The next play by the media will be to lie and attempt to erode Trump supporter's faith in Trump. They are afraid of Trump, and if Trump loses support, Trump won't be able to execute, which means they no longer have a reason to fear him.

I haven't heard anything about this from anyone who actually represents Trump. Just bullshit from wannabes and their people

'Drain the Swamp?' Trump's Potential Cabinet Fills Out With Washington Insiders - NBC News

'Despite his campaign pledge to "drain the swamp" in Washington and his outsider campaign, however, many of the prospects are clear Washington insiders. ', "As the reality of a Donald Trump presidency settled in Thursday, Trump's transition team continued to fill out their list of potential cabinet picks with new names."

'Hensarling weighed in on the chatter with a statement saying "serving in [Trump's] Cabinet is not something I've indicated an interest in and it's not something I am pursuing" — but notably he didn't rule it out. '

'Mike McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, is being considered for Secretary of Homeland Security; former Michigan Rep. '

'Trump Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway, considered a possible pick for chief of staff or a senior adviser in the Trump White House, left the door open to both. '

He still has to govern and get things done. You need qualified and experienced people for that.

I myself never thought draining the swamp meant he would appoint unknown people he met at stop and greets to important cabinet positions.

I think the demotion of Christie who is part of the Swamp is a good step in the right direction. Now if he starts appointing people involved in corruption scandals, I am all ears. But Pence, Carson, Conway, Thiel, Bolton etc. are all pretty clean and great choices IMO.

Seems to me, if you want to drain the swamp, you need people who know where the drain plugs and hidey holes are located.

Agreed. This is exactly why we should get Hillary as our president.

Well, I wouldn't consider HRC as being a swamp drainer. She's a denizen.

Certainly to some degree, Pence was a great choice.

But it depends entirely on the extent and intent here.

While a fair enough criticism, I see the same publications shitting on his Breitbart buddy, which one would assume they would praise if his other choices are so terrible.
