Bannon and Scaramucci hate each other. Bannon is supposed to have said “Over my dead body will you get this job!!”

Bannon is right to be concerned about him. For one thing this Scaramucci guy is no fan of the 2nd Amendment:

We (the USA) has 5% of the world's population but 50% of the world's guns. Enough is enough. It is just common sense it apply more controls— Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) August 6, 2012

Really don't want anyone pro gun-control anywhere near the WH.

...but how hard is it for some of you here to just say he made a mistake letting in Preibus and this is the fallout of that?

Some of you around here are itching to keep throwing stones at Trump whenever something isn't "perfect".

This presidency is unlike any on modern history. Trump has had visceral resistance not only from the outgoing administration, but also from his own party. We have not experienced this before.

I doubt any of us fully understand the enormity of the job of being president and getting a new administration in place and working as a team. Under normal circumstances its a huge task. When you have the entire establishment (and media) fighting you every step of the way, it's close to impossible.

I'm absolutely amazed Trump won the election. I'm further amazed he survived the transition given the Intel community fighting him, the media fighting him, his own party fighting him and Congress fighting him. Despite this he's managed to get a lot of things done so far.

He's still far from completing the construction of his team, largely because of obstruction from all sides. But... he's making steps forward, and this is just another step.

Trump is just now reaching the point where can finally jettison the "support" he's been getting from the GOP insiders. Until now, their "support" was far from perfect, but the only option available to him.

I’m not talking about her VOICE... ;-) There are a mute and closed-caption button for that!

Besides, Huckabee-Sanders’s southern/midwest drawl isn’t the most appealing either.

I would say he is good for the current environment. Anthony Scaramucci is the guy who got CNN to retract and apology for a fake news smear they ran on him.

Now leaky Spicer is showing his hand publicly.

Do you really think Spicer was leaking info? They would screw and tattoo him at the podium. Why would he do that? I’m really serious about this because I just can’t see it.

She dresses quite normal and modestly — I rarely if ever have seen her with low-cut necklines.

It is just sitting hikes dresses up a bit. She does NOT dress like a “whatever.”

I’m not itching to throw anything, I’m just not part of the cult.

Of course nothing is “perfect” but in reading two of your dissertations now you reveal that Trump is “perfect”, it’s everyone else around him that’s flawed.

To be human is to be imperfect. To be president is to be imperfect. They are one in the same.

I would ask you to explain the three Dem donating, Goldman Sachs guys that are now embedded in his circle along with his son-in-law and all the liberal family baggage he brings, but I’m sure that would result in a “MAGA” like response.

Let’s hope this “construction” effort is almost over.

I didn't say he's "perfect". I'm just a realist.

Perhaps you don't realize that a lot of Trump's initial staff, put in place before he even took office, essentially had to be approved by Obama.

These jobs require security clearances, as well as the "ethics" reviews. There were being done by Obama's people.

In the past outgoing admins were respectful and helped the new admin quickly and smoothly get staffed up and ready to begin. The Obama admin did just the opposite.

Put another way, Trump is now at a point where he can hire a press secretary that HE WANT'S and not hang on to the one Obama said he was allowed to use.

So what your telling me is the man who takes no orders from anyone, who’s a captain of industry, who’s unlike any other president who ever served.......is just like every other president whoever served.

Subject to procedures and protocols that allow for bad decisions to be made.

Spicer was not an Obama appointee, neither was Cohn or that Munchkin guy. Certainly Ivanka and her husband are 100% Trump’s problem.

Mistakes are natural. Trump is not immune to them.

Laura Ingraham’s speech at the GOP convention and her addressing the MSM was a stellar speech and she pegged them.

Priebus and Spicer are the epitome of establishment Republicans and Spicer being tossed out the door is a good thing and Priebus will probably soon follow once Trump realizes more and more the Republican establishment is just as corrupt, just as dirty and just a socialist as their Democrat comrades and they do not want to represent the American people or the country only their corporate masters.

If Trump fires Preibus and eventually Mulehead I predict the establishment will panic and actively seek to take out Trump with violence. I pray for the Presidents safety daily.

As do I. And I believe that your assessment is correct.

I haven't seen any of these people as a "problem"... perhaps the establishment does, but I don't care what the establishment thinks. The president is the boss, and if he implements things I don't like I'll be glad to express my opinion. I don't expect that I would agree 100% with any other human being on 100% of the issues... I'm sure I'll dislike some things Trump does too. So far I like Trump's trajectory and overall direction... certainly much more than I would have liked

And, if you think Trump controlled all the processes/people that allowed this incoming president to have his first choices in place on day one then you haven't been paying attention.

I watched the Super Bowl this past season, and things looked bad for the Patriots after half time. If Brady's teammates had lost focus, turned on him and the coach at that point... they would have lost the game. They stayed focused, and won.

Trump's not even up to the first half of the first quarter... I'm on his team and looking forward to a great game.

Goldman Sachs good! Wasn’t during the primaries but awesome now. Ok.

At least there’s consistency.......or maybe not.

That’s why I say he needs someone who knows where the bodies are buried.
