Ok, they won't select someone for one of the most demanding jobs in the world who is shomer shabbos.

Wouldn't b the first if I'm not mistaken. Also it's a terrible idea to hire family for that kind of job. It's asking for some serious family trouble

Here's a prediction: In two months from now, we'll all be shocked at how normal a person Trump is. In six months from now, we'll almost have forgotten the crazy campaign season of 2016.

I would like to make another unpleasant prediction. In a couple of months people might be reminded that Trump is not really a conservative. Let's just hope that Congress does the right thing over the next two years, and that Trump's cabinet and other appointments turn out for the good of this country.

Jared may be one of the WH counsel to advise the Chief of Staff. This would allow him his family and Shabbat time.

Congrats to Jared Kushner, Chief of Staff. You can take it to the bank!

You and your predictions

Agree with this one. I'm an avid Trump supporter - but Trumps softening, unity message and kissing up to pres Obama has made me think "this is not a conservative outsider". Since he won he sounds more like an independent Washington insider.

Please convince me that I'm wrong.

He's just trying his best to start off with a clean slate. Definitely not a hardliner, but I don't think he'll be anywhere close to liberal with his disdain of the media, and his very conservative advisors. If he's taking his advice from Rudy Giuliani, who got elected in and really cleaned up liberal NYC after Dinkins, I'm not too afraid.

Yes. I'm willing to forgo on his baggage/personality if he will fix things in this country. I believe he can be successful - since he's been successful most of his life in business and in most things that he pursued including the presidency.

So if he starts to take council from Obama - then this whole thing shatters down. He didn't win because of this type of behavior. He won as a "clean the swamp" candidate.

But I still have faith in him and believe that he'll do a good job. I hope that the reason he's acting like that now is because hes new to this whole presidency concept/workflow and wants to learn the process. Once hell be comfortable with this - hell be a little more himself.

What's the big deal if he works with others?
That's what he was elected to do.

You only want a Washington outsider before an election, so they don't owe favors to those that help them get elected (and continue the same old agenda). Trump was as much an outsider as anyone, now that he won he can do his job without rubbing anyone's backs.

His imigration, economic, anti terror etc. policies are very conservative.

For all those that are complaining about voter turnout, voter suppression, electoral college vs popular vote etc. It would be very interesting to see how elections would pan out if all states would award Electors similar to ME.

I have a hunch that a lot more people would vote in states like NY, CA and MD, and that some of the Electors would go the other way.

Romney would have been president.

Economic? How so?

Either way, what exactly do you expect him to do? Go over to Obama and punch him in the nose?

If you want to be convinced, I'll give you a good argument.
