Trump names Sessions chair of his national security team
The Washington Examiner ^ | March 3rd, 2016 | By Pete Kasperowicz

Donald Trump on Thursday named Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., as chairman of his national security advisory committee.

Trump's campaign said Sessions, a vocal advocate of tougher enforcement of the nation's immigration laws, would counsel Trump on foreign policy and homeland security.

"It is an honor to have Jeff as a member of the team," Trump said. "I have such great respect for him and I look forward to working with him on the issues most important to Americans."

"I am grateful for the opportunity to recommend and facilitate discussions among exceptional and experienced American military and diplomatic leaders to share insight and advice with Donald Trump, regardless of their political views," Sessions said. "Mr. Trump and the American people know our country needs a clear-eyed foreign policy rooted in the national interest."

Sessions will find some good people, still think Sessions should have run, but this works out better I guess, given the kitchen sink approach taken by the party “leadership”.

I was thinking Trump is beginning to seem like Sparticus or something, but upon reflection I think he’s more like a bull fighter with the GOPe as a bull with some sort of angst unbecoming of its bovine nature going on.

With this pick, Hillary faces imminent confinement in Leavenworth!

I don’t believe that Trump is very knowledgeable about many subjects involving governance and government, but I also doubt that he could assemble a DIY kit backyard shed, much less architect a building. A good leader leads, and hires people more knowledgeable then themselves to do particular jobs; a bad leader (i.e., Obama) actually hires inferior, less knowledgeable people.
