Subject: Re: Thursday Chat 2/7/2019 by GRIS on 2019/2/7 15:02:13 #1 GRANDDAUGHTER, THE DOCTOR-TO-BE, WAS IN DC ON SOME SORT OF "RURAL HEALTH" BOONDOGGLE. WAS MOST UNDERWHELMED BY THE EFFICIENCY OF THE WHITEHOUSE STAFF. SEEMS TO ME TRUMP'S BIGGEST PROBLEM, ASIDE FROM THE UNENDING MALICE OF THE PERMANENT POLITICAL CLASS AND THEIR MEDIA SUCK-UPS, IS INABILITY TO PICK EFFECTIVE AND LOYAL SUBORDINATES. I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT GETTING THE RIGHT PERSON IN THE RIGHT SLOT THE FIRST STEP TO A SUCCESSFUL OPERATION. AND SPEAKING OF THE PERMANENT POLITICAL CLASS, HERE IS ONE OF THEIR POSTER CHILDREN: Mr. Romney arrives in Washington with a ready-made reputation as a tormentor of Donald Trump, which endears him to Democrats and the tattered, decrepit Establishment wing of the Republican Party. These Republican elites of yesteryear, of polished manner and gracious propriety, had spent years learning to lose with grace and dignity, and the bumptious Mr. Trump came on scene with his vulgarity and coarse manner and showed them how to win an election with neither apology nor penitence. A couple of Republican senators, replaced as of Thursday, fled but those still here need a leader and Mr. Romney nominated himself. WES PRUDEN AS I HAVE OFTEN NOTED, THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN MAKE THE REPUBLICANS LOOK GOOD IT TO COMPARE THEM WITH THE DEMOCRATS. |
