re: Past time for a White House shakeup

There is little to nothing about the structure of even the executive branch that is conducive towards holistic, concentrated policy or action unless it is in line with the 'preferred course' of controlling interests. Because some of the administration's stated aims are antithetical to what I believe to be the aim of the bureaucratic/political class, I do not envision a scenario in which it can be effective without some seriously strong-handed tactics. Good showmanship, bait, trolling, etc., can only go so far. Much better to give orders rather than to manipulate the opposition in to a favorable position. How the frick that happens without totally upending our system of governance, I do not know.
