GOP Chairman Warns
Against Hatred for Hillary Peaking Too Soon
24 April

In an urgent memo to
the field of G.O.P. Presidential candidates, the Republican National Committee
chairman, Reince Priebus, praised them for their relentless personal attacks on
Hillary Clinton, but warned that their hatred for the former Secretary of State
might be “peaking too early.”
Priebus called the
candidates’ ongoing evisceration of Clinton “magnificent,” but expressed his
concern that “no human beings, even an impressive group like yourselves, could
possibly sustain such a high intensity of throbbing hatred for an entire year
and a half.”
“Remember, this is a
marathon, not a sprint,” he wrote. “You need to leave some hate in the tank.”
In the conclusion of
his memo, Priebus advised the candidates to take an occasional day off from
hating Clinton so that they could “return to despising her with renewed
freshness and vigor.”
Responding to the
R.N.C. directive, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said that he understood Priebus’s
concerns, but assured him that, at the end of the day, they were groundless.
“Anyone who doesn’t think I’m capable of spewing an infinite stream of vitriol
and bile doesn’t know what I’m made of,” he said, pointing with pride to his
long record of hating President Obama.
