New Twist on Old Cliche He Said, He Said; I Didn’t Say, He Did; No, He Did,Not Me

Simple Fact

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus told Donald Trump in a phone call last week that if he doesn’t turn his flailing campaign around, the national party may shift its focus from his candidacy to down-ballot races, according to two GOP officials briefed on the exchange.

The officials said Priebus described to Trump internal party polls that show his campaign headed in the wrong direction.

Priebus told Trump that he would have been better off had he spent the days since the Republican convention at his Mar-a-Lago Club, officials said. Trump denied the officials’ account of the exchange.

Then in true SOP Trump-fashion, he denied the account of exchange between the two, adding: “Reince Priebus is a terrific guy. He never said that.”

Trump also said that the Republican Party should be grateful for his recent fundraising saying: “Why would they state that when I am raising millions of dollars for them?”

Chairman Priebus could not be reached for comment.


Trump recently also said: “If I lose I’ll take a long vacation (sic).” I suggest he start now.

BTW: Down-ballot loses for the GOP this cycle seems very likely and could be massive. Why?

First, due to the head of the ticket: Trump. Second, the voters I believe are sick and tired of this divided, stalemated, and “do nothing” GOP-run congress. We shall see for sure, this is an historical election.
