Trump's relationship with his chief of staff has reached a stalemate and is no longer seen as tenable by either party as the two have stopped speaking in recent days.
Trump has begun to envy the smoothly operating vice president's office, which Ayers has managed to keep distanced from the daily scrum and scandal of the White House. Ayers has cultivated key allies, including Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. He also boasts an impressive track record in Republican politics that could serve the President well in the run-up to his 2020 re-election.
But Ayers' meteoric rise has also earned him his fair share of critics, including a few inside the White House. While plans were floated in November for Ayers to become the new chief of staff, multiple sources told CNN, they stalled amid the President's reluctance to fire Kelly -- who typically does the firing for Trump -- and the backbiting Ayers has faced from some of his West Wing colleagues. Several of Trump's top advisers have voiced concerns to him about Ayers, with some threatening to quit if he is tapped for the job. One of Ayers' top West Wing detractors during the process has been Kellyanne Conway, the combative counselor to the President who vehemently opposed Ayers' hire as Pence's chief of staff last year, two former White House officials and a source familiar with the matter said.
Conway disputes those allegations, telling CNN: "I have zero beef with Nick Ayers."
Outside the White House, former colleagues of Ayers say his relative youth and outsized ego -- conspicuous even in a world known for naked ambition and self-aggrandizement -- have rubbed fellow political operatives the wrong way. His allies say that people are just jealous or insecure.

multiple sources told CNN"
______________
........ and "unnamed sources" .......unidentified, undisclosed blah blah, blah.
1. The energy to keep up with President Trump.
2. The ability to say no to those not on the Trump train.
________________
Ayers has #1. I'm not completely sure about him and #2.
Pence and the GOPe are not those warriors.
And a judicial legacy is not enough.

Your doubt is understandable.
And, to me, he has appeared to be overwhelmed for a while now.
Here's hoping everything works out for him and the country.
Ayers lives in Atlanta with his wife Jamie (née Floyd), a former schoolteacher from Houston County, Georgia. They were married in May 2005. Mrs. Ayers is a second cousin of former Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue.[9] The Ayerses have triplets, born in December 2012.[51]
He serves on the board of directors (and is currently board secretary) of Leading the Way, an international Christian ministry, headed by Dr. Michael Youssef.[52]
According to his financial disclosure reports, Ayers’ net worth is between $12 million and $54 million.[35][24] He owns farmland in Georgia worth between $2.5 million and $11 million.[24]
He is 2nd cousin to Sonny Perdue, Christian and from Georgia. I doubt any relation to Bill.

agreed.

9YearLurker, I didn't even know that "snark" was a noun. I looked it up. IT IS.
"Snarky" as an adjective.... sure. But a noun. That's great.
Do you think this young person who has accomplished all that he has for himself is a warrior for any cause or principle other than himself? I marvel that anyone can successfully live on the razors edge of selling access and showing loyalty without getting cut.
thanx for the bonafides on nick
See CNN makes sure that you know he is rich, most of the non journalists, owners of the fake news media, Hollywood owners and actors and rat politicians are rich but this is not the issue, HE is rich and conservative this is the issue
Referencing the Daily Beast is an indictment of one’s political position....on par with believing the tripe on MSNBC.
You have no argument, clearly.
______________
That's correct.
They feel the need to "caricature" the supposed enemy ..... conservatives of any stripe.
And day after day, month after month, year after year the caricature makes its ugly, ominous way into the ignorant voters' subconscious.
ELECTIONS ARE LOST TO THE MEDIA.
THE NATION IS LOST TO THE MEDIA.

Good question. What do YOU think?
The proof is in the puddin’......talk to him....the last two times folks tried to tell Trump he was wrong about something, and took action to ‘help” him, we lost a seat to the dems in Alabama and then required a runoff election in Mississippi....some of us take our political savvy way too serious as we look in from the distance.
And maybe change my tagline to: "Ignore Trump - winning ain't all it's cracked up to be"
