Trump had a window of opportunity when he was elected to mortally wound the Deep State Swamp and he whiffed. I don't completely blame Trump because it's a daunting mission draining the Swamp but Trump failed to vet a Swamp Incursion team before he waded into the Swamp and he's paid the price everyday since he was elected POTUS.


1.Do you think he (or anyone on his side) could have named every single person that was swampy??
IMPOSSIBLE.
2.What have we learned/seen since he's been elected??
How BIG the swamp is. Who we thought wasn't swampy that is swampy.
AND how many of the "lower layers" of our gov are swampy (all the underlings that were leaking non-stop in the beginning).

If Trump came in and wanted to clean the swamp right away...he would have no choice but to fire 98% of the people in all of these agencies...because he could probably only guarantee 2% that were there were on his side.

This type of warfare isn't easy...slow and steady will make the BAD ACTORS show themselves.

Agree with your post....you've got it! Effectively draining the Swamp would have required Trump to vet former Swampers who were willing to turn against the Swamp System.....very hard to do. I do believe if Trump could've/would've found a few dozen patriots and ex-Swampers to lead the invasion it's possible they catch the Swamp off guard and inflict serious damage before the Swampers got their shite together.....obviously firing Comey day one and removing several key bureaucrats from the DOJ/FBI/Intel agencies would have sent a clear and stunning message that Trump's not fricking around.
