I tried to post the original Politico version but Free Republic wouldn’t let me, apparently due to the site’s left wing bias. But is it any worse than the WaPo, the NY Times or so many others?

DeMint is a very good man just like Sessions. Hoping the President picks him up and adds him to the team.

Better to convince Graham to retire and have DeMint replace him.

This might make for interesting fodder on the upcoming Hannity Show in about 3 minutes from now.

Agree. Demint is a good man and would be an asset in Trump’s administration.

Would not surprise me if he has been tapped for the administration. With all the subtle sabotage being done at the Congressional level the thinking might be that DeMint can straighten that out.
Just a hunch in connection with the recent Trump/Drudge meeting.

One story is that DeMint was taking the GOP-E line on the repeal of Obamacare while Needham is a straightforward repeal advocate.
But anytime the Kochs are involved (they heavily finance Heritage), I always suspect an open borders vs. enforcement fight, with the Kochs on the open-borders side.

Appoint Lindsey as ambassador to Fire Island, or some such place.

I wonder whether this is a coup by big donors?

Too bad, DeMint was a good person to run Heritage.

Butting heads between two strong personalities is nothing new. Usually one person has to go.

Better to FORCE RYAN out and put DeMint in as Speaker. Speaker can be anybody. Does not have to be member of the House.

No big deal. Heritage has not been successful at what they are trying to do. Make America better. Just review where we are today. Heritage has failed, big time.

Anything legal that gets rid of Ryan in favor of a savvy Trump supporter would be a blesssing.
Think Ryan is Leftist Catholic. Orthodox Catholics not ideologs. Tend to true conservatism. Leftist Catholics tend to Dems. Think Pelosi.

Let’s hope he goes against Graham and goes back to the Senate
