"Experts".

I see this as a good thing. Enough Stanford know-it-alls and their failed ideas.

[Rockitz]

More GOPe cronies left out in the cold. Boohoo!

[FlipWilson]

I read that Bolton was advising him amongst others. Once again Politico carrying the GOPe’s water.

[cba123]

Completely agree.

100%

“First rate people”

They really do think of themselves this way. If they’re so brilliant, how did they get us into the mess in the Middle East? What arrogant fools these people are.

[cincinnati65]

Yep. Very few connections back to the Bush family for most of them.

Unlike this critic......hmmmmmmm

[drypowder]

criteria for the job: put America and Americans first, end of story!!

[Lurker]

“Top men.”

"I don’t know any of them," said Kori Schake, a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution and a former official in the George W. Bush State Department. "National security is hard to do well even with first rate people. It’s almost impossible to do well with third rate people."

Bull. Either Kori is lying or stupid.

“”I don’t know any of them,” said Kori Schake,” -— I have heard of some of Trump’s people. No one has ever heard of this Kori woman. She may be brilliant and wise, but she is not impressing me here.

[Mouton]

Yeah, they did such a bang up job in the run up to 9/11.

[moovova]

“Trump woke up and got out of bed this morning: Experts baffled by his actions.”

[I don’t know any of them,” said Kori Schake, a research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and a former official in the George W. Bush State Department.]

Good. New blood will weed out any moles that have been embedded in security.

[jjotto]

Seems to be nothing wrong with the people named. If Politico’s agin ‘em, that can’t be bad.

It will be interesting to see who will emerge as Trump’s foreign policy guru, who may or may not be an official member of any foreign policy team.

[TornadoAlley3]

But is she beautiful?

[LS]

Not endorsed by National Review. Ok, I’m sold.

[detective]

Name one area of foreign policy where the “experts” were successful.

The Best and the Brightest under Lyndon Johnson gave us the Viet Nam War. Carter's brillant experts almost lost the cold war. The KGB felt they had won in 1980.

The “experts” called Reagan a “dunce” and attacked everything he did. When Reagan won the cold war they said it was because of Harry Truman fifty years earlier.

The “experts” failed with North Korea, Iran, Syria, Iraq, China, Libya and everywhere else in the world.

We need another “dunce” like Ronald Reagan.

The ruling class idiots are only concerned with the quality of the canapes.

“...Trump’s foreign policy team baffles GOP experts...”
Heh, that wouldn’t take much...they’re clueless on everything.

[Travis McGee]

The "experts" are way over-analyzing the situation.
