“Lip service, yes. Actuality no. Anecdotal evidence state and local GOP apparatus sitting on their hands.”
If Trump wins he will have thousands of appointed positions to fill between November and inauguration day in January. Likely he will fill the top cabinet and agency slots from people he knows but there are thousands of lower level appointments that typically go to establishment figures and hangers on. If Trump punishes the establishment, where is he going to find and vet people, who will enthusiastically support his policies, in just a few weeks time?

Like Steve Jobs, Trump has a lifetime of making contacts and friends at all levels in the socioeconomic hierarchy. He will have no trouble at all in finding competent people to turn our government around. None at all.
Not only that, but I’d love to see him rub it in the faces of the elite. For example, appoint Diamond and Silk to the Civil Rights Commission. Those two women have a surplus of common sense and knowledge of what is right and what is wrong, and it would be delightful to see the Dems try to oppose these two black females.
Besides, do you REALLY want Trump to reach down into the ranks of the GOP traitors and reward them with jobs for stabbing we the people in the back for decades, and thereby perpetuate their power?
