Some of the establishment Republicans are still in denial about Trump. This has shaken them to their very core and they are clinging to the hope, increasingly slim, that a way will be found to deny Trump the nomination. This is a nightmare and an utter catastrophe for the establishment GOPe.
It is for them like this: Imagine you work for a company and have spent your entire career there learning the system and having connections with everybody up to the CEO. Most of the people in the company are mediocre and thus you feel your position in the company is secure and you can just maintain your position and stay on cruise control until retirement. Your company is a distant number 2 in your industry but you don’t mind. No pressure, no worries. Just show up and you are assured of a comfortable and secure job with no heavy lifting.
Then one morning you come to work and find out your CEO just got fired. The incoming CEO has a reputation as a hard-nosed businessman who has no toleration for mediocrity and slackers. He promises to make your company number one in the industry and vows to clean house and bring in top talent from the outside.
Suddenly your whole comfortable little world is turned upside down and you begin to panic about what lies ahead. Further you worry that the new CEO will realize that you are deadweight and have been mailing it in all these years. Your position is in real jeopardy. You wish this was a bad dream and that you will wake up to the way things were before.
This is what the establishment GOPe is going through right now. The jig is up.
You make a good case for term limits.
I think Trump will leave the office better than when he found it.
I think he looks at everything. Term limits. Fresh faces. Best minds.
I kinda see it different from you. I think people get complacent, then a guy comes in, and brings the best out of you. He fires the ones that aren’t performing...and things take off.
I think this country is mired in mediocrity in our politics, but it can turm around fast.
Trump can deliver. Bobby Knight was wonderful yesterday.
GREAT analogy. And make it a law firm and “you’ve” been overcharging your clients for 15 years, and that is all coming to an end.
Good analogy.
