Yes, it's truly disgusting. So much for principles.
A lot of compromises had to be made in defense of Donald Trump.
But at least Hillary Clinton isn’t president. And now conservatives can hope that Trump does 3/4ths of what he said he would do, and ignores the other 1/4th.
His cabinet picks have been interesting to say the least. Ideologically a majority look good, but it will be interesting to see if a government can really be run without anybody who ever ran one. Maybe it can. And the alternative was picking some people who were there before, meaning “establishment”.
Although Trump could have named a half-dozen establishment folks and everybody would be fine with it. Because he can do no wrong.
I am firmly in the wait and see camp, figuring no point in getting too excited, or fretting either, until something actually happens.
