How the Trump administration is shaping up as of now: With the exits of Flynn and Bannon (from the NSC), It looks like conservatives get to run regulatory policy and national security. Pruitt (at EPA), McMaster, Mattis, Haley, even Perry. I'm happy about these people. It takes a weight off my mind they're there. It's not what Trump planned, of course .. Flynn and Bannon were his first choices. But the Russian stooges and Mr Alt-Right are gone or neutered (soon to be really gone for good). Bannon said Trumpcare was "shit." But he told the President to keep a conservative enemies list of those not voting for it. That proves he's ANTI-conservative, in fact regardless of what he may say. Furthermore, he turned his crappy site on actual conservatives during the primary and boosted the untrustworthy fraud now sitting in the Oval Office ..okay, it's a weekend so he's not there now. Domestic and economic policy is being run by Democrats. Actual Democrats. Mnuchin, Cohn, Ross, the Kushners and a few more I can't think of right now are all lifelong liberal Democrats. These are the kind of folks Hillary would've appointed. The Kushner's raised money for Corey Booker and Kamala Harris just last year. None of this is a surprise - Republicans knew domestic policy would be run on Democratic lines when they nominated him. Ivanka introduced a new federal daycare entitlement program at the Republican convention. Donald said dozens of times he liked Canada's and the UK's health care, "We gonna take care of everyone and the government will pay for it." For this reason, we shouldn't have hopes that we'll get another conservative SC justice. The promise made was only for Scalia's replacement. We should expect him to seek to maintain the balance on the court. As I've said a hundred times, even if he were an actual conservative, Ivanka will never let him defund Planned Parenthood or change the SC conservative-liberal balance. His liberal daughter has more influence on him than anyone and she always will. Nothing can change that. Finally, regardless of whether he lets conservatives run parts of our policy, he remains a man of low character combined with serious mental and emotional disabilities (NPD, ADHD). We would be better off if he were replaced by a sane stable conservative like Pence.
