who ends up over by the rnc running that branch. so there's stale lot of dominos thatave to fall into place here setting aside, again, the cabinet and the administration positions that are yet to be filled in. we expect movement on those soon. >> we have to be talking to the trump children i'm guessing to get a better insight as potentially some of our sources for that. thank you so much. hallie jackson, i know off busy night ahead. >> got to run for "nightly news." >> thanks, hallie. >> thanks, rism archard. reince priebus announced as the next chief of staff for president-elect donald trump. i want to bring back our panel who has been patiently with us bringing out this breaking news. thanks for being here. sara, reince priebus, you know him well. the question is he's chief of staff. i was going to talk with hallie about this. chief of staff really the gatekeeper. who does the president talk to? what are the topics -- the pieces of paper that will be sit in fromt of the president to consider each and every day testimony what sort

the rnc has denied any undoing.ritics said the gop targeted minority voters by deploying our ballot security guards at polling places in minority neighborhoods. federal judge john vasquez pointed to a claim in august by governor mike pence. >> the trump campaign in the company worked closely with state governments all over the country to ensure integrity. >> the attorney for the rnc says he heard this poker was mistaken adding there was no wrong doing because the rnc is the body that this consent decree that they're so coordination with the trump campaign on the ballot security. john carbone says pr is he is not breaking the law. >> there have been no finding in the last 27 years have been a violation of the national committee. they train their staffers and stay people. they caution. they prohibit people from doing things and ensure it doesn't happen again. >> the rnc telling members not to poll watch. contact voters or tell voters that voter fraud is a crime scene at does not want to consent violated. lauren and ni

he's selected rnc chair reince priebus as his chief of staff. cnn's chief political correspondent dana bash is joining us on the phone. also with us, cnn's chris frates joining us from washington. so first to you, dana. what more are you hearing about why reince priebus and what is the hope as chief of staff? >> reporter: hi, there, fred. first of all, sources tell myself and jim acosta that this is the decision that mr. trump, president-elect trump has settled on and that this is something that he obviously feels the most comfortable with at this point. and you know, on its face, you might say, well, why would somebody who was elected as the ultimate outsider choose somebody who has, you know, been a party leader? i mean, he was leader of the party. he was elected by a national committee and then usually by the establishment. and the answer is -- several answers, but one of them is that the two of them have gotten to know each other quite well, particularly during the general election. and even, and especially in the winning weeks of the campai

the combined rnc trump operation is 6,012.ow, i went to public school growing up, but that seems like a pretty growth in the ground game. voter contacts between rnc romney in 201211 million. voter contacts we'll make with the trump campaign 17 million. at the end of the day, the problem is that the political intelligence, whomever you're talking to, don't want to look at the facts. we have a much exponentially larger staff on the ground, we have a much larger voter contact program and we have the best data operation of either party. so i think the problem is that people have this view of how things are supposed to work. at the end of the day, it doesn't matter who knocks on your door f they're knocking on your door saying tell me who you're going to vote for, what are the issues that are important to you are you voting for marco rubio, patrick murphy in florida. we're putting that into the app and bringing that back and feeding it back out to every candidate up and down the ballot, that's the best program that can happen to ex

>> the rnc should be commended for. i was talking to their chief of staff the other day katy walsh who headed up this work and they invested $75 million in improving upon the infrastructure from 2012. the investments happen there. one of the big problems or the challenges that we'll have from here to election day is that while the rnc has built an incredible infrastructure usually what happens is that the rnc will marry that with the campaign infrastructure that the candidate has built through the primary process and through the summer months. donald trump hasn't done that. what he has done is essentially outsource his organization to the rnc. so, you know, the difference is dan will tell you having a dnc and a clinton organization that both built very impressive infrastructureses the rnc's impressive infrastructure but not much of one from trump that does provide a bit of an advantage. >> so, you -- does that cause you concern today, four days out? >> it does. but one of the things that's happened in the last few days

i am sean spicer with the rnc. i want to introduce the panel today. to my right, your left his causeway solutions that will talk about our data operation, chris carr our political director, katie walsh our chief of staff and garrett lansing, our chief schedule officer. today the goal is to do two things. one, talk broadly about where we are is a party after tuesday's election, and secondly, and also as important, talk about about how we got here and what we did is a party and the investments the chairman has made to make us win up-and-down the ticket. it was interesting, to those of you who are watching the morning show this morning, howard dean was on and he was talking about where their party is after the election and said, what the dnc is about is mechanics. it's it's about being everywhere, training people, having an adequate tech system which we no longer have. mechanics matter. you have to have all the ideals in the program you want and i totally agreeç with what former congressman harold slow was saying. if you don't do mechanics on the ground

one of the ways they did it is they worked with the rnc and they recognized that the rnc has built a ground game of data operation and that was reince priebus' part and they came together as a team and worked together. if you think about it president-elect trump's first decision what he's saying is i had a great team, i don't want to pick and choose, i want to keep everybody, and so here's a role for the top two people on my team in my administration. i think that's a really good sign for his administration. >> well, help me understand this, mike, so reince priebus is part of the autopsy report 2012 before it comes out in 2013 says we need to built a bigger tent. we have to show that our values translate to you no matter your race, your religion, your economic standing, steve bannon, through breitbart, has a very different agenda. they see diversity as a tool of the left. and there's a lot of division, and the politics are almost by definition antithetical to a big tent. how do you reconcile those two things? >> well, the way you reconcile them is that both of them now work for presi

i'm joined by rnc chairman reince preibus. first, mr. chairman, congratulations, because as many people know, trump doesn't win without the rnc. >> well, we don't win without a great candidate like president-elect donald trump, so you need both things. you need a great candidate, a historical candidate, someone who has energized the country. even a lot of democrats came out and voted for him as well. that's always the first ingredient is a great candidate. we had one, and what he did was historic. >> he obviously ran hard against washington and said how rigged it is. today washington embraced him. how does he square that? >> well, i think you saw it setting on wednesday morning when he gave his speech at 2:30 in the morning. i can tell you he wrote that speech. and he decided that we're not going to continue -- this is not a continuation of the campaign speech, this is bringing america together, calming the waters, selling america. i'm going to be your president no matter what your political background is, no matter what your religion fa

thank you to the rnc, thank you to all of the staff. intendedairman pirebus to be here, but he is in other locations speaking to the press and continuing the job. is nothings -- there like having good candidates. you cannot take away from the fact that republicans maintain the majority in the u.s. senate because of their superior candidates. one by one, they ran on their records, the way they were able to respond to their constituents. we won our victory in part because we had very good candidates. baker -- off to war to ward baker. thanks for acknowledging our staff and great team. we put together a path two years ago to raise the necessary funds, $150 million total at the 2c over -- the nrsc over a year period. we wanted to train campaign managers, avoid costly primaries. we wound up with the nominees that were needed. that is a credit also to our staff. my hat also goes off to our majority leader mitch mcconnell. it's not quite totally understood the fact that after we gained the majority two years ago, we went to work. we had 10 tim

. >> priebus, the rnc chair was involved in the campaign. once donald trump became the parties nominee and you saw steve bannon joined. you know what i think is notable from the sound that you just played from house speaker paul ryan, he says he has talked everyday since the election. that's not something we saw during the campaign itself. paul ryan and donald trump, the president elect trump did not have that close relationship but there seems to be some sense that the two of them will need to work together closely, not leaving it to vice president elect, mike pence. >> there is been an rnc meeting going on until just a few moment ago. our own kasie hunt was there, what happened? >> reporter: hey stef, the rnc is taking a victory lapse, i have to tell you, giving an in-depth presentation, focusing on how they approach this election cycle from a data perspective. again, the vote perspective, we tried to take the model that president obama used in 2008 and 2012 and apply it this time in 2016. they talked a little about the millions they inves

so who are the lawyers representing the rnc? >> the rnc has their lawyers.: they better get some new ones. >> the federal judge is going to allow the dnc to probe into the trump campaign on election day. this is what the left does, they litigate to death. lou: this is a statement of fact. first of all think would have to make some judgment there is such a plan. >> the court ordered the rnc has 48 hours to produce all of these documents. lou: or what? >> the dnc believes jim crow is riding the country to try to intimidate minorities. lou: let m let me slow down fora minute. the dnc just had to re-place their top three officials because they were crooked. they found out the interim director was crooked. she just fed questions to their candidate who is crooked because she took the questions in the debate beforehand. and somehow the rnc is explaining itself in what kind of lawyers, what kinds of judge are we talking about? >> you are talking about an obama appointee, i can tell you that much. lou: what happens next? >> this is part of a nationwide strategy to al

what evidence do you have that rnc is behind this?>> we have people that are sympathetic, and we hear from them time to time and they're very concerned about what's happening in utah. they've stuck with this flawed bigoted sexist candidate and donald trump and he's doing terribly. they're on the verge of losing their most reliable state, utah, so they're scared, and they're recerti recerti reserting to tack hicks that are variable and ugly. that's what donald trump's campaign is about, and the republican party, the rnc has stuck with them through all of this. it's someone who has voted republican my entire life until now, someone who has been a lifelong conservative, it's awful to see this happen, but it is what it is and we're standing up and we will not be intimidated. i'm not receiving death threats from white supremacists. i knew that would happen. i faced a lot worse though and we will keep fighting. >> it's interesting though that someone would think that it was a bad thing. you're not gay, but if you were, why would that be a b

martha: one of the big questions for the rnc at this point who will lead rnc now that priebus is goingo the white house? >> that is a question to be determined. rnc will meet in january as regularly scheduled. there would always be an election for chairman. there will be plenty of time for that decision to be made or candidates to be known or express themselves to the president-elect. obviously today is day here we here at rnc are proud of our boss. reince is tremendously successful. ismly meanted a vision four or five years ago to reform the party and make our data and ground game the gold standard of politics. he raised money for it. he saw the vision throughly mentation. vastly successful up and down the ticket last tuesday. martha: very good point you make. after mitt romney's loss, reince priebus stepped forward here are things we need to address. we have to bring more people into the tent. he had this sort of unconventional election that landed in his lap. to his credit i would say, he said i'm going to stick by whoever is the nominee of the party. unlike what we saw on the democ

guest: the dnc and rnc run the victory programs.cate it with the presidential campaign or you want. the 2008worked on campaign and the 2012 campaign. the onus is not entirely on the committee, but what happens is the hillary clinton campaign has been running her ground game for over a year. so you have had people and then they hired more people to continue the ground game and they came together and worked with the committee and other down ballot candidates. guest: i think one? coming out of this election is why didn't i'll try to write a one hundred million dollars? the donors are going to be frustrated. mark: stick with us because the gang of four is sticking with us. more from them after this. ♪ >> the thing that would worry me is if we didn't have the full support of the republican infrastructure. it would be too bad we win narrowly and it not because democrats for this and that was havether, because we former presidents not voting for us and former nominee's not voting for us. when you talk about growing the growing itidea was b

stated in leading the rnc and getting mr. trump to be president-elect trump. it is a serious decision of who can manage the white house and the message of the white house and personnel of the white house. and andy card, he said make sure the president eats well, sleeps well and gets the information he needs at the right time. whether it is bannon or reince priebus or somebody else on the list that we don't know, it will be somebody who will be an effective leader because mr. trump now president-elect donald trump has the expertise and experience as a business leader and finding the best talent to keep the ball moving forward. >> i know andy card. steve bannon could not be more different than andy card. he was the epitome of a washington and political insider who work ed in many, many administrations. and he knew how to get things done. some people say donald trump needs. others say he won the campaign by bomb an outsider. symone, sanders, steve bannon, because of his association with breitbart and the ads at the end of the ca

. >> what about the rnc?they seem to be so conflicted. he doesn't know what to do. >> the rnc is in a tough spot now. he is in his third term coming up. he might be going for fourth. i am not sure. you've seen a lot of turnover therein the past few years. i am not sure what will happen with trump moving forward . it's really going to be in the if he leaves i think you will see that it will probably be one of the highest profile positions for any republican to hold.carly has been talking about a lot of high profile republicans will be interested. it will be a very interesting battle.one thing with the ballot race is the trump effect on the senate will be telling. i think that's most interesting part. we haven't seen enough polling to see what will i think that's the most underreported thing in the election. the majority. >> roger, al, kim we will be democratic and republican side who is the winners and losers thus far. >> not the winners who are the losers?>> the winners and losers just the losers. >> i think ted cruz is a big loser right

the rnc and the trump campaign is more coordinated than i think people realize.just for example, i was in iowa at that republican center, and the iowa state director, eric branstad, is literally next door to the rnc director and the governor's son. they're actually working in the same offices in many places in these battleground states. and they have constant -- it's not the same as being under the same roof, but -- >> part of the benefit that the clinton folks have had is that they've had a long run-up to this. they've been accumulating data for a long time. they've been focused on this program for a long time. so, i mean, it should be -- i think it should be an advantage to them. >> my question is, number one, i think -- they have -- his people now, she got rid of her 2008 team in large part and hired the obama team, which is unique. so it's the third time for a lot of these people or the people who are teaching the new people how to experience that. my question is, i don't mean this in a bad way at all, 2008 -- >>, generally when people say that, they mean it

chairman priebus, his job was to run the rnc. and to make sure that we got the entire machine moving and he did it fantastically. the two are going to work well together. one, has a very good sensz of mr. trump's voice. exactly what he wants to do, how he wants to -- what issues he wants to take on. chairman priebus has fantastic relationships across the board. not just on both sides of capitol hill but in all of washington. he's a master tactician. and this -- i think one of the things that we're getting a little bit off track, we're talking about president-elect donald trump. it's going to be his vision. it's going to be his policies. that's where the focus is. he's the boss. that's where the buck stops. this is going to be his white house. and he'll be running it to serve the american people -- >> but you are who you have around you and the jekyll and hyde thing is of your own creation. not hours. bannon reached out to marion lepen. her grandmother founded the anti- -- party. bannon reaches out to someone like that to work wit

out of that we'll have rnc chair reince priebus.k him a little bit about the fbi investigation, the electoral map, trump's campaign. you know, how difficult this has been to watch some of the republican never trump pers. that has been a truffle battle. that is 9:33 eastern time. we have one segment down and many more to go. i'm going to read a little bit, if you don't mind. pat, you can get rid of 3. i don't want to get into the at&t directv thing on 3. >> mike gallagher special at berky water.com/mike. that is berky water.com or call 877-857-pure. >> mike gallagher. >> you're like me you're trying to think ahead to your next homeschool year. my wife and i love to homeschool our kids you but there are some subjects we don't feel comfortable teaching. i'm not quite up on myalgia bra 2 or quantum mechanics these days, are you. >> i'm not getting that, lance. it didn't come. i'm low on paper too. >> they even offer full k through 12 grades if you want them. parents who have homeschooled know grading, organizing lesson plans and student

. >> carl, the rnc, of course, has its own get out the vote operation.is not thought to have been on a scale as hillary clinton has. what is the thinking there about whether their operation will in the end be sufficient? >> right, there is some symmetry and overlap. it drives the republican national committee crazy when people talk about the trump campaign's organization being sort of lesser than hillary clinton's because the rnc has on the independent side offices for the down ballot candidates. the senate, the house, and state legislative and even governors. they are quite eager to talk about how great they have been doing because they have been working on it quite some time. even before the primaries they were building up that kind of freezing rain structure. that is something both shared with trump and also consumed by a lot of the other folks. the rnc and the trump campaign both have shared campaign finance coffers and most of that money has really been channeled to the down ballot candidates which is why yesterday we had the announcement that trump

the rnc is not donald trump. this is about the smartiepants elites and real human beings. >> nobody at this table. dickerson: present company included. one of the challenges of the election is the smart people think they know what is going on. donald trump is successful doing his thing. is that the story of the old fashion question of the -- of the science of politics and and all you hear that is suppose to make politics a science? maybe donald trump knows something better. >> well, if that's true?i a lotf us have to check a lot of our preconceptions at the door. here is where i don't think it's true. i think it's most important to think about what is going on. michigan and everything else. there are -- we have an election day on tuesday. in some states like michigan election day is election day. all vote on part of why they're there is there is no early vote in michigan. there is momentum tightening it could play out in michigan. he would win on election day. a lot of the other states they have been voting for w
