Did Nick Ayers refuse to be Trump's chief of staff because he knows Trump doesn't have much time left?

I think he refused it because he’s a sane human being.
I don’t like Mike Pence and I think he is a lousy excuse for a leader in any political capacity, but Pence seems to be a rational human being to work for. He seems to understand how government works, seems to have some decency when it comes to treating people who work for him right, and isn’t crazy.
If I held the same political beliefs as Pence does, I’d probably work for him without any problem. I can see why people would work for Pence, and why if Ayers resigned, there’d be a line ten deep to succeed him. Working for a VP is a feather in your cap.
But Trump is just a nightmare. He listens to no one, yells at people over stuff that he caused that they have to clean up, lies to people, and will throw you under the bus.
And of course, he’s in a lot of legal trouble, which is probably making Trump crazier than he usually is.
Why would anyone sane step into that mess?
Ayers is a young man, under 40 I believe. He’s way too young to ruin his career and jack up his personal finances working for a criminal like Trump. He already has a good gig: working for the VP who happens to be a sane person who doesn’t have the mental and emotional level of a two year old. Ayers can wait for the next Republican president, and that person might well be his present boss if Trump resigns or is kicked out of office.
So in what rational world is it a good idea for Ayers to take the job?
I can’t for the life of me figure out why people with solid political credentials and experience subject themselves to that stuff. Nick apparently can’t either, and good for him. He probably saved whatever political career he has by saying no to that shitfest. |
