I cannot believe the ever mounting attacks on Trump so early after the election. Apparently the left was caught by surprise by his election as were many of us and have hastily organized thus making trivial errors; i.e. the screams over Trump going out to eat without the press; or Ivanka's bracelet.

Once they get organized the left's attacks will become more pointed and savage.

No more Bushes. I would not trust a globalist Bush lackey if I am President Trump.

Excellent find on this #NeverTrump turkey. Here is a quote from the linked article that gives this hack’s mindset...

“People with such skills exist, including Mitt Romney. The question is whether one of them will step forward.”

“Hillary is the lesser evil, by a large margin,” said Eliot Cohen, a former top State Department official under George W. Bush and a strategic theorist who argues for a muscular U.S. role abroad. Trump's election would be “an unmitigated disaster for American foreign policy," Cohen said, adding that "he has already damaged it considerably.”

Cohen, an Iraq war backer who is often called a neoconservative but said he does not identify himself that way, said he would "strongly prefer a third party candidate" to Trump, but added: "Probably if absolutely no alternative: Hillary."

"They're angry, arrogant, screaming "you LOST!"

Funny....when Obama said the same thing eight years ago, you RINO wussies fell to your knees and bowed your heads.

He spent two terms ripping out the foundations of our country with nary a peep out of you cowards.

Now you've suddenly found the courage to harrumph about the man who's come to repair the damage. Go to hell, quislings.

First, can there really be such a thing as a “Chicago Conservative”???

Second, I believe the guy wrote this “my dog ate my homework” article, to cover any dust on him, that might tinge the team.

President-Elect Trump looks to his upcoming administration to be as tight knit, and running as smooth as his business enterprises, with as nary a swamp smell.

I would warn against hiring Bush sycophants to serve in the Trump administration.

And they are going to lose. Consider that neos have controlled the game for so long that even 'opposition' candidates were merely team players dressed in different jerseys.

The financial/media globalists don't really have a credible defense without controlling actual politicians. Their message of destroyed individual liberty, using state control to engage in force & fraud, and the purposeful deceit of false memes to confuse the ignorant is easily countered once exposed.

Trump has 4-8 years to play chess with these types; Putin has already shown how it's done. Reinforce the domestic economy to get general buy-in while revealing the intentions of the peoples' enemies to destroy their ability to distort and misrepresent.

Never Trumper clod

Last March, when a Donald Trump presidency was but a fever dream for the candidate’s detractors, Cohen and 121 other Republican national-security experts condemned the likely GOP nominee. They denounced Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric, his rough treatment of Mexico and other U.S. allies, his advocacy of torture and trade wars, and his praise for authoritarian leaders like Vladimir Putin. They characterized him as erratic, dishonest, and hostile to American civil liberties. “[A]s committed and loyal Republicans,” they wrote in an open letter, “[w]e commit ourselves to working energetically to prevent the election of someone so utterly unfitted to the office.”

“Hillary is the lesser evil, by a large margin,” Cohen, who helped organize the letter, said at the time. Trump’s victory would be “an unmitigated disaster for American foreign policy."

Hopefully, DT owes no one anything.

The days of
Its ‘his/her’ turn should be over.

IMNSHO Christie was a ‘luke warm’ backer, coming aboard when it deemed T was ‘in charge’.

NJ went/stayed D, Christie not in the inner circle.

Maybe not planned that way but it worked out that way.

Never did ‘like’ Priebus, think bad choice BUT he did remain one of the few GOPe types (if by association if nothing else) that remained loyal to DT.

This go along to get along CRAP has never worked for the R’s.

Remember a few years back when the Veep was the Senate tie breaker as a result of ‘Jumpin Jeffreys(sp?)’ shifting to either I or D and the Senate was 25-25.
All the GOPes LED by McCain and his misfitz were clamoring for Committees to have same # of Ds & Rs, in ‘fairness’ because it was a tie.

He backtracked when a D suggested that since the equal # was ‘good’ they should have JOINT CHAIRS.

McCain backed out of the Original deal.....

Share YOUR power but leave me mine...Hate to dis a Vet, Navy Vet at that, BUT this act and when he changed his mind on the Stars & Bars in SC(?) mid stream, showed me the character of McCain - just making decisions to suit HIS OWN NEEDS.
