Yep. Who hired these people?

Lol...so are you suggesting that anyone fitting this description was honest in the interview process?

Scaramucci is basically right, though he delivers the thought clumsily. He is describing the problem with trying to hire a staff that will satisfy various factions of the party. Rather than a good presidential staff, you end up with the same type of Republican party "in fighting" we saw play out in the Senate last night. What Trump needs (basically what any president needs), is a staff that is supportive of the AGENDA the president ran on (it's not really all that important for them to be super loyal to Trump himself). That way, your disagreements center on the best way to implement the addenda, rather than disagreements over what the agenda should be.

I am still astounded by the selection of Priebus as WH chief of staff. He's never shown me the skill to do anything other than fundraising. And that's not the COS job. Plus he's clearly loyal to the republican establishment rather than Trump. I think that may be the appointment that Trump comes to rue the most.

He has not proven to be a good choice at all---especially if he really is the source of much of the WH leaking.

The WH has been a frigging disaster. The job of the COS is to prevent precisely that.

All of those appointments that are lagging? It's the job of the COS to get them done.

I thought the whole primary process was a disaster for republicans. That was Priebus's baby, and he screwed it up royally. It started with having debates moderated by left-wing ideologue newscasters who ran them in a way that hurt the republican brand. It's pretty clear that they thought Trump would be the easiest candidate for Hillary to beat, so they set out to sabotage every other candidate. It's probably poetic justice that they were wrong about Trump.

Why does Trump keep Priebus?

Why does Trump want the respect and fawning from the media that hates him? (he keeps doing NYT and NYmag. etc.. interviews.) It is like he thinks it is still the 1980's and he wants that NY mindset/world of the upper East Side media group and social events. That world is gone! They hate him now.

No more MSM..no more establishment repubs..no more MSM debates..and screw McCain, and Graham and the rest of that ilk.

We have a conservative media, use it, build it, stick only with it until the MSM goes unbiased.

Scaramucci may be the fisrt step in replacing Priebus. Fox round table said they think he may be gone by Monday.

Trump is trying to keep both the establishment GOP (Priebus) and base (Bannon) happy. He hates both thus why we have Scaramucci.

There hangs the problem. Some of Trump's agendas are more Liberal stance which he could get Democrat support on, and others are Republican ideas. The issue is that he tries to mixed both which does not work. The problem is Trump is having trouble get people together to work with each other. He tends to tick people off on both sides, and it will only sinks his Presidency.

You should try proofreading your posts. There's a lot of gibberish.
