 @brianbeutler  Probably thinks he is pretty smart, if he remain unpublished, the rest us might not catch on.
he says:
""
To combat that, he has laid out a list of eleven "Principles for American Renewal." Most of these will be familiar to students of Republican politics. Some contradict each other, or previous iterations of the Republican agenda. The first principle holds that "Our Constitution should be preserved, valued and honored," while the third proposes a Constitutional amendment that would force Congress to shred government spending. The eleventh calls for a secure border, whereas the GOP's 2012 post-mortem called for comprehensive immigration reform.
But the main problem is that Priebus isn't on the ballot anywhere. The implication is that he's speaking on behalf of his candidates, but in recent weeks the GOP has worked assiduously to orient those campaigns around trivia. Some of these efforts have been more effective than others, but the playbook has been remarkably consistent. As a counterpose to Priebus's 11 principles, below are five of the most trivial stories Republicans have seized on in order to define campaigns around issues other than, well, issues.""
1. Amending the constitution is Constitutional.
2. Controlling the border, is not anti Immigration
3. controlling spending is a duty of congress.
4. not being consistent with a previous political statement is normal
5. Priebus had his election, he is the elected representative of the republican party, not that it is your business.
Priebus 11 items are the issues. Trivia is trivia. Some trivia points to larger issues. As explained other places, when your enemy is self destructing, stay out of the way. If the Dems don't like it, they could take issue with the issues.
