Priebus: Never Trump candidiates may not be allowed to run again
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/09/...-says.html
Quote:Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Sunday suggested he could say “never mind” to the “Never Trump” candidates should they try to make another run for the presidency.
Priebus said the former primary challengers who’ve refused to support Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump could face consequences if they fail to back Trump in the stretch-run to Election Day.
“Those people need to get on board,” Priebus told “Face the Nation.” “And if they’re thinking they’re going to run again some day, I think that we’re going to evaluate the process – of the nomination process and I don’t think it’s going to be that easy for them.”
Quote:“People in our party are talking about what we’re going to do about this,” Priebus said. “I mean there’s a ballot access issue in South Carolina. In order to be on the ballot in South Carolina, you actually have to pledge your support to the nominee, no matter who that person is. So what’s the penalty for that? It’s not a threat, but that’s just the question that we have a process in place.
“And if a private entity puts forward a process and has agreement with the participants in that process, and those participants don’t follow through with the promises that they made in that process, what -- what should a private party do about that if those same people come around in four or eight years?”

35 years of age, a resident "within the United States" for 14 years, and a "natural born citizen".

Those are requirements for running for President. Running for President as the Republican nominee has additional requirements.

Priebus: Never Trump candidiates may not be allowed to run again
The GOP must find a way to reach Hispanic voters in 2020 and beyond. Assuming Trump runs for re-election, the GOP needs a candidate like Marco Rubio in 2024.

A trifle premature to be making that assumption.

Well then we should kick Trump off the ballot since he's a life long Democrat. And, of course, Reagan would never have been allowed to run. 2/3 of the Republicans in Georgia wouldn't be allowed (not necessarily a bad idea with them).
I think the only party hacks dumber than Priebus are the ones Hillary picked to run the DNC.

Who does this guy think he is?... Now engaging in blackmail to get support for his dick of a candidate? My guess? He is the one that is going to have problems when this mess explodes in his lap.

Not if he loses. In that case, anyone who distanced themselves from Trump will be in a prime spot to move up the Republican latter.

Yep. If they want any other qualifications beyond the Constitutional ones, I can't think of a more important one than YOU CAN'T BE A ******* DEMOCRAT.
