Discussion: Schiff: Trump Needs 'Some More Adults In The Room,' Not Miller Or Gorka

More adults?
An outcome devoutly to be wished, but what self-respecting adult is going to climb into the cage-room with El Bufon?
It’s not safe.

“And I think for that reason at a minimum we need the very best people around him in the White House,” Schiff said…"

Adam, I like you, I like you a lot. I’d love to have you as my congressman. Which is why it breaks my heart to tell you this. But you could have fucking Ghandi, FDR, Winston Churchill, and Nelson Mandella advising Trump, and he’d still be bleedin’ Trump!!

Yes, but at least Trump wouldn’t have his preferred advisers, like Stalin, Timurlane, Hitler, Pol Pot.

Here is something which doesn’t surprise me in the least. I also noticed that Gallup is up slightly for Trump since Cville.
I think it’s not just racism, but the support less thoughtful people feel for a strong, unwavering leader. Trump will NEVER gain approval by moderating his tone: the rest of us already know who he is, while his supporters won’t forgive him.

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard for at least 6 Centuries.

You’ll hear it every day in Uzbekistan! I saw Timurlane park in Tashkent—minus the pile of 1 million skulls, of course.

Could be just noise in the time series.

Schiff has my respect, but with a petulant, erratic child in the position of being the ultimate decision maker, it doesn’t matter how many adults are in the room. The child has to go!

It would not matter at this point.
No pivot . no change EVER

Of course, but many were predicting he would tank, possibly even below 30. There’s no evidence of a dip.

IIRC, one of the Boston Bombers was named after him.

Don’t remember, but it’s a very common name around here, as is the local version of Genghis Khan, which is Shyngyskhan.
Not that we have any Caesar’s in the west, right?:slight_smile:

Not surprising to me, at least. I always thought that 30-35% was his base. Scary.

Does he look any worse today than he did one week ago? For me there is not one bit of difference. For his supporters it is probably the same.

The popularity of the name “Adolf”, has, not surprisingly, taken a hit since mid-century.

Trump needs constant adult supervision. Kelly 24x7.

The only places you can find Hitlers are Ohio and Russia (Gitler).
