General Michael Flynn defended Trump from the constant liberal media attacks. In September General Flynn said with Trump we will actually win the war with radical Islam and ISIS.

I SO agree!!!!! God Bless You Mike Pence!!!!!!
Flynn won’t last long. Total flake from all reports. What kind of fool pens a pro-Erdogan op-ed on election day? And without disclosing his financial ties to islamist Turkey!
>> Great news for presidents for life, Putin and Erdogan <<
And the reason that Flynn probably couldn’t be confirmed by the Senate for a regular cabinet post.
Nepal....that would work for me.
>> I read somewhere that he had been a lobbyist for Turkey while sitting in on security briefings during the campaign <<
Yes, but after accepting payment from an Erdogan ally and doing some pro-Erdogan PR, apparently the good General didn’t register as a lobbyist for a foreign government. So everything is copasetic. No scandal or anything like that.
>> there is no doubt that it was friendly to the US. Those citizens STILL live in Turkey <<
More and more of those US-friendly Turks are being picked up and jailed by Erdogan’s security folks. So let’s hope Gen. Flynn’s buddies in the regime get some of our friends released.
“One of the big negatives about the initial Obama team in 2008...was that they had virtually no real foreign affairs talent (I think they had one single person out of the top 24 selected).”
The Fraud’s handler, Iranian muslim Valerie Jarrett had all that covered. She secured many billions of KNOWN taxpayer money for her primary country of allegiance.
Or perhaps Ace McCain to Libya, and Mitch to Somalia
>> Flynn wont last long. . . . What kind of fool pens a pro-Erdogan op-ed on election day? <<
Looks to me like a scandal just waiting to explode, a ticking time-bomb so to speak.
Trump really doesn’t need this kind of problem at the start of his administration.
Perhaps Flynn can have an impact. We’ll know by this time next year.
I’m not sure...McCain really needs a ‘safe space’, one where he can cry if his feelers demand it. Could we make him ambassador to UCLA?
If we can survive Susan Rice as NSA we can survive Flynn. Somebody like Flynn makes some sense to balance out a more hawkish Sec of State. But he isn’t the guy. Too many alarm bells going off.
Flynn was not my pick for VP, but I think he has great experience, great success in a war setting, and a history of loyalty and courage on behalf of the USA.
I think he’ll be an excellent NSA for President Trump.
Hey, we could repatriate him to Guam!
Any universities on Guam where he can cry if he needs to?
“Did trump say it?”
So far, no.
I too am skeptical this will be Trump’s choice. At least I’ll wait and see what is officially announced.
COG.
That’s a great comment, thanks for your first-hand testimonial!! Mike Flynn should be an outstanding National Security Advisor. I, too, was tempted to see him as DNI, but this will be just great.
Obama fires him...Trump hires him! In your face Gilligan!
