all these narcissistic pieces by Byrne are shameful.
Trump did not lost the election. period.
Leaders, whether Presidents, or managers, need that one special person with whom they can share the truth. And, they need to hear the truth from that special advisor. Yes, that explains why President Trump relied on Rudy. It just seems to me that Rudy did not apply the same standards of leadership to those who surrounded him.
The President can take some blame for that, but the vast majority of, at least how I’m reading events it, rests squarely on Rudy’s shoulders.
I don’t want to dwell too much on Byrne’s commentary (and I don’t want to bash Rudy), but therein, he spelled out clearly how “swampy” Rudy’s team was.
Going back to the Cohen affair, yes, I think that you are exactly right.
Gosh, it’s a sad state of affairs.
I’ve lurked here for over two decades, and the political commentary and astuteness of it (thank you for all that you wrote) has kept me coming back.
It was time for me to get off of the sidelines and get involved - and now, I’ve got to contribute to FR! I will. That’s a promise.
Wishing you and yours a peaceful Sunday.
