We need to make America great again, and for that Donald Trump might be our man. For all the anxiety the White House has caused, brewing constitutional crises at home and anger abroad, Mr. Trump has opened a path to reunify this politically divided nation.
A “team of rivals” that transcends party lines, composed of eminent men and women, could rein in the administration. This bipartisan group, preferably endorsed by past U.S. presidents, would be made up of former cabinet members and heads of independent federal agencies. Inspired by the British Shadow Cabinet, it would be structured to mirror the official cabinet and would issue rapid, sharp critiques and cogent alternatives to the administration’s most dangerous policies.
By becoming a recognizable public fixture, the group would wield the clout necessary to compete with the White House’s megaphone, offering the disgruntled public a clear opposing stance rather than the disparate, and sometimes desperate, efforts today. The group would provide the opposition much-needed focus by identifying the most destructive policies and pronouncements: some examples from the first few weeks include antagonizing our allies, forcing through an ill-considered immigrant ban, undermining the judicial system, and politicizing the National Security Council.

Deep State is the newer name
Who are the 2 neocons???? (LOL)
Sounds like they plan on disagreeing with Trump no matter what he says.
Great have all the #fakenews people join together and produce only one #fakenews meme per day.
Yeah....because I’m sure Americans would love to be ruled by a bunch of has beens
I’m actually speechless!
A guy who says Trump has caused a constitutional crisis (how?) now wants to completely circumvent the constitution. These people are evil.
Evil and omnipresent.
Look upthread and you will see an unrepentant neocon here.
You know where they can stick that ‘fixture’.
Interesting. I have felt over the last couple decades that the WSJ has become a swamp denizen.
Unlikely. Form a group to counter Trump and in a week they'll become known as "those guys again," or "the usual suspects."
The prevailing paradigm is: every talking head dragged out on TV represents a partisan position.
When you see Leon Panetta, you don't think "eminent man" or "distinguished public servant," you think "Democratic party line."
And if "bipartisan" means David Gergen -- well, it's not going to be very persuasive.
Consider this cowboy beclowned also:
Commie is as commie does.
Irving Kristol, unrepentant Trotskyite, canonized the Neoconservative movement. His son is as bad.
They are globalists; they are redistributionists.
Yeah, they are communists.
I refuse any longer to let leftists tell me what words and names I may use: Control the debate by controlling the permitted terminology. (They love to invent euphemisms to hide their evil designs: socialist, progressive, liberal, neoconservative).
Leftists live to infiltrate and subvert, and the Republican Party was infiltrated and subverted after World War II.
I call ‘em all communists.
Death by a thousand small cuts versus death by a dozen big ones is still bloody, violent and premature death by a sharpened object.
Hell I thought the (insert damn near any news source of your choosing here) had that covered already. In the suit of your choice.
Interesting how this story is a "wouldn't it be nice if", since we KNOW it's already in place and working it's hardest to diminish President Trump. They already have McCain, Graham, and Collins, and Obama's been in on it since before he left office.
bipartisan, the socialist bait for stupid rinos
