Dubya fell victim to his own liberalism, as I believe will Trump. If you want to drain the DC/Uniparty swamp, do it! But it requires more than simply insulting people, it requires an army of personnel, which in my observation is Trump’s greatest shortcoming. Unfortunately Trump is such a creature of the cult of personality he will not make appointments unless he knows the nominee is personally loyal to him above all else, hence 90% of the army he could have in place to work alongside him is not in place to fight the regulative State. The roster of holdover Obamaites is breathtaking, all because Trump is either too lazy or misguided to have fired them all on the first day and put new appointees in office.
I want office holders to not only fight ruthlessly against the collectivist totalitarian cultural marxists, but also FOR liberty, free markets, and Constitutionality. When Trump does this, I celebrate loudly, when he does not I criticize equally loudly.
I did not want Dubya to “be above it all” and I do not want Trump to behave like a pubescent. I want(ed) both of them to follow the ideals of the Founders and lead us to ever greatness. They both had/have the ability, just not the commitment and courage.
Nice theory but decades of republican history suggests it’s not going to get results.
