Yep.

During President George W. Bush’s second term, every questionable move he made was met with cries of “strategery” from the diehard Bushbots, implying that there was some deep, underlying unspoken motive that actually was quite conservative, just you wait and see. Turns out that wasn’t the case. “Strategery” was nothing more than a mispronunciation. I’m seeing hints of that kind of thinking beginning to arise now, and I will throttle the first person that says it in relation to Trump.

Some of us predicted this outcome when others went nervous-nellie with Haley being named the(worthless) post as US ambassador to the UN.

Trump is a planner and strategist.

Yup, and many one dimension FReepers never considered the plan.

I don’t ever need to hear that stupid word again, it was used to excuse every delusional, deceptive bass-ackwards thing W ever did. If you want to devolve into a totally mindless cheerleader why don’t you revive the daily worship thread.

Trump ain’t W. He’s got a tad more brainpower.

“Addition by subtraction in SC. Linda is next.”

That would be INGENIOUS, but I don’t think Linda would be willing to give up his perch as the official ‘Divided Spokesman’ for the Republican Party.

I was going to note that as great as this guy appears, he is part of the Establishment that has STILL not figured out a way to get rid of Linda...which is the REAL PRIZE.

True, he is not W. He’s responded well to constructive criticism while on the campaign trail, so just don’t turn into the amen corner, OK?

I’m sure he’ll mess up. They ALL do. I’ve only voted for one perfect candidate since I first voted in 1971, when I turned 21.

Myself, when I ran for a city council seat in 1982.

He may not have begun as a politician, but he’ll become one on January 20. There never has been a perfect politician. I want Trump to succeed in implementing what he has said he will do. I do not want him to veer off into the weeds of compromise in the name of getting along, collegiality, whatever anyone wants to call it. Outcry from his supporters should prevent a fair amount of that. I do believe he’s well intended and that he loves his country, and our country. But, he’s from NYC and he’s going to DC. Neither of those environments are conducive to remaining conservative, and we do him and ourselves no favors by excusing or rationalizing, if and when he goes off the rails. So, no flippin strategery. Just no.

Insightful. She has governor creds now. Next on resume is U.N. ambassador, great media coverage to boot (vs where? oh, SC). Not many options for moving up.

Also got her out of S. Carolina. Now I can get my flag out and fly it again when I visit the CONFEDERATE cemetery.

Be a shame if he fired her quickly. And she couldn’t work in in govt for 5 years. Oops.

Brilliant move!
  1. Get Nikki Haley out of the governor's office
  2. SC governor gets filled with a real Republican
  3. Nikki becomes Ambassador to UN
  4. Nikki has to deliver formal US withdrawal from the UN
  5. Nikki has to deliver eviction notice to the UN
  6. Dinnertime at the White House, 6pm, Jan 20, 2017
