No, Archie… most realists now consider themselves “independent” and then hold their nose while they vote… “lesser of two evils.”  President Trump… as I wrote before… is running this country as its CEO.  He is applying “The Art of the Deal” to making America preeminent once more (aka MAGA).  I do not agree with some of what he does (e.g. tweeting).  HOWEVER, Hillary would have capsized our great ship of the Republic… and we’d be swamped.  The Constitution would have had its keel broken on the shoals of Hillary’s ambitions and greed.

The fact that President Trump is “churning” his staff is:  a) not unusual for a first term president and b) entirely appropriate for those who cannot support the boss’ final decision. 

Imagine asking for advice from a chief advisor and also several other very qualified sources.  In the military there is a specific format for this (so GEN Mattis knew the drill). 

Military decision brief format (I continued to use this in civilian life):

Once the boss considers all the information presented, he makes his decision. After he does that, every subordinate is required to support that decision and make it happen… no matter how odious the decision may appear to them.  There shall be no room for hysterical ranting or obfuscating the mission. The term for that is insubordination... GEN Mattis avoided that by resigning.  Good soldier!
