#1 Man is looking for competence.

(remember how the Left was daydreaming about a coup? be careful what you wish for.)

#2 This is not "business as usual". It may not be business, and it certainly ain't usual.
(Personally, I thought Priebus was the most likely leaker, what with he's RNC and all.)

#3 Point I saw brought up: If Priebus resigned THURSDAY, how did the news stay secret until late FRIDAY?

Lets stay tuned to see if the leaks slow...

#4 Haven't heard from Bannon in months. Him and Priebus were supposedly having a power struggle. Won't miss Priebus, he was a globalist.

#5 He was brought on because he marshaled elements of the GOP establishment machine to win up and down ballot campaigns. I have no idea what his executive skills are, but Chief of Staff wasn't his long suit. I think the real capper was the inability of the GOP with all the levers of power to delived core campaign legislation, things that every Republican was going to support, and instead, they have acted link the gang that couldn't shoot straight. And Priebus was unable to deliver, so his poor management skills, pliant reactions to controversy, backdoor maneuvers and lack of political juice made it time for him to go. Kelly will deliver a better managed White House. How Trump gets Ryan and McConnell to deliver is not his bailiwick

#7 How Trump gets Ryan and McConnell to deliver is not his bailiwick

Might be left up to the voters.
