Top Republican political leaders aren’t the only ones shunning their party’s presidential nominee — a vast number of highly skilled managers and policy experts, veterans of recent GOP administrations who would normally be expected to fill key positions for a new White House, are also vowing to sit out a Donald Trump presidency. And while the failure of the two Presidents Bush or House Speaker Paul Ryan to endorse the presumptive nominee carries political consequences, the absence of policy veterans in a new administration would have a substantive effect on the running of government.ok

[Trump needs to fumigate the whole place to succeed. ]

He can and he will. That’s why they are relentless in their attacks. They are fighting for their own relevance and existence.

Cutting off their collective noses to spite their faces?

This gets more entertaining by the day.

They had better watch out or the GOPE can forget about getting more tax breaks or subsidies too.

It’s all the experts, advisors, policy wonks who got us into the mess we are in. Trump would be very wise to shun them, and bring in all new people.

We can only hope at this point!

That doesn’t sound like a bad thing. It is beyond time for fresh faces and fresh ideas.

I’m thinking that’s a GOOD thing.

So we're talking what....20 people, 30 or even 50?

How many people that started with Obama are still there?? Except for Biden....none of them.

They are making it so easy for Trump by flagging themselves as those who would backstab him if they were in his administration. Another win for Trump.

You bet, having such skilled people as HRC in charge of the State Department only set pretty much the entire mideast on fire. That took a high level of talent. Then we had Susan Rice lie to the UN and lie to network TV 5 times about the causes of Banghazi. We had John F’n Kerry negotiate with the Iranians while the admin concocted a story so patently false and idiotic about Iran’s acquisition of nukes and give them 99% of what they wanted, and more.

They persist in believing that Trump has to do things the way they have always been done. They are in for an even more rude awakening.
