Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said the GOP has a problem with its branding.
Some might suggest it's the brand that has issues.
The night before a comprehensive report was released by a blue ribbon task force about why the party lost the presidential election last year, Priebus revealed some of the report's highlights to CBS' Bob Schieffer on Face The Nation. These included reducing the number of televised debates, and moving the date of the RNC from late August to July or June.
"I believe that our primary process is way too long," Priebus said. "I think our calendar needs to be looked at. I think our debate calendar needs to be shrunk. I think we had way too many debates, with our candidates slicing and dicing each other and I think they had way too long to get to the convention. I'm calling for a convention in June or July. We're going to set up a commission that's going to make that decision … but no more August conventions."
