>>Who did Scaramucci remove?

>Spicer

Priebus

>>Effective?

>Yes, it stopped the leaks and step up the comms section for Sarah to take over

It also instilled fear in the WH staff, announced regime change, induced others to quit, and got Reince, the biggest leaker of all, out of there. IMO, transition to Sarah was goal #2.

>>Optics important?

>YES

And what were the optics of the Mooch? Remember this picture?

optic 1: Priebus is a beta male

optic 2: The Mooch runs this house and does not GAF about anything.

So the Mooch kicks everyone's arse with his steel toed boots, and then when he's done? Like a Mission Impossible message, he goes up in hilarious flames and is out of there.

Didn't like him? He did you wrong? Unpresidental conduct? No one GAF b/c he's gone.

Optics for those he terrorized, for changing public image, and for no one having to take responsibility for the brutality of his style.

Even his wife took him back.
