| RNC Chairman Reince Priebus |
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus predicted that billionaire businessman and presidential candidate Donald Trump could actually help bring voters into the GOP with his brazen rhetoric that has at times gotten him into trouble.
"It's raw and I think it's real and I think that people are upset with government, I think they're upset with both parties...Donald Trump's tapping into that," Priebus said on "CBS This Morning" Wednesday. "I actually think it could be quite good for our party because I think what you're seeing is a lot of people people that were frustrated with politics are saying, 'Well maybe I've got an outlet here.' And if they're coming and tuning into our debate tomorrow night and getting involved in our party I think that that ultimately could be very helpful."
Last month, Priebus called Trump to say he should soften his controversialcomments that Mexican immigrants were rapists and criminals, which Trump refused to do. Other Republican candidates have condemned his remarks in the past, with former Texas Gov. Rick Perry calling Trump's entire presidential bid a "cancer on conservatism." Jeb Bush said there should be "no tolerance" for his views on immigrants.
