Ex-Trump chief of staff Priebus mulling Wisconsin governor bid

ormer White House chief of staff Reince Priebus is considering a run for governor of Wisconsin in 2022.

A source familiar with Priebus’s thinking confirmed to The Hill on Friday that Priebus had begun conversations with top Wisconsin Republicans about the prospects of challenging Gov. Tony Evers (D) next year. The source characterized the conversations as preliminary.

Politico first reported Priebus was considering the race.

Priebus got his start in GOP politics as the chairman of a congressional district organization. He later became chairman of the Wisconsin state Republican Party, then won election as chairman of the Republican National Committee. After Donald Trump won the presidency, Priebus became his first White House chief of staff.

If he plans to slither out from under his slimy rock, we need to find a viable Democratic candidate asap.

Priebus must be so deluded that he doesn't realize that he has a huge bull's eye on him.

Hey, Reince! Remember that guy you helped to get elected then you were his CoS? Yeah, he's gonna hang around your neck like a millstone.

As a cheesehead, I must say that Wisconsin politics has taken some strange and ugly turns in the last ten or twelve years but if they elect Priebus, it will demonstrate that Badgers, collectively, don't learn shit.

Who Trump got rid of ASAP.
Reince was Chair of the National GOP Party ( let's have an audit of the money laundering) just before, during and just after the election of the orange emotional dwarf.
Before that, he was Chair of the Wisc GOP who got Walker into office ( Lets corrupt ACT 10 and anything else we touch) and was behind the gerrymandering of the state ( that's the ticket! -he does resemble Jon Lovitz).

No Reince. Stay in DC... I thought you joined the Navy after you quit, or fired from WH COS.
Did the Navy not like you? Too much for your old body to handle.
Are you getting one of these?

Whats up Reince? The Qanon-ians, Qanon-ites (never sure what's official) could come up with a few reasons to avoid you. Trump hates you for starters.
