And David Axelrod, President Obama’s chief strategist, tweeted Thursday that the Trump campaign isn’t behind at all:
We hadn't made any major appointments at this point in 2008. I don't remember being criticized for it. https://t.co/3yXvA8g6bL

For all of the yodelers in the media and on CD about the lack of speed of Trump's picks which to you and the media means chaos, Obama was elected November 4, 2008. Here's when he made his big picks. Remember anyone complaining about him dribbling them out and how it meant chaos? Remember anyone whining that he didn't make his cabinet picks quick enough? Yeah, me neither.

The majority of his stated promises are completely unachievable. A good example is term limits for congress. Basically lots of promises. And the people he has been looking at for positions is a who's who of corruption, with a hefty dose of nepotism. He's probably just been told he cant hire his relatives, and is finding ways to put them into power without any obvious pay.
Seriously.....I want to give the guy a chance, but he keeps acting in ways that tell me that him being president will....present learning opportunities for us as a country.
If only you'd had the same scrutiny for the last guy, whom you voted for twice.

Maybe people on the left will learn to not jump to conclusions based on nothing. Maybe rioters will learn that damaging people's property won't gain them any support. Maybe people will learn to not cry and have panic attacks over an election.
