Scrum
Here comes Mitt Romney back from the dead.
And causing all kinds of shit to fly with the Trump team.
Republicans Divided Between Romney and Giuliani for Secretary of State
Me? I would like to see the Mitter get a shot at the job. He looks the part. Suave and debonair and still looking like he came out of a doll box. Wind him up!
Evidently a lot of people want the execrable Rudolph Giuliani, an asshole of "yuge" proportions who would probably piss off all the other diplomats in the world.
A statesman he is not.
Now, a dark horse comes up on the rail, one or even two ex-generals.
In the middle is the failed Newt Gingrich. Another piece of work. A slug. Meddling and pushing his way into the scrum. Choosing sides. A bit unseemly, eh?
Here we have the struggle for the Republican Party in a microcosm.
Let's review.
Trump is a RINO. A Republican in name only. Always has been. No ideology. A pragmatist. Yeh, also a blowhard and egotist. But now he is our blowhard and egotist.
The "alt-right" is not going to like a lot of things Don does and with Mittens we have a shot or two over the alt-right bow.
Then, out of the blue, apparently unbidden, comes Gingrich, an opportunist. A bit cheesy compared to the other guys. Becoming a volunteer advisor.
It is interesting to watch Trump as a manager. This comes from my professional past. He is pretty good at setting one subordinate against another and letting the fur fly. Awaiting results.
So far, after the pain, I have to say that the upcoming Administration will be interesting to write about.
I suppose that I might way here that unlike others, I do not think the Clintons should demand a recount. Yes. She has a historic lead in the popular vote, but haven't we had enough of all this? I have.
