Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus swears his job is fun. So fun, in fact, that he says he doesn't even need to drink at breakfast to make it bearable. "People assume oh, are you — you must be miserable. You've got a horrible job. But I don't see it that way," Priebus said in an interview with CNN Wednesday in response to a question about how it felt to be leading the system that the Republican Party's very own presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has repeatedly slammed as "rigged."
"I'm not pouring Baileys in my cereal, I'm not sitting here trying to find a Johnnie Walker," Priebus insisted. "This is fun." Are you jealous of how much "fun" he's having yet?
