Good news for Donald Trump. There’s at least one guy out there who thinks you’ve got tonight’s debate in the bag: Illustrious RNC Chair Reince Priebus.
Check out Priebus’ airtight case for a Trump victory:
Essentially, Reince Priebus just said Trump is prepped for tonight because of the season finales of The Apprentice.

It’s pretty amazing. Just when you think we’ve reached peak stupid, it turns out there’s still a lot higher to climb.
.@Reince literally just compared the presidential debate to the season finales of The Apprentice on @CNN. That is all.

@Reince just assured @wolfblitzer that #Trump is prepared for the debates. "After all, he's been through 14 season finales." SERIOUSLY??

Is Donald Trump prepared if he didn't do mock debates? @Reince tells @WolfBlitzer that Trump has been through 14 season finales. … ??? !!!

@Reince just said that Trump is prepared because (along w/studying up on facts) he's done lots of "season finales". Good God. @SMShow

Is this for real? If @Reince actually said that, the guy is actually dumber than anybody could imagine.

We could use a little Bailey’s ourselves right now, if we’re being honest.

Reince Priebus: Trump's prepared bc he's done 14 Season Finales. So maybe he should debate The Bachelorette instead?

.@Reince says that Trump is prepared for tonight because he's done 14 season finales. The Simpsons have done 28. #HomerforPrez #Debates

"Season finales"– takes, retakes, stopping shooting when he wants–exactly like a presidential debate. Give him an Emmy.and let him go home https://t.co/Dur10UU1lW

You can go home, too, Reince.
