Former Bush official warns against serving in Trump admin

Posted on 11/16/2016 9:05:01 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

(CNN)A former George W. Bush administration official who once encouraged recalcitrant Republicans to serve in the incoming Trump administration is now issuing a warning against getting on board, cautioning that those Republicans "would probably have to make excuses for things that are inexcusable and defend people who are indefensible."

Eliot Cohen, who served as a State Department counselor from 2007 to 2009, wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post published Tuesday explaining why he had changed his mind after engaging with the Trump transition team. Earlier Tuesday, he had tweeted: "After exchange w Trump transition team, changed my recommendation: stay away. They're angry, arrogant, screaming "you LOST!" Will be ugly."

I’m not seeing a downside here. He wanted to engage in a little backroom dealing and was shut down. Now, he’s bitter and angry, because the Trump team has changed the “way things have always been done around here.” He seems to have missed the major point of the election. We WANT things done differently.

Uh huh...The George W Bush administration. The only reason it wasn’t the worst administration in modern history is because there have been so many others that give it such strong competition for that “honor”.

Anyone who served, or would have served, in the W Bush administration should be immediately disqualified anyway.

Cohen preferred Hillary. None of the lying presstitutes will mention the back story here.

Good. I hope our great country never employs slime balls like Elliot Cohen in our government ever again.

Cohen should go ask Hillary Clinton for a job.

Cohen is a never Trumper who tried to get Hillary Clinton elected president.

Do we really need anything from the . . . 1. Pollsters

While I'll admit that most pollsters in the public eye are unworthy of the name "deplorable", some are good, God-fearing, patriotic people.

Good!

Let them watch — from the sidelines.

They have been more of the problems than the solutions, anyway.

If you describe yourself as GOP foreign policy elite- you will probably not be asked to join the team.

Eliot Cohen, who served as a State Department counselor from 2007 to 2009...

Never heard of him. Doesn't even rise to the level of McMuffin in name recognition in the #NeverTrump crowd.
