Sounds good on the surface, but it should be remembered that the msm will treat someone well for one of two reasons:

1) they think fawning all over you will weaken your resistance to them and cause you to bend to their will in the future, or

2) they already think you’re one of them.

My bet is they will eventually be sorely disappointed.

Anthony Scaramucci made a positive impression with the media in his first press conference ... Vogue editor Elena Sheppard, complained that "Scaramucci is actually terrifying ..."

The press's "positive impression" is BS. Sheppard has the right idea. The press fears Scaramucci, and because of that, they also loathe him. The disdain is barely hidden.

They haven't figured out how to knock him down just yet, but the notion of "positive impression" is nothing more than expressing respect his communication skills.

“I’d go more with self-assured.”

Strongly agree.

Big difference between that and ‘slick’.

"His personality came across to me as very “slick” and people like that have annoyed me for years"

I don't trust Scaramucci as far as I can throw him. This is the same douchebag that called Trump a "hack" and a "bully" during the primaries.

-- I'm thinking he's going to train the WH staff to be better at how they express themselves. --

Yes he is. Some of that rubs off just by interacting wit him, "contact capability." He's also going to teach them.

The press has started to label him as "slick," and that is not meant to be a compliment, it is meant to infer dishonesty.

-- I can't watch Chris Wallace anymore. I hope Scaramucci ate his lunch. --

He did. Even better was vs. Tapper.

At the end, both Wallace and Tapper looked petty, childish, stupid, and vindictive.

-- This may be heresy but Sarah Sanders comes across as a bit of a try hard with her contrived poker face. --

She may be that. Can be plenty of reasons for that sort of behavior. Some people are overachievers by nature, others feel it is necessary in order to advance, sometimes just to hold the job - insecurity at bottom. Scaramucci will put her at ease if he thinks she has the chops. He'll be a huge comfort and help to those with sufficient ability. The better she gets, the more at ease she'll come across.

Spicer was competent too, but he came off to me, occasionally, as nervous and stiff.

-- After watching Scaramucci, I can understand why Trump wanted him. He's very good. --

Tapper tried the same trick, hypocritical Trump, hypocritical Scaramucci, and so on.

Scaramucci pointed out Churchill and Reagan moving from DEM to conservative, and that it is normal for people to change and adapt, and to attack them as hypocrites is cheap and dishonest.

I imagine you don’t trust Kellyanne Conway either.

Sarah is going to be a superstar with Mooch to mentor her. Her temperament blends well with his and more importantly with President Trump and the American people. Sarah is a mom and the look on her face when the media attacks is priceless. American men feel protective of her and American women are proud of the way she stands up to to onslaught

I think they will do a fabulous job.

I wouldn't characterize her style as douchbag, but she was critical of Trump when she was working against Trump, for the Cruz campaign.

"extreme"
"not a conservative"
"a man who seems to be offending his way to the nomination"
"has literally bulldozed over the little guy to get his way."

Scaramucci has similar excuse, having worked for Trump opponents, and as Scaramucci noted this morning, one of his attacks appears to have been "hitting back" at Trump, who was slamming investment bankers, of which Scaramucci was one.

Well... I would say they are both political opportunists, without much attachment to the agenda that Trump ran on, i.e..... not true believers.

Look folks, the real, true news of this day is the following, the Democrat Party is dying, killed by its own self-inflicted wounds (Obama & Clinton have vanished to the local, if not foreign cesspool habitat). The Democrat Party...it has no cash. The Media is the laughing stock of the country, with now, “zero” creditability and, Special Council, Robert Mueller is killing whatever respect and creditability he ever had. Game over...end of story!!!

And...to boot, Mr. Scaramucci wiped out Jake Tapper & Chris Wallace in one fell swoop, without even breaking a sweat!!!

From the posting of a lot of his prior social media, it appears that Scarr is either a lier or a flip flopper. In the not too distant future, Trump is going to regret this appointment.

“Anthony Scaramucci made a positive impression with the media in his first press conference”

That worries me.
