I am incredibly humbled and honored to have the opportunity to serve as RNC Chairman for a third term.
— Reince Priebus (@Reince) January 16, 2015
The Republican National Committee has reelected (an uncontested) Reince Priebus this afternoon as its chairman in a near-unanimous vote. This marks Priebus’ third term, giving broadcast journalists several more years to learn how to pronounce his name. (Bob Beckel especially has come up with some particularly colorful variants.)
Reince Priebus reelected RNC chairman with loud applause and standing ovation. He ran unopposed for third term.

Reince Priebus reelected RNC Chair, 166-2. Getting the 2 dissenting votes? That orange squirrel. http://t.co/j6GHrvU0tV

Is that squirrel still around?
.@Reince says Dems have "one candidate ready to crown herself and a sitting VP who's been running for prez since before I could vote."

Conservatives on Twitter haven’t been this excited since Rep. John Boehner was reelected House Speaker.

@GOP @Reince Another GOP historic failure?

@GOP @ConservativeBro The party continues to be tone deaf.

Congratulations were the order of the day, though, for some high-profile names we expect to hear more from in 2015.

One sore spot to emerge from the RNC’s winter meeting: the choice of networks for the nine proposed presidential primary debates. ABC will host one, and CNN up to three.
@Reince Why would you give a debate to ABC?
— gary peterson (@gp302324) January 16, 2015
@GOP @Reince Reice, WHY oh WHY would you let ABC host a debate? ONLY Fox should-they all rail roaded Romney last time around-Sweet Jesus

ABC refuses to cover Gruber's comments for six weeks. @Reince rewards them with hosting a debate.

@redsteeze @Reince Hobbit @GStephanopoulos started 'War on Women' narrative w/ ridiculous debate ? to Romney on states banning contraception
— Jay Legend (@JayBelize23) January 16, 2015
@redsteeze So @Reince let's ABC ask the questions, frame the debate, then edit the answers to make them as damaging as possible. Smart move.
— M. Amsterdam (@emmdee22) January 16, 2015
Really @GOP @Reince? You're going to let @CNN host 3 debates after what @crowleyCNN pulled in last Obama/Romney debate? You never learn do u

@NolteNC Inexplicably foolish-moronic to reward CNN with a debate. They must be laughing their @** off as they get ready for that. @Reince

Probably the most genuine tweet of the day comes from Juan William’s son Raffi, who will continue to serve as the GOP’s deputy press secretary.
I still have my job! @Reince was re-elected
