"Somehow, I don’t think Newt Gingrich and Jeff Sessions are going to steer Trump wrong."

Thank you for your concern Spirit of Liberty.

I admire Speaker Gingrich. And I think that Trump has praised both Gingrich and Sessions.

H O W E V E R …

After all the crap that the unconstitutionally big federal government has put us though in the last 100+ years, especially since the FDR Administration, the only people that I wouldn’t challenge knowledge of Congress’s Constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers is James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and other pro-state sovereignty founders.

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if many FReepers now know more specifics about the fed’s Section 8-limited powers than Gingrich and Sessions do.

Speaker Gingrich with the mother of unconstitutional Obamacare. (I hope FrumForum is okay in Free Republic.)

Bill Mitchell-

A great negotiator makes his enemies believe it is in their own best interest to play by his rules. That's what Trump is doing.

Bill says it best. And to answer to your question -I'm not here to hold your hand and walk you through the transition. Your the one with doubts on President Elect Trump's negotiating abilities and knowledge of the constitution and selecting people who will best serve our great country. I suggest you take a vacation because President Elect Trump has this transition covered . Stop wasting my time on your insecurities about our great President Elect.

[Spirit of Liberty]

Well now, I didn’t say either one was perfect. LOL But a lot better than some other choices.

I don’t expect Trump (or any of the people around him) to be flawless. He wasn’t a flawless candidate, and he won’t be a flawless President. He’s not as conservative as I would want. But I seem to recall him stating that gay marriage (or was it abortion?) was a state’s issue, not a federal one. So he seems to be off to a good start.

We’re not going to turn this ship around in one fell swoop. Trump will have to give some here to get something that he really wants over there; that’s the way of a negotiator. He’s fighting an uphill battle with Congress, on both sides of the aisle. He has a narrow path to steer this ship of state through without running it onto the rocks.

Are you Mark Levin in disguise??

Chris Snyder-

Trump in statement: "Steve and Reince are highly qualified leaders ... now I will have them both with me in the White House".

These two have been strongly behind Donald and I'm happy to hear he has them near.

Ali Vitali-

A source w/ knowledge of Reince CoS pick told me last night: "Instead of draining the swamp, we just put in the head alligator."

Does the transition count as President Elect's Honeymoon Time? If so someone needs to tell Ali. Retweeting is her accepting message.

[SelmaLee]

I can’t wait to see Ali’s face, when RSBN waltzes in to the first presser :)

[Spirit of Liberty]

Also....that gets Reince out of the RNC head seat, leaving room for someone else to fill it....

[Amendment10]

Thank you for your patience with this discussion.

"Your the one with doubts on President Elect Trump's negotiating abilities and knowledge of the constitution and selecting people who will best serve our great country."

I don’t know why you are characterizing me that way since I have never questioned Trump’s leadership abilities. I supported Trump because of his patriotism and proven management skills.

Trump can wear a big “S” on his shirt if he wants to. But I still expect him to fly in a jet.

Also, I will repeat the following question from previous post since you didn’t address it.

"And with all due respect NIKK, without looking, can you tell me why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I?"

Why don’t you start asking you family, friends, and co-workers why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I? And then post in FR how they responded.

My only critique against Trump at this point is that his response to the question will probably not be any different than that of you family and friends. (My family didn’t know what it is.)

In fact, Judge Andrew Napolitano will read Section 8 to you in under three minutes.

Judge Napolitano & the Constitution

The following excerpts help to clarify what Section 8 is.

• “Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• ”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

[Amendment10]

"Are you Mark Levin in disguise??"

No. And I’m not a big Levine fan. But I’ll accept that as a complement anyway. I’ve learned a few things from Mr. Levin.

Consider that Trump has had no choice but to surround himself with state sovereignty-ignoring advisors, because that’s all the the post-FDR era colleges have been turning out imo.

In fact, although Trump has stated (paraphrased) that he used to be an "assimilated government borg,” he now at least thinks that he has been unassimilated, and he will be with the help of us patriots and Section 8.

When People Laughed At The Idea Of Trump Actually Being Elected President! Compilation

[STARLIT]

The judge explained well. Also its what the federal government did get away with thanks to both parties. Apparently it can be hijacked very easily.

I remember an argument I was having with my Pen-Pal last year who lives in England. My argument was we had a Constitution to protect us whereas she didn't. After I wrote that statement later that night it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was preaching to her and later realized my country was no different than hers. It was then I started having doubts that our country would never be able to turn around. Donald stepped on the scene and I prayed he was the hope we needed. It was like God was listening and he made a miracle happen in front of my eyes.
