It's not like we had evidence that he was the most hilariously corrupt individual to ever run for president before he was elected did we?

Oh wait, we DID.

He was the joint most corrupt individual to ever run for president. The other one was running at the same time.

Arguable. We could prove his corruption, and he admitted to his corruption, while hers was merely asserted a lot.

I think this is a good thing because in this case people who surround him are experienced and know what they do but if he would surround himself with anti-establishment people that no one has ever heard before I think there would be more to concern about.

I can understand having some more establishment figures in there, given his lack of experience. But one of the reasons Trump did so well was because he offered a change to the status quo. If he's going to be surrounded by establishment then there isn't that change.

It probably depends how much influence those people have over Trump or are they just going to do what Trump tells them to do. But it is certain that he needs establishment figures who are able to get things done because they know how things work in Washington DC.

I imagine they'll have quite a lot of influence. He's got experience running a company, but running a country is a lot different. He's unexperienced and possibly out of his depth, it'd make a lot of sense for him to delegate responsibility, or at least heavily rely on the experience of his cabinet.

I just hope the people who voted for Trump are getting their eyes peeled to whatever news organs they're subscribing to. Maybe this time they'll... I don't know, take a hike? They listened to Trump while he spun his shit -- maybe they'll actually check out what Trump has pulled out of his ass.

Maybe.

Then they'll find themselves out of the job. Trump is the leader of the Republican Party now, if he says he can't work with the majority leaders then they'll lose their positions.

That would be NSG and its always-mandatory source links. It's actually a great way to find out some of the top things - without having to listen to some idiot talking head yell at me out of a screen for two hours in the process with opinions I'll only ignore anyway.

So absolutely nobody thinks Trump is capable of ordering the National Guard into Congress and having things passed at gunpoint? Y'all are more optimistic than I am.

Even if Trump order that, I doubt the National Guard would comply.

Trump can't do that. And even if he did the military could refuse such an order or the VP and the cabinet would declare him to be mentally unfit and remove him.
