RNC’s Priebus Hopes Tonight’s Debate Will Be More PG-Rated Than the Last One

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said on CNN tonight he hopes tonight’s Republican debate is more PG-reated than the last one. You know, the one where Donald Trump bragged about the size of his… Trump Tower.

CNN’s Erin Burnett brought up how “embarrassed” others were about the tone of the Fox News debate last week and said, “You cringe, you laugh, it’s mortifying in many ways.”

Priebus assured that all the candidates understand it was “probably not the best picture” and expressed hope for “a PG or a G rating here tonight.” And he seemed overly confident all the candidates understand this.

For the record, when Trump was asked days ago about his language, he mocked people’s concerns as a sign of political correctness.
