Now Priebus and Tillerson Are Feuding
February 15, 2017 By Taegan Goddard
Wall Street Journal: Many of the U.S. ambassadorships remain unfilled, a result of a standoff between Mr. Tillerson and Mr. Priebus, the chief of staff, said people familiar with the process.
Mr. Trump had told Mr. Tillerson he would have a say in appointing some key ambassadorships, including Canada and Switzerland, those people said. Mr. Priebus subsequently got the president to approve names for those positionsincluding several top donors to the RNCwithout consulting the secretary of state, which angered Mr. Tillerson.
The infighting has sown growing insecurity among Mr. Priebus and his top aides.

I doubt it. Compared to the GOP, cockroaches are probably loving, dutiful parents.
