How It’s Going

Obviously, a lot of the things that [former] Rep. Gaetz did was disqualifying, but I think the tide has changed a little bit," Scaramucci said. "I think there's been a shape shift by the Republicans in the Senate. You know, they see Trump as a lame duck. They know there's one more election that he can have lots of influence on, which is the congressional election in two years, and I think they are fortifying themselves to block some of the things that he's done in the past, and so the Trump season, you know, this is 'The Apprentice: White House Edition' season two. I think the cast members up on Capitol Hill are ready for Donald Trump this time. I don't think they were as prepared as they are now, and I think the messaging [to Gaetz] was, behind closed doors: 'You're not going to make it, don't embarrass the president and withdraw.'"
With co-host Scarborough bluntly stating he doesn't think Gabbard will survive scrutiny of her record by Republicans and Democrats alike, Kay claimed her reputation among insiders likely precludes her from landing the highly sensitive intel post. 
"It's interesting talking to people in the intelligence community certainly but also in the national security side, but you're right, Joe, it is Tulsi Gabbard that's provoking more concern actually than [Defense Secretary nominee] Pete Hegseth is," she reported. 
"Maybe because people feel at the Department of Defense can work around Pete Hegseth," she elaborated. "Maybe it's because you still have the Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a national security adviser who can mitigate what happens at DOD in terms of that position. But Tulsi Gabbard – from what I have been told is that one thing she's not particularly famous for is keeping secrets." 
"There's an irony of putting somebody who has that reputation at the head of the intelligence community," she added.
"Do you know what happens when you fire a general? You create a legend," Scarborough told his panel. "When you create a legend you start lawsuits, you start about a three-year war against this general or that general." 
"It all sounds great, everybody's got a plan until what does Mike Tyson say, 'Everybody's got a plan until you get punched in the face the first time.' All of these things that people are flexing about, ''I'm going to go in, and I'm going to fire this' -- you know, you do that, you create a legend, you create a political opponent that has the entire country behind him and it makes things tougher."
Blood in the water. And a 1.7% mandate. 😈

    a 1.7% mandate, must be a perfect way to describe a date with any of the Trump men or those they hire from Cory Lewandowski to Pete Hegseth. I won't get into what Stormy Daniels said about her encounter with Trump but, him too.
