Turnover isn’t bad. With this logic the firing of a position coach by the head coach, regardless of cause, would be a sign the the team as a whole is a joke.
I agree with you on the turnover, but what scares the Rand Paul wing of the party is Trump trying to curry favor with the neocons. With all the corruption at the FBI, DOJ and the issues we've seen with the FISA court that have directly impacted the Trump campaign and administration, you'd think he'd appoint an NSA director who wasn't a rabid neocon. You'd think if Trump was America first, you'd think he wouldn't appoint an NSA director who wanted us at war with half a dozen countries simultaneously.

It was pretty obvious this was going to be the case during his campaign. You need a certain level of self-awareness that Trump lacks in spades to be a good president. He's also just not a competent administrator in any sense of the word - it's why I told all my lefty friends to put away their feinting couches after he won. The guy isn't good enough at this to really do damage to their ideals.
He's going to do permanent damage to the party that will take a generation to undo. It's what I've always feared most from his presidency: not what he has done and will do, but the considerable damage that progressive Democrats will do when they begin accruing then consolidating power (in '20) starting in November of this year.

I'd rather Trump remove the pieces that inhibit the goals for which he was elected than to keep them on the job because they're buddies or he's worried about outside opinions. The same can be said for any administration, D or R.
If anything it makes me wonder how many appointees have stayed in their roles simply due to the fear of 'bad optics' or cronyism at play in past admins. You know with all of these egos and big-thinkers involved there most definitely have been some major cases of butting-heads in DC that were never fleshed out, it would only be natural.

I’m right there with you. The writing is on the wall and it doesn’t look good at all.
Our only hope is the FISA stuff. If that doesn’t happen we are gonna have a full blown progressive government in 2020.

As far as I can tell hes been killing it. All while having the totaly bogus collusion skyscreamers on msm 24/7.
How many presidents would be getting anything done with this kind of sideshow going on. Yet he has accomplished a great deal.
Oh yea, and hes got a porn star and playmate clamoring to tell the world about the fact they spread em for whats supposed to be hitler.

It needs destroying. The Republican Party's biggest fear is an actual conservative. It's why the party hated Ron Paul. It's why the neoconservatives ran out the Robert Taft Republicans and the paleocons like Pat Buchanan years ago. Trump at least has shown the degree to which the two-party system is an illusion and that Republicans are nothing more than controlled opposition.

He's gotten a tax cut through without even attempting to address spending. He won't address spending because he knows that truly taking a sword to the federal budget means a hard and direct impact on his primary constituency: older white people. Other than that, nothing he's done has any permanency. It's the Obama executive model on steroids with a whole heaping of brand damage for good measure.

Only 2 years after W left office with a 27% approval rating (lowest in history), the republicans gained the most seats in a midterm election since the 1930s.
There is no evidence that "brand" damage" exists in American politics. Voter are fickle and have short memories.

A lesson the Democrats are coming to grips with (and seem to be having a tenuous peace with, at least, given post-16 results and candidates) is that having a big tent is a damn good thing. You need your moderates, your paleos, your neocons, and everything else to get legislation through Congress. Otherwise, I will never get on board with ideological purity.
Dems got crushed because they imposed ideological purity tests for things like abortion, and they paid for it. Frick that non-sense.

In his defense even if he wanted to cut spending there’s no way in hell thats happening with this joke of a Congress.
