I'm alright with Priebus.  He stayed with Trump when the rest of the Republican establishment was knocking each other over in an attempt to 'get off the sinking ship' that they thought that the Trump campaign had become.  Priebus was loyal to Trump.  The President-Elect rewards loyalty like that.  If it wasn't for Priebus, the Republican Party would have split, and we'd be looking at Madam President right now.

^^ This and second H5 of the day,between him and Kellyanne Conway  :heart: he was sunk.

I would prefer her as Chief of Staff and him as Press Secretary though.

McConnell HAS to make this happen.  If he doesn't... the Senate is going to be in complete gridlock over everything from SCOTUS changes, to any legislation that needs to pass.  Will ending the Filibuster, require a Filibuster proof vote of 60, or is this something more like a rules change that McConnell can change w/o a vote?

Simple majority vote can change the filibuster rule.  But, there are very good reasons the filibuster was instituted that must be considered.  O'bungle care can be killed with reconciliation and the filibuster could be eliminated for very specific cases such as confirmation of judges as dusty harry already did.

racist – A statement of surrender during an argument. When two people or disputants are engaged in an acrimonious debate, the side that first says “Racist!” has conceded defeat. Synonymous with saying “Resign” during a chess game, or “Uncle” during a schoolyard fight. Ori
