Bummer. It looks like my friend Ann Wagner, a true conservative despite those horrible immigration rumors, is done. If Reince “Lets execute Obama” Priebus wins, the RNC is in big trouble.
Ann Wagner drops. So sad. We do love her in Missouri.

3 candidates left
One RINO CINO- an Obamacare lobbyist and “former” abortion supporter
One Who is Steele-lite.
One who is conservative choice- Anuzi.

Oops… Again.
Reince “Let’s Execute Obama” Priebus Wins!
