I've listened to almost every thank-you speech and Trump says he is going to drain the swamp. Specifically he says he is going to impose a five year ban on lobbying and a lifetime ban on lobbying for a foreign government. It's good enough considering what he can do policy-wise.

To really drain the swamp means firing 100,000 enemies of America entrenched in the bureaucracy (probably a low estimate). That's going to mean some large battles, and Trump does not release his battle plans.

Maybe he’s the guy that will come out and say things like this just so the ‘fake news’ will have something to write about...lol...

Provide at least some evidence of such a spectacular claim. Other than that you believe it.

If Trump was told something like that in private, he’d step out the door and say, “Hey, everybody, this guy right here just threatened my life.” He certainly wouldn’t bow and scrape before some political thug hack.

Trump and his team will take Washington like Alexander and his Macedonians roared into Persia - the entrenched, much larger enemy army will face the lighting, asymmetrical warfare that it has never seen.

I believe Trump will outflank, out-PR, and outdo the sclerotic bureaucrats. It will be like the 16 dwarves + Hillary in the recent campaign - they won’t know what hit them.

Remember Scott Adams’ opinion of Trump’s Persuasion Skills?

He said in July 2015 (referring to the upcoming campaign):

“Trump is bringing a flamethrower to a stick fight.”

His persuasion is just getting started. Watch him unexpectedly turn some opponents, and use his connection with the voters to turn the heat up on obstructionists.

Get the popcorn, folks. Its going to happen.

Before you all get bent out of shape, if you look at the links at the bottom of Rush’s site where the transcript of the segment of the show is you will notice that it comes from the Washington Compost. So for all we know it could very well be Fake News by the Washington Compost, or the author who wrote it for the Washington Compost

Since when does Newt speak for Donald Trump? There’s a reason he wasn’t offered a job in the new administration. He is a loquacious over the hill narcissist.

In all of his rallies, once “Drain the Swamp” took hold, Trump would say he didn’t like the expression, thought it was hokey. Doesn’t mean he’s not going to see to it that the swamp is, in fact, drained by whatever term he finds more appealing. It has to be done. Start at DOJ, State... and move on from there.

Simon Foxx gets it and gets Trump. The rest of the arm chair nit pickers need to quit hand-wringing and let the new pres go to work.

“If, by chance, this is true ...”

My guess would be that it’s tactical. It’s not exactly wise to constantly force your enemy to keep his guard up by shouting your intentions into his face.

Fake news? After everything that’s been said and done I find this a little hard to believe. Still we need term limits and there are many that need to step down because they have become too entrenched into the system to work for the people instead of themselves.

***** As long as he drains the swamp I do not care what the terminology is. *****


I completely agree and I’d put up a sizable wager that’s exactly what’s going to happen.

I don’t take anything at face value from the media. They are no longer trustworthy. That is why I qualified my statement. I expect Trump to do what he said - that is his reputation. I also believe Sessions is going to be a whole different animal than what we have become accustomed to at DOJ. He is a buttkicker and I pray he kicks a lot of butt.

Amen to that. The crybaby #nevertrumpers are more entertaining to me than the typical liberal these days.
