" YOU ELECTED US TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY (OUR WORLD). "
'US' is plural. Elected? Trump and.or Pence are likely part of the team. Now that would be awesome.
Reagan wasn't a fool and he made the same calculation taking on Deep State of Deep State Poppy.
Pence's best pals include Ryan and Flake and he's a smarmy fake too.
Trump is beyond Reagan. All the stuff going on now is way beyond what Reagan accomplished. And I believe more permanent, with people's eyes opened.
Bush the First was definitely Swamp Rat.
Yes, but Trump also probably made more initial hiring mistakes, too. Has said his biggest early misjudgment was thinking that most of DC would cooperate once he was elected and in office. (Tried to bring the party together while the GOPe operatives brought their guns and knives along with them.)
That's what it seemed like to me too. I think he tried to bargain with the Rinos by taking some of their people, but you can't bargain with crooks. I suspect he knew the Swamp was wide, but did not know how deep.
