In the event of a Trump loss, the Republican Party is going to have to clean house at the top levels. (In the event of a Trump win, there will probably also be a purging at the winner’s discretion, because nothing consolidates power like winning.) But if Trump loses, it will signal the need for a complete overhaul from the top down. That means Reince Priebus will be out of a job, and I don’t think anyone will be sorry to see him go.

And if that happens, Carly Fiorina is starting to position herself to be elected as the next chair of the RNC.

Carly Fiorina’s quiet outreach to state party chairs in recent days has top Republicans speculating that she’s laying the groundwork for a Republican National Committee chairmanship bid.

Fiorina’s advisers have reached out to more than a dozen state parties telling them that the former GOP presidential hopeful is prepared to help in “any way,” offering up her personal phone number, and informing them that she would like to connect with their respective state party chairperson.
