#1 Carlson is hardly alone in his assessment.

#2 Perhaps the best example of Trump's fatal flaw.

He didn't know or understand the personnel game in the Deep State. Do you think he's learned how to pick good people now?

#3 ^ No

#4 When Trump won, he didn't know the players in DC and the games they played. He relied on Republican apparatchiks for personnel recommendations. In hindsight, both parties set him up to fail even before the election. If Trump wins (margin of cheating will be astronomical), it would be better to shun the DC swamp and bring in the business people and close friends he's known for years and trusts. Trump does not owe the Republican party anything. Obama had his Chicago mafia. Trump can have his construction mafia.

#6 Don't think Tillerson, Omarosa or Scaramucci were close friends. I am talking about people Trump has known for 30+ years, are his close friends and haven't tried to screw him. You only need a handful of them for cabinet positions and they can then seed their trusted people throughout the bureaucracy.

#7 I think the long game is to accept that we now live in a ~~low~~ no trust society and act accordingly.

#9 The means that use Race Bannon from Johnny Quest are the best.

#10 #7 Yep, and that era would include the gummint establishing the power to sexually mutilate your children without your knowledge or consent and yet, folks wake up every day with the notion that they can vote their way out of Hell On Earth.

#11 My biggest issue with Trump is that his choices for his team were crap. It's almost like "The Apprentice" was just a TV show or something.

#12 Gee. Imagine if gummint was much smaller. Might make it easier to populate it with at least marginally trustworthy people.

What would help most would be to dissolve DC. Distribute the offices all over the country so keeping their stories straight is more difficult. Desirable cocktail circuit needs to be outlawed. "Journalists" need to find out what wearing out shoeleather means.
