In confidential conversations with friends and associates, it has been reported that Reince Priebus, the RNC Chairman, a die-hard supporter of the presidential candidate, Donald Trump, is “deeply shaken” by the events that have unfolded over the last few weeks.
The rifts within the Republican party and watching years of organizational work being undone by the candidate has begun to cause Priebus sleepless nights according to a confidential source.
Financiers of the right wing constituents have started to quickly drop out and withdraw any further support for Trump, causing many more Republicans to sincerely question the choices of both their party and their Chairman. William E. Oberndorf, a California investor who has given more than three million dollars to Republicans, stated:
“The R.N.C. long ago should have cut ties with Donald Trump. Reince should be fired and replaced with someone who has the competence and leadership skills to rebuild the R.N.C.”
Even Priebus’ longtime associates and fellow Wisconsin natives are questioning his judgment. Charlie Sykes, a conservative radio host out of Milwaukee, talked about Priebus saying:
“Reince Priebus has to ask, how much of his soul does he want to sell for Donald Trump at this point?”
Though the committee has encouraged donors to continue funding the party regardless of Trump’s inability to successfully represent the Republican party, stressing that control of the Supreme Court is vital. However, many have dropped out and turned their support to Libertarian presidential candidate, Gary Johnson.
Even without the backing of some of the largest donors, Priebus still has the support of 168 members of the National Committee. Rosie Tripp, the Republican committeewoman from New Mexico, stated:
“He is our candidate. I am dismayed by our own Republicans who are bailing like rats off a ship. He who is without sin can cast the first stone. I am sure they are not as pure as the driven snow, either.”
Priebus has refused to comment on the release of information about his concerns for Trump. As time passes, though, we can expect more and more Republicans to back away from Trump and turn their attention towards other candidates.
