You make some good points, but West HAS served in Congress and knows the enemy when he sees it. Trump would be wise to find a meaningful and visible job for him in his Administration.
But you see, the congress is not going to be trump’s enemy
He needs the congress to move on his agenda and he is usedto making the deal among adversarial interests and getting things done
Let’s hope it translates into similar political results
West is a lightweight at this level of the game
And this may be one of the hardest games ever inherited by a US President given our perilous economy and security situation
Trump needs his own Dick Cheney , a guy respected by both sides of the aisle who knows the rules and how to get things done
The consummate bureau chief
And knows where the bodies are buried
