Thanks Reince. Your objectivity and legal acumen are above reproach. I fully accept everything youāve done, thought, or said since you arrived from the mother ship.

Well, look at it from Reinceās POVāheās desperate to get somebody, anybody, who will be a legit challenger to Trump, and at this point Cruz is the only one.
The problem is that Cruz is every bit as loathsome to many Republicans as Trump is. Sucks to be you, Reince.

my knee jerk
Between his churning gut and this rogue knee I donāt see how he can stand still long enough for a TV interviewā¦
This little guy has absolutely no credibility in either partyā¦ but he still goes on the air to give his opinions. Somebody send him out on a Dunkinsā run, willya? Make him useful for something.

I always look to Constitutional scholar Rancid Pubics for my legal consultations.

I asked my dog what her opinion was about this and she barked in agreement with Reince. Therefore, Iām satisfied that what Reince said was indeed his opinion.
Since when does the RNC chair hold any weight in legal matters? Did he get appointed to the SCOTUS and I missed it?

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus affirmed Thursday that he believed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was eligible to run for President.
Well! All righty then. One less thing to worry about.

Cold, clammy facts:
-
Itās not āReinceā, anymore than it was actually āMittā, āDubyaā, āDutchā or āIkeā. His birth name is Reinhold Richard Priebus. As icky as I find him, Iām inclined to sympathy for anyone saddled by typically unprescient parents with an unattractive birth name - tho Iām just as underwhelmed with the choice of nickname that he made or was made for him. Itās certainly clammy enough to fit his visual impression of being a modern Uriah Heep (Dickens, not Mick Boxā Stalkers ā¦ altho āstalkersā seems not entirely off the mark).
-
He actually has a J.D. from U of Miami LS, which, AFAIK, like most accredited American law schools, requires at least the basic course in U.S. Constitutional Law be taken before granting its JDās.
Incidentally, early on in his brief career as a practicing attorney in Wisconsin, Priebus was named as some sort of ārising starā among Wisconsin Super Lawyers. Those sorts of lists are generally made up of a mix of young courtroom lions, legal beagle whiz kidz, establishment hopefuls, young grifters, beneficiaries of the waving of affinity or cash, and political activist types, whether within the context of bar politics or general public election politics.
I canāt say Iām totally knowledgeable on why Priebus made that list, but Iām reasonably sure it wasnāt by either of the first two routes.

Reince Priebus ā¦ I forget ā¦ what official governmental position of authority does he hold? Oh thatās right ā¦ none!
How can the Republicans seriously consider a nominee not born in this country? John McCain was different. This is really strange for a group of people who have such a strict interpretation of the Constitution.

Reince Priebus really thinks he can sell a non-native son to his base?
