Priebus out - Kelly in -- Order in the House!

[Cow Poke]

It can't work.

Yes it can.

Am I optimistic that it will?

[Cow Poke]

I think those who wrote off the White House as "lost" may have underestimated Kelly.

We shall see.

[Tassman]

Yes it can.

Am I optimistic that it will?

Well at least you're realistic. But as I said above, it's Trump himself who is the cause of the chaos and dysfunction in the White House. It's symptomatic of a narcissistic personality disordered person such as Trump.

Well at least you're realistic.

Actually, both of our prejudices are at play - you can't stand Trump and want him to fail, so you're going to see the worst possible outcome. I, on the other hand, manage to barely tolerate Trump, and want him to succeed because failure increases the chances that the liberals take back congress.

But as I said above, it's Trump himself who is the cause of the chaos and dysfunction in the White House.

I don't dispute that at all.

It's symptomatic of a narcissistic personality disordered person such as Trump.

But it's possible that this last week was enough of a wake up call, and Kelly is a strong enough influence that Trump can try to behave himself for a while. I'm cautiously optimistic. A little.

[Carrikature]

Yeah, somebody has to be.

I always thought he was a bit of a weenie, even when he was RNC.

I'm not sure "somebody has to be" really covers less than two weeks. That's like saying someone has to be the heaviest person ever recorded. While true, it doesn't convey the 1400lbs the title requires.

He will finish...

....Even worse then....

But it's possible that this last week was enough of a wake up call, and Kelly is a strong enough influence that Trump can try to behave himself for a while. .

It's not a positive sign when Ivanka tweets Kelly to say she "looks forward to working alongside him in the White House".

I'm cautiously optimistic. A little

Desperately optimistic more like it!

Desperately optimistic more like it!

Nope - exactly what I said. It will be what it will be.
