I think some people are starting to realize that going with Trump is likely going to amount to career suicide.

Take Conway for example. She has quickly gone from sought after Republican strategist to laughing stock. Granted, she will likely write another book and make tonnes of money when all this is done, but I doubt too many high profile politicians will be chasing her.

Well Conway went from has been to greatest strategist ever when Trump won. Now she is burning that capital but he earnings potential and influence significantly improved by hitching her wagon to trump. Her worst case outcome is being where she started.

But isn't a better strategy to find some reasonably experience lacks to do the work for you.

Are you kidding? She put Drumpf in the White House. She can write her own ticket.

I don't think money is her driving forces though. She was wealthy and accomplished before all this. I think she likes the power and control. I am willing to bet her closet is full of dog leashes and PVC. She probably even has one of those orange balls with the straps. I have to admit, part of me wants to watch her put on stilettos and stomp on hot dogs. Don't tell me you wouldn't let her spank you.

When this is all done, I doubt any politician save for maybe someone like David Duke, is going to want anything to do with her though. The Trump stink will stick IMO.

She chaired the campaign of Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin. She once suggested rape wouldn't exist if women were as strong as men. She even worked for Ted Cruz once. Don't worry, she's gonna have work when this is all said and done.

Definitely but can the Democrats do that job. We'll see.

CNN saying that there were 4 hard no GOP votes against Puzder and believed it could go as high as 12 no votes from that side of the aisle. Slowly some senators are getting a backbone.

Also this:

Quote:
Trump, spotted by reporters, stopped in front of a blown-up photograph hanging outside his press secretary's office.
"Look at this," he exclaimed at an image of his inauguration, taken from the Capitol and showing crowds appearing to stretch far into the distance. "Where did all these people come from?"

He's going to be talking about the size of his inauguration crowds from prison.

It will be a real Arkham Asylum moment.

Scandals and stupid tweets aside, Trump also proving a complete idiot when it comes to actual presidenting as well.
