 reince and wash and reince again priebus |

Well Trumpers this is not starting too well for the conservative cause you say Trump espouses.
Reince Priebus....hmmm... Chief of Staff...hmmm
I listened to Rush today...wow can't get that hour back...but he is always right, he tells me. Anyway he says it is all part of the plan. I don't buy it. I think when Trump met with Obama. Obama informed him that he had the "goods" on him and he better walk the line(rino establishment line) if he knows whats good for him.
So sit back and enjoy the show kids.

You need to research what the chief of staff does. Hiring a 100% outsider staff that would be played like a fiddle by the DC machine would be stupid. Priebus's job will be to keep the trains running. Bannon is who you need to look at for the shake-em and break-em strategies. BTW, I'm not a "Trumper", I'm an American who is praying that this works well. I'm pretty tired of our country falling apart. Anyone who is still hoping for his failure is officially part of the problem. Its really time to come together.
Furthermore, the "conservative" cause, and the drain-the-swap mandate are two different things. I think it was pretty well established that Trump is not a pure conservative, but he promised to appoint conservative judges and to uphold "most" conservative principles. His mandate is absolutely to shake things up, and I think he's already doing a pretty good job. The left is seething over Bannon. |

I know what he does.
And that is why I said what I said.
I am not "hoping for his failure" but I knew who he was before he became president elect. You can't deny your past, your past will make you who you are today. This job is daunting and I think he sees that now. But Rience Priebus. There are plenty of conservatives out there who know the ins and outs of D.C.
I hope for his success IF it is to move our country out of the liberal quagmire it is in. If we continue down the Bush road, we are still headed in the WRONG direction, just slower.
I am glad he is president and not Hillary. But more of the not Hillary that the him.
So I gonna be critical. |

I think it is a smart move. Remember when my president CArter brought in all outsiders (or a bunch of them), his congress revolted and he now is listed by many as the worst president of all times. They were referred to as the Georgia Mafia. Didn't work worth a flip!

| I spent months being critical and blasting him, now he's President-elect and I will support him. One thing I said when I was being critical that I still believe very strongly is that if Trump fails as president, then there will not be another conservative or Republican president in most of our lives. I don't want to tell anyone what to do, but I believe it would be best if we all pray for his success. Even Obama spoke truly when he said that his (Trump's) success is our success. |

Look, I just want to bring some reality to the "all in" Trump supporters. I have heard ad nauseam from them all of the things he was going to do because he was an "outsider" then he gets in and the first thing he does is get and insider to basically run the outsider machine. WHAT?
The comments are not aimed at you UncleJD. I certainly hope the best for him, but if he wants more than one term, he has certainly started out on the wrong foot and quite frankly I think it will take more than one term.
The masses that voted for him in Ohio, Michigan and other "rust belt states" will not turn out again for a perceived "turn coat".
Oh and understand the Chief of staff has more power than the Vice president! So yes there should be some concern.
| Quote: | | Chiefs of staff generally (among other things) control access to the president / manage his schedule and time -- an important source of power. VPs generally don't even have offices at the white house, travel on separate planes from the president for security reasons, have essentially zero constitutional powers, and have quite a bit else riding against them in the constitution as described farther down. |

Wow, I guess we should just cut this out of the Bible then...2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. |

That is exactly right, the chief-of-staff is the most powerful position in the cabinet and as such, it is CRITICAL to have someone who knows the way DC works, you can't afford to not hit the ground running when you have basically 2 years to get anything done. The Bannon appointment is a clear signal that Priebus will be under scrutiny.
btw, the VP has less official power than the janitor except on those rare occasions when he/she has to break a tie. |

Actually Trump didn't mean to win and still secretly supports Hillary.
