Trump is considering replacing Reince Priebus as Chief of Staff... [View all]

What it would mean:

Reince Priebus is the primary conduit to the Republican establishment in the House and Senate. After all, he was the Chairman of the National Republican Party before he was Chief of Staff for Donald Trump.

If he leaves, it would suggest a separation, perhaps a divorce, of Donald Trump from the national Republican Party. He would be cutting loose the last conduit to the leadership of the Republican leadership in the House and Senate. What might be the consequences?

It may make it much more difficult to pursue any legislative agenda? Also, it would take away the strongest, perhaps the only, voice between the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch, and would create even more chaos and confusion in the messages coming out of this White House.

This will be a big decision if Trump carries through.
