggers would have offered him up in sacrifice to the religious right!

GOP chair: We’re ‘cooked’ if we lose the White House
By Jane C. Timm, October 16, 2015

The Republican Party will be ruined if one of their candidates can’t win the White House in 2016, the chairman of the party admitted Friday morning.

“I do think that we’re cooked as a party for quite a while as a party if we don’t win in 2016. So I do think that it’s going to be hard to dig out of something like that,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus told the Washington Examiner. ”I don’t anticipate that,” he added. “I think … history is on our side.”

The GOP is fielding its most crowded primary in years, with fifteen candidates still running for president after two dropped out. It’s also one of the most qualified and diverse crowds in years, with seven former or current governors, five former or current senators, and three political outsiders all mounting campaigns.

But with so many candidates, voters’ loyalties are divided: The billionaire businessman Donald Trump leads the polls and a retired neurosurgeon with a history of inflammatory statements, Dr. Ben Carson, trails close behind him, but the party is far from unifying behind either one.

The Republican National Committee works to elect Republican candidates for all national offices, including in the House and Senate, but Priebus – who led the party through the last failed election – said losing the White House for a third time would do serious damage to the party’s national standing.

“I think that we have become, unfortunately, a midterm party that doesn’t lose and a presidential party that’s had a really hard time winning,” Priebus said. “We’re seeing more and more that if you don’t hold the White House, it’s very difficult to govern in this country – especially in Washington, D.C.”
