So, last week when I said I met with Team Trump at Trump Tower, this was one of the things we discussed. The rollout was supposed to be even bigger. There was a difference of opinion in Team Trump between those who wanted “shock and awe” and a massive “cancel everything” move, and those who favored a “drip, drip, drip.”
I liked the former, but the rationale for holding off on some was the cabinet appointees. It was thought that being too provocative before they were in place might kill a couple of nominations.
Everything I get from Team Trump is that they want to be MORE aggressive, and are holding back in certain areas only to ensure that no one can stop them once they get started.
Makes sense until Cabinet is confirmed.
After all we have a few GOP Senators that would any excuse to vote
against some of Trumps nominee’s.
We all know who those senators are.
I’m all for being aggressive.
Yes drip, drip, drip for now. Chucky Cheese Schumer attempting to press the brakes in the Senate.
I’m from the “Slow and steady wins the race.” school of thought.

Makes perfect sense to me. The nominations are important and the poor education nominee struggled on her best day with no shock and no awe strategy to interfere, or she would be possibly at risk.

Mature plan. Difference of a few days.
Thank you for this information; makes total sense to drip drip until appointments are approved. I would prefer totall aggressive but if this would endanger any of the appointments, then I see the sense.
Excited about this. Really need to keep the momentum going and have their heads spinning.
Sure the MSM has already started writing stories about the ‘victims’ of budget cuts.
I am a proponent of the Machiavellian transition.
Reversing the Mexico City Policy can be done immediately. That’s become a tradition every time the office of the Presidency changes parties.
I of course prefer shock and awe, but waiting till your generals are on board makes some sense. It also gets our base gradually fired up for the all out political slugfest that is looming.
A week or two won’t matter so long as the administration is seen going all Conan the Barbarian on the suppurating bedsores of globalism.
Thanks for the ping, Larry. I agree with their thinking. With as nasty of people as Warren, let’s get a good team and then get more forceful. Warren is one hateful squaw!
Love it!
Larry, as long as he doesn’t pull a fast one on the BIG issue of “climate change” being junk science! His nominee today conceded the high ground when he stated that man does cause climate changes (somehow, unspecified, unscientific).
It may be best to have most all our people safely in place and then steamroller 'em and never let 'em get up again.
“I liked the former, but the rationale for holding off on some was the cabinet appointees. It was thought that being too provocative before they were in place might kill a couple of nominations.”
That’s exactly what I was thinking. No need to piss off the Dems (any more than they already) until total cabinet is in place.
It’s all good LS... we’re winning this one.
which is why the cabinet confirmations are being dragged out.
Shumer wants to prevent shock and awe
Makes good strategic sense. I noticed DJT giving Chuck Schumer a lot of razzing about the appointments at the Inauguration Day luncheon. He is not going to let up.
