Core supporters? LOL! Trump's core supporters are white guys with tattoos. We like the bad language.
Nobody said draining the swamp was going to be pretty. You might want to close your ears while the adults deal with this ugly business.

It is the president's responsibility to rally the people around his agenda and motivate the people to let their reps and senators know what they want. Reagan understood that and managed to go over the media's head in a world with no social media. Trump thinks he can get what he wants by insulting people and so far it is not working.
Trump has no clue on how to build support on Capitol Hill. Are there people around him giving him advice and he is not listening or are those around him also clueless? We don't know. Is anyone really surprised McCain voted against the skinny repeal tonight. McCain will always vote against Trump when it is close after being humiliated by Trump last year. Flame away. I don't like McCain anymore than the next person here, but I do understand when you want someone's vote, you don't publicly humiliate them.
Trump breeds dysfunction and then lights the match and wonders why there is complete chaos in the White House.
I do believe the entire town is against Trump and he has a tough fight, but he has made it even harder. The whole town was against Reagan, too. One was strategic and surrounded himself with professionals focused on his agenda. The other is flailing, grabbing at straws and surrounded himself with family (who don't even agree with his agenda - why would a president surround himself with people who don't want to advance his agenda and actively argue against it? This is a fatal flaw.) and others who are focused on back stabbing, leaking and a new hire giving an interview so poisonous that it is guaranteed to make the White House even more chaotic. We now know why Spicer resigned immediately when he found out Scaramucci was going to be his boss. How many people here would want to work for someone like Scaramucci?
I voted for Trump and expected him to break some furniture and it is never pleasant business, but the furniture being broken is his own.
Well, we’re going to differ on this point. But thanks for your good reasoning.
I think social media is more than Trump’s tweets. And one function of the tweets do is fire up Deplorables and the grass roots networks that will ultimately win the day — perhaps when we get new blood in Congress.
Take a guy like Bill Mitchell on Twitter. He’s building quite a following and a new internet TV network. I think you’re going to see all sorts of grass roots MAGA rallies in the next year and a half.
As I recall Reagan, he didn’t have the advantage that Trump has with a majority (or almost majority) Congress. He had to fight Tip O’Neil.
Then again, Washington corruption probably wasn’t as deep as it is today so it requires more daring measures. I don’t approve of Scaramucci’s language, however, as the new guy coming into a leaking White House, he needs to show his toughness right away to establish authority. Later on, he can settle down somewhat.
Didn't you get the zot, about a year ago?
LOL - I’m not surprised at all, and agree with you.
I’m not at all offended. I just don’t think it was wise, for many reasons.
Bannon is not Danton. Rather he is Fouche, Napoleons minister of police, famous for saying, “it is not enough to merely kill a man, you must destroy his reputation.”
“Yeah.. Cruz lost... get over it”
I voted for Trump.
My advise is to stop talking about it, clean up the language and get on with firing them!
It was Sean Hannity that said during Thursday’s opening monologe, “He told me he thought it was off the record.”
They seek him heah, they seek him theah, the elusive Scarlet Pimpernel....
I had someone on here trying to tell me that Scarramucci was a Never Trumper. Mooch was NEVER a never Trumper. He was a Scott Walker supporter early on but once he decided to back Trump he was a full on Trump guy.
If supporting a candidate prior to supporting Trump makes you a Never Trumper then I'd guess about 75% of Freepers would be Never Trumpers.
It was I who just hit abuse on you. Just so you’ll know.
Really? You don't have to be an official employee to walk into someones office and say 'The President says to pack up your crap and get out.'
Are Scaramucci’s deleted tweets “fake news” too? I heard him on Wall Street week say he voted for Obama. Most of us held our noses to vote for Romney. A vote/campaigning for Romney is hardly evidence that Scaramucci is not a NE liberal.
If he has come to Jesus and now gets the job done, fantastic. But it’s delusional to ignore the fact that his history and positions have been left, liberal and progressive.
I guess people are forgetting that this is the land of federal regulations and unions.
If melania tells preibus he is fired...that wont be enough. I doubt he is fired at that moment..I also doubt scaramucci as a non employee can go into an office and tell Short he is fired...and that is enough at that moment
Over and over I see posts from people here that think the govt can be run as a business. Tons of regulations say differently
The use of the term "regime" tells me all I need to know about you. You're a Never-Trumper and you take the term literally.
I don't worship any politician. I sure don't faint when men act like men and take a no nonsense approach things.
Think about it.....what was the the top story yesterday. It was Mooch. Pushed to just below the surface was Trump's "no transgenders in the military" order. Hmmmmmm, works for me.
Presidential appointees serve at the pleasure of the President and can be fired at any time. It’s different for career people but not appointees.
