Priebus has been a [[RINO Backer]] who was elected to be the [[Republican National Committee]] chairman in 2011, and then led the Republican Party to one of its worst performances in history: instead of winning the Senate as expected, the Republican Party lost seats there, and an incumbent Democrat was reelected president despite high unemployment.

Priebus reportedly had a role in promoting [[Neil Gorsuch]] to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]], and Priebus may have assured Trump that Gorsuch would be confirmed by the Senate.  Instead, the [[Dem]]s [[filibuster]]ed Gorsuch, and [[Mitch McConnell]] resorted to the [[nuclear option]] to change the Senate rules and forever end the filibuster rule in the [[U.S. Senate]] for judicial nominations.  This wasted all of the [[political capital]] of the Republican Party and left the [[Dem]]s more determined to block future legislation.  The misguided nomination and confirmation eroded Trump's base and empowered [[liberal]] [[Republican]]s in the Senate to stonewall and oppose Trump on virtually every new issue. After resigning as Chief of Staff, Priebus called Gorsuch's nomination his best accomplishment during his tenure.<ref>Bowden, John (July 29, 2017).
