I know this comes from John Fund of NR, which will likely cause some cohort of Freepers to flail and foam at the mouth, but the numbers are sobering and reveal a strategic carelessness. Of course the Senate has been perfidious in stalling the nominees thus far, and if Trump does not want to appoint people to these posts, fine. But to leave them in the hands of Obamao's minions or swamp lifers is foolhardy and reckless, leaving dangerous enemies in place to continue Obamao's misanthropic legacy. It is the risk of him coming from a family-owned mortgage brokerage business to a broader stage. At Trump Inc. anyone who did not share his goals could be out in five minutes. In the swamp, it takes paying attention and acting judiciously and swiftly.

That’s nice to read the NR worried about Trump.
Kind of gives ya the warm and fuzzies.

And this is what Trump is doing to the leftist-noobs:

Ha Ha! Home Alone!!! Does that mean he sets a bunch of booby traps to beat up intruders?

Best to speed up the process... that said I’d rather have Obama leftovers than ‘nevertrumpers’ from the national review ilk.

That’s the bottom of the barrel. Those are the people we want OUT of our party. Better an opponent than a traitor.

What's the point of appointing more when 144 of the nominees are yet to be appointed? I don't want the DC Traitors to cherry-pick whom to approve.

The appointees are another story. I'd love to see President Trump appoint some real-world Deplorables. These would be loyal people who haven't drunk the swamp water and don't have a hidden agenda. I, for one, would love to have a say in Education. I honestly think I'm more qualified with ideas that would save money and get the feds out of public education.

Didn’t Trump have a cameo in Home Alone?

Surprisingly I think John Fund makes some excellent points & recommendations. Not often I will give John Fund any of my time, because I generally do not like the man. But this time I must agree him in many respects. The advice he is giving is not only sound advice by critical advice to defeat the swampy laded Deep State.

It also points to that fact that there are way too many positions that need Senate approval. There should not be more than about 50 that should require it. (Outside the judiciary)

The fewer of his own people the President has around him the more dependent he is on McConnell’s people and Ryan’s people and career staff.
