DKos: Stand back, Republican chair Reince Priebus is about to give Donald Trump a stern talking-to

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2015/12/8/1458174/-Stand-back-Republican-chair-Reince-Priebus-is-about-to-give-Donald-Trump-a-stern-talking-to

It took Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus a bit to come up with a response to Donald Trump's Constitution-punching notion that we should bar all Muslims from entering America, even American Muslims traveling abroad. But Reince Priebus is ostensibly in charge of keeping the Republican Party respectable-looking—no matter how many candidates tear the drapes and vomit on the sofas, so he's got to come out against this thing that would quite clearly be un-Constitutional and has people throwing around words like fascism. Give him hell, Reince:

"I don't agree," Priebus said.

Take that! Have at you, Donald Trump, and so forth. Not often does Priebus lambast a fellow Republican with such blunt talk.

"We need to aggressively take on radical Islamic terrorism but not at the expense of our American values."

...snip...

I don't know if Donald Trump can recover from such strong language. He has been officially not agreed with on the racist, xenophobic, not-Constitutional, government-required religious test idea.
