Six years ago, a humble party hack from Kenosha, Wisconsin, took on the thankless job of turning around the Republican Party. As he exits the White Housebattered, bruised, and humiliatedReince Priebus argues he accomplished just what he set out to do.
We won, Priebus told me in an interview. Winning is what we were supposed to do, and we won. Thats the job of the Republican Party. Its in the best shape its been in since 1928.
The former White House chief of staff and Republican National Committee chairman said he was proud of his stewardship of the GOP, which culminated in the election of a Republican president, Republican Congress, and Republican gains up and down the ballot.
But the White House is mired in chaos, and all that Republican power has yet to result in a single major policy achievement. Priebuss critics view him as the man who sold his party out to Donald Trump. Was it really worth it, I asked?
Its absolutely worth it, Priebus said, pointing to the nomination of a conservative Supreme Court justice, regulatory reform, and a healthy economy, though he acknowledged health care remained an obstacle. The president has accomplished an incredible amount of things in the last six months, he added. The future can be great, and the past has been pretty good.

Can single payer be far behind. They intended to destroy the "free market" healthcare-but it looks as though Reince has led us to the threshold of the dreaded "socialized medicine".
So many Trump voters seem to be eager for more healthcare!
