Thank you for breaking away from the GOPe death grip, Leaning Right, and I think we can make a major move without loads of money. When I was a part of the Perot effort, we organized by congressional district in each state. In my CD in PA we had 4000+ people which represented the “swing vote.” Both parties feared us and we remained unified for a number of years. When Perot left the national scene, we unfortunately fell apart.

Because Trump took too much advice from GOPe people.

Four years ago the reality of the swamp was not as clear as it is now. Trump surely thought that a fair amount of DC, or at least republicans, would assist him in cleaning it up. But with every move he made, another group would emerge from the slime. He now appears to be almost entirely surrounded by deepstaters, traitors, backstabbers and republicans hiding in the shadows. The full reality of the swamp is now emerging. It’s more than anyone imagined four years ago.

You can't replace something with nothing.

Obama got rid of all top ranking Conservatives in every gov't Department.

There was nobody Trump could put in charge who could clean house of Liberals, because there were no Conservatives available in sufficient numbers to change the culture in those agencies.

Americans have four years to form a new political party

Form away, but the Democrats own the entire voting system so what’s the use when you will lose every race, unless pre-approved by the Democrat Party and Xi Jinping?

That is the main problem, other than getting elected, for an outsider.

How do you fill hundreds, if not thousands, of job positions with people you trust, support you & your policies, and get get Congressional approval?

Trump should have cleaned house as soon as he took office.

Unfortunately the federal government is turning into a sort of Ottoman satrapy - the new sultan traditionally strangles all of his relatives with possible claims to the throne when assuming it.

Maybe it’s because he knew his limitations in a way that you don’t.

Maybe it’s because he hasn’t lost yet even though you’re ready to throw in the towel.

Maybe it’s because he knows his assets and opportunities in a way that you don’t.

Maybe it’s because he has shown he’s proven right over time.

Maybe it’s because he actually does have a plan that you’re too cowardly to see.

“Because he had GOP Senators like Flimsey Grahamnesty threatening him”

That is the most important element in all this: The eGOP in the Senate, working with the communists, threatened to allow impeachment of Trump if he dared harm the communists.

That’s a great question. But keep the military out of it. The president has control of the US Marshals Service. He should have used them.

Anyone remember the memo dated May 2017, titled “POTUS & Political Warfare.

It pretty much laid out everything that has happened. Read it. Prophetic.

The seven-page document, which eventually landed on the president’s desk, precipitated a crisis that led to the departure of several high-level NSC officials tied to former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. The author of the memo, Rich Higgins, who was in the strategic planning office at the NSC, was among those recently pushed out.

The problem is that the borders aren’t clear cut.

The short answer is ... it is not as easy to fire someone from the government as you might think. There are laws in place to make what you describe very difficult.

Trump should have cleaned house as soon as he took office. This was his fatal mistake.


It’s important to remember, though, that unlike his predecessors, Trump was not a politician and therefore did not any sort of political ‘team’ to draw from. He was forced for the most part to rely on Republican politicians’ recommendations to put his government together.

All good questions. He hired the worst people, for the most part.

Part of the answer of “why?” was that Trump was an outsider and was totally unprepared to seize all of the levers of power necessary to run and provide direction to the behemoth government bureaucracy. Trump loyalists were few. Trump had no cadre ready to take control of the bureaucracy. Trump thus was boxed into accepting GOPe approved administrators who could pass confirmation. Trump’s great strength of being a strong leader of unilateral action worked against him.

Quit blaming Trump. He has done more than you or anyone else has done to fight the swamp. He is not a dictator and he has to work within the laws. Everything he did was taken to some court and squashed.
