True.

Here's what I really would like to know - but I would be surprised if a reporter today would dig and find out:

How helpful has Obama's WH been to Trump's transition team?

GWB reached out to both campaigns well before the ELECTION to make sure that no matter who became the next president, the transition of power would go smoothly.

I would speculate that Obama's WH did nothing of the sort and will continue to do the bare minimum.

I agree and we already have evidence of that.

Supposedly a letter from Pence was needed and not received to due some clerical mixup.

Obama WH response to that is report to the press rather than call the Trump team up and let them know it hasn't arrived.

And "speculate" is all you are doing.

It wasn't the Obama administration that shook up the Trump transition team.
Things were already underway with Christie - everything was signed, etc.

Yeah, they've got their acts together.
Not.

If Obama's WH had reached out to give any kind of guidance I'm sure we would've heard about it - in fact, Obama probably would've received another Nobel Peace Prize for it.

Obama's transition team was extended a hand early on by the Bush White House - can the same be said for this transition of power?

Here is a real gem for those who want to throw around the "reality TV" memes about Trump:

Top Obama Aide Recalls Tensions of 2008 Presidential Transition - Management - GovExec.com

Quote:
...the Obama White House planners, after Election Day 2012, found themselves mulling whether protocol required them to seek the resignations of Obama’s entire Cabinet. Then they realized, according to then-Cabinet Secretary Chris Lu, that they had all gleaned that “best practice” from an episode of TV’s “The West Wing.”

You mean the pattern where the 'disarrayed campaign' actually won the election? Indeed, I see that.

The report about Trump's transition team's supposed chaos and cluelessness came from MSM media, no surprise there. What surprises me is how the Anti-Trump group still believes the same fools who predicted Clinton's victory that never came through. What a bunch of sore losers!

Who even listens to the MSM anymore? Trump proved them 100% wrong time after time.

Does not matter where people live. Where are their votes counted?
Does your brother hold more voting power than, say I do?

no.. he doesnt, your response is meaningless..
