I have almost no use for Trump but this is the game Tokyo Rove plays—he attacks people and when they attack back he calls them thin-skinned or whatever. The clown pulled the same thing with Sarah Palin. Trump isn’t correct about much but where Rove is concerned, yes, he’s a loser.
The ‘think skin’ argument is laughable. Have we had anyone in the public eye in the past generation who’s ballsier than Trump?
But consider this: both Rove and Krauthammer called Trump a “clown.” Krauthammer announced on FNS that Trump had called him personally to make his case. No such call was made to Rove.
It’s obvious why. Trump is disgusted with the ‘service’ Rove provided on behalf of Bush 41, and considers him a total incompetent. Rove’s advice destroyed Bush’s public approval, and left the door wide open for Obama to come along and destroy the USA as we’ve known it.
Not for one second do I believe that Trump is an ideological conservative. Like most businessmen, he’s not ideological at all. But he IS a patriot.
And, Trump knows how to find the best people for the job. In practice, we have “Administrations,” a Presidency with appointees to manage the affairs of government. It’s not a one-man band. The President himself, or herself whenever that day comes, has to surround himself with top managers/administrators, not a bunch of ivory tower “experts” or community activists. Does anyone think for an instant that Trump would appoint a Sotomayor to the SCOTUS? Or a Van Jones to anything? He wouldn’t hire them to shine his shoes,.
