Signatures come back to haunt anti-Trumpers...
Washington Post ^ | 01.16.17 | David Nakamura

They are some of the biggest names in the Republican national security firmament, veterans of past GOP administrations who say, if called upon by President-elect Donald Trump, they stand ready to serve their country again.

But their phones aren’t ringing. Their entreaties to Trump Tower in New York have mostly gone unanswered. In Trump world, these establishment all-stars say they are “PNG” — personae non gratae.

Their transgression was signing one or both of two public “Never Trump” letters during the campaign, declaring they would not vote for Trump and calling his candidacy a danger to the nation.

I remember the letters and thinking at the time they were exceptionally stupid to do that.

He should at least give them the Mittens treatment. Get them all excited and build up their hopes and then pull the rug right out from under their most undeserving feet . . . and then LAUGH!

They made their bed.
Most of them contributed to the problems we have.
We don’t need their service.

That’s what you get when, in fear and ignorance, you help one of the worst Democrats ever to run for the presidency.

You didn’t use the actual title and this thread was posted in the last 30 or so minutes, so you didn’t search.
