Scarammuci knew how to play the social media game and was going to utilize it to help Trump get his message out. We don’t need another establishment person - which is who I bet Kelly brings in. Trump wanted a communications director that answered to him versus his chief of staff. We needed someone who was going to toss out the old media strategy of responding and someone who would go on the offense. Yes, he used terrible language, but he made a mistake, and the bottom line is that I would have given him a chance. Ryan Lizza (who he had the infamous conversation with) said that he was one advisor who NEVER bashed Trump when others did off the record. He gave up everything to come work for Trump - even his marriage is ending - and after waiting six months, he didn’t get the job again after thinking he had it.
Maybe Kelly will prove me wrong, but he was not my pick. Why in the world Trump won’t pick Newt - someone beloved by the base who knows his way around Washington, passing legislation, and could run a White House - I don’t know.
Newt doesn’t want it, he is having to much fun in his golden years as a Fox pundit.
I disagree. Scaramooche was an embarrassment. He started off great. All of here for the most part loved his press conference. Best ever.
Then the Goodfellas tirade, that really surprised me.
Sorry, he couldn’t handle success.
