Perhaps your demonizing of good men is a bad idea, do you suppose?

Re: Trump Staff Picks
They have collectively "demonized" (your term...not mine..I prefer deplorable) themselves by their actions and words.... I didn't make them say or do a thing. They made all their choices and statements on their own.....and they are judged by me..and so many other people..as deplorable....because of their actions and statements...
The end.

Re: Trump Staff Picks
We were speaking of Romney, a decent man demonized for partisan reasons. The effect is to intimidate good people from politics, leaving ego maniacs who can ignore the attacks.

Re: Trump Staff Picks
I would agree with this, the us vs them partisanship on both sides has certainly helped to bring this about. There was some interesting commentary about this election and how the American people have become so tone deaf by the right and left crying 'wolf' about the other sides candidates that they didn't hear when we have a real 'wolf' show up and now he has the presidency. And ego maniac who can ignore the attacks sounds like a good description of Trump, thanks for that.

^ Yes, from Bill Maher who definitely doesn't tend to hold back, even if be the wiser course. I'd like this advice be equally applicable to voices on the right who demonize any Democrat in a similar scenario.

I think the guy who plays the press secretary on Designated Survivor would be a better press secretary than Ingram.

Re: Trump Staff Picks
One lesson that Trump should have learned from Obama is that you have to appoint people who will do what you want rather than what they want (I'm thinking especially of how he said the federal government would go really easy on marijuana, but his Justice Department totally ignored that).
Maybe he'll employ his famous two-word line if they get out of line.

Re: Trump Staff Picks
I said he was sane....and not totally bad. That is a compliment.
I have no respect for him or Utah as they poured a lot of money and manpower in California to make sure we were second class citizens. I hate Mormons for that...always will.
I do believe he is sane though....and not an outright liar or traitor..and not a white supremist...and since the bar has been lowered so much...he qualifies as not entirely bad....

Re: Trump Staff Picks
Thanks for that link. I heard a snippet of this on the tube but didn't catch much substance. The substance is scary.

Re: Trump Staff Picks
Romney is one of the few, maybe the only, pick that seems palatable.

Re: Trump Staff Picks
"Palatable" merely means "doesn't totally make me barf". Consider a restaurant whose food was just palatable -- it would flop.

Re: Trump Staff Picks
The point is that they aren't good men in the first place.
They may not be bad enough that I would get up and leave if they came into a restaurant where I was eating, but they come close.

Re: Trump Staff Picks
Romney was not "demonized for partisan reasons", he was justly derided for referring to some half the U.S. population as essentually worthless.

Re: Trump Staff Picks
It's all relative.
It sounds like you're actually saying that the system, currently on the verge of flipping another component Republican in January, is entirely rotten...which it is.
Also, having Romney as somebody in the Cabinet is NOT the same as having them for President, but if the 2016 election had been Trump versus Romney, I would have voted Romney in a heartbeat. Again, it's all relative.
Catastrophic or apocalyptic is certainly a lot worse than, just merely, "awful."

Re: Trump Staff Picks
Hell just about anybody would, why would an rational president want a bomb thrower like her as Press Secretary?

Plus he was from a fairly cultish religion, that counts against him for many.

Re: Trump Staff Picks
Kind of puzzling, but then again, it's the Trump way to do things: Nikki Haley, governor of South Carolina, 44 and the daughter of Indian immigrants, apparently is the Trump choice for UN ambassador. It's not John Bolton, so thank goodness for that, but no foreign policy experience whatsoever(and a few trips abroad as governor hardly count as qualifications). This and the choice of Ben Carson at Housing and Urban Development(said to be waiting on his decision to accept or not early next week)just strike as odd choices for key positions.
