The larger point that Trump doesn't quite touch on is that after Al Gore created a permanently divided America with his endless recounts, Bush did not feel he had enough of a public mandate to systematically remove the huge horde of progressive Clinton plants infesting all of the agencies - 9/11 may well have resulted directly because of the hordes of incompetents filling key positions in that year.

And the thing is, they never left during Bush's term - only adding to their numbers - and Obama has made it even worse. For a President Trump to fix anything, he will have to do what Bush did not dare to do and say "You're fired!" early and often, while remaining deaf to the caterwauling of the MSM.

You are quite right. My understanding is a President coming in to office has control over 3500 positions? Maybe 3K? Anyway, if/when we get a Republican in office again, the first thing he needs to do is have a team ready to take the field on day one! Kick everyone of these communists/muslims/rejects right the hell out of their offices! Leave no one behind. ALL of ‘em!

I agree with you. I also believe Trump will do that. He said he plans on firing a lot at the EPA. He has quite a rats nest to be cleaned out. I heard Mark Levin saying Obama has been filling civil servant jobs with leftists and those jobs are for life. Not sure what can be done about that.

Good points. That was Bush's stupid mistake which he kept repeating the entire 8 years in office.He was apologizing for winning and it let to a lot of dangerous policies staying in place that should have been stooped including the Open Borders / Saudi nationals can go and go as they please with a phony student visas !

Bush let Chuck Shummer take over the Justice Dept. and then his so called Brian Karl La Raza Rive tried to ram thru amnesty after the 9-11 disaster for his fat cat Cheap Labor donors pals .
