Oct 6, 2014: AIM: MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Unemployment Report: “We Have Two Americas” [Video]
I’m not echoing Reince Priebus, because he is obviously partisan and that’s his job, but if you look at The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Financial Times, all the reporting on the jobs data from Friday reported that participation rate is at historic lows, decade lows. 59% are involved in the labor force. That’s just not a sustainable recovery. We have two Americas. We really do.

July 10, 2014: Z-News Notes: Reince Priebus: Shorter Primary Season & Less Debates Edition
"We've got a rule in our party that says that all of our primaries have to be completed within 45 days of the start of the convention. So if you imagine a slide rule, I'm moving the convention forward, but I'm also moving the deadline by which all the primaries have to be complete.....................we're going to have somewhere south of 10 (debates)… and my guess is we're going to work with all of these media companies and outlets in helping decide who the partners will be, who the moderators will be.

Obamacare turns four this Sunday, and it's never looked worse. For months, the news has not been kind. A broken promise, a broken website. Lost plans, lost doctors. Rising prices, rising frustration. Shrinking paychecks, a shrinking workforce. Unsecure data, insecure Democrats.

MSNBC President Phil Griffin issued a statement saying the staffer responsible for the Wednesday night tweet had been fired.

Apr 3, 2013: David Weigel: Slate: Reince Priebus Wants the Media to Rebrand Planned Parenthood, Please
As chairman of the RNC, Priebus inherited a $23 million debt from his predecessor Michael Steele, as well as severely strained relationships with "major donors". By the end of 2011, however, Priebus had raised more than $50 million and cut the RNC's debt to $11.8 million. Former RNC chairman Ed Gillespie described his work in glowing terms: "He's completely restored faith at the RNC amongst donors and activists, he's been on message and he has done a great job raising money, which is the principal role of the RNC chairman." During the 2012 State of the Union Address and Presidential primary of 2012, Priebus and his RNC team were credited with keeping the focus on President Barack Obama. Despite such focus, President Obama won re-election by soundly defeating his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, by an electoral college voting margin of 332 to 206 (while the popular vote margin was four percent). Priebus has been actively engaged in pointing out what he considers errors and shortcomings in the work of President Obama and Democratic leaders. In 2012 Priebus appeared on such political talk shows as Meet the Press, Face the Nation, Fox News Sunday, and State of the Union with Candy Crowley
