“This is why Trump should have NEVER run as a republican.... even in 2016.
He was surrounded by the GOP with traitors from day 1.”
So he should have staffed up with Democrats? Remember, neither you, nor I , nor Trump KNEW who all the RINOs were in 2016.

Well, thats a good point.

I will partially (less than 50/50) grant you that. But he certainly knew of the McCain and Romney archetypes; He saw right through Comey early on and with his acumen judging people (I should say evaluating) he really should have understood the depth and breadth of Swampdom much, much more than he did. He got the report (from Kelly(?) that he was being surveilled and moved his campaign to Joisey the next day, well before the election. Yes, it was and is barely comprehensible and few saw it. But Trump should have fired 35x the number of people he did. He seriously underestimated how deadly crazed serious his opponents were and how the law would be subverted to undermine him NOT ONLY at every opportunity, but to make up new opportunities knowing there was never to be any penalty for making stuff up. His episode with Comey showed that, precisely, and early. What he did not understand was that Comey had 5 level deep backup, including the entire DOJ.
