Reince tries to reason The Donald out of a potential third-party candidacy—good luck with that!

Don't worry—one day we'll all be able to laugh about this.

RNC chair Reince Priebus is desperately trying to rein in Donald Trump on the notion of running independently in 2016 if he doesn't like how he's "being treated by Republicans." Nick Gass has Reince's latest:

“Certainly, I think our candidates should pledge not to run as a third-party candidate. I don’t see that happening. I think everyone understands that if Hillary Clinton’s going to get beat, she’s going to get beat by a Republican. And most people that run for president run to win, and if our candidates want to win, then they’ll have to run as a Republican,” Priebus told NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie in a Monday interview on “Today.”

“I don’t fear that, and I think you’ve even seen Donald Trump walk that back over the last few days as well,” he added, praising his party’s “varsity squad” of 16 candidates.

Hahahahaha. Good one, Reince!

The Donald is Reince's worst nightmare—one big giant GOP wrecking ball topped off by a toupee bow. Oh, and Reince also assured Guthrie that Trump isn't hurting the GOP brand.

Just stop, Reince—you're killing us over here at DKos.
