What you are watching is Donald Trump and his team fighting back and refusing to accept the lay of the land as it’s always been. Not the Republicans - only Donald Trump. Donald Trump is showing everybody in the Republican Party how it’s done. And in the process, Trump is illustrating all of the stuff that need not have happened all of these recent years if Republicans would have just fought back instead of being afraid of the media, instead of being afraid of the charge of racism. ....., and you can’t be called anything worse than what they’ve tried to call Donald Trump.

You can’t be accused of much worse than what they’ve accused Trump of being and doing. And has it affected him? Is he cowering in fear in the corner? Is he crying? No. He’s running out there and just cutting them down to size. He’s conducting a class in how this is done. It’s really a beautiful thing to watch, and that’s why people all over this country, when they see these things, are standing up and cheering.

And with every one of these attacks, such as this so-called intel brief tues night, every attack that fails makes it all that much more difficult for the next one to work. They’re shooting their wad here even before Trump has been inaugurated.

It really is fascinating to watch all this play out. Here you have Rex Tillerson. He’s not a professional politician. He’s running rings around these guys. And you know how he’s doing it? Honesty. Honesty and reality.
There’s nothing phony. There’s no staged, political answers. There’s no political consultant. He may be getting some advice here on things, but these are real people answering questions how they would be behave in their real world, and the people in the political world are just not equipped to deal with it. Their world is an entirely different world where phoniness and buzz and PR and innuendo and diplomacy define reality. And these are people from the real world with real people and merit based achievements and real problems that you actually have to confront and solve......not kick the can down the road for somebody else.

The media, again, and the establishment are just beside themselves that Hillary lost. They can’t explain it to themselves. It doesn’t compute. Trump should have gotten no more than 20% of the vote. They lived the entire campaign ignoring the polls and thinking that Trump was no threat and that Hillary was a goddess and was going to win in an electoral landslide.
It didn’t happen, and so it has to be because of some outside force. It has to be some suspicious outside force. It can’t be that they ran a lousy campaign. It can’t be that the eight years of Obama told the American people they don’t want anymore of this crap. It can’t be that Hillary was a lousy candidate. It can’t be that Hillary didn’t even campaign in states because she was so confident she was gonna win them. It can’t be that they didn’t know what they were doing. And it can’t be that Donald Trump was accepted and supported by so many people, because he’s not a,fake politician surrounded by conflicts of interests with lobbyists and donors.

Trump knows how to pick winners. Tillerson's strong demeanor and honest answers made lil Marco look even more little.

Excellent OP! Trump is changing politics as we have known it. And much for the better.

Trump is not a manipulator, and he doesn't like being manipulated.

Politicos are a disgusting lot.

the newer generations are not accustomed to what strong leadership looks like. for the past 10 years the media has obfuscated the line between bullies and leaders. Now these poor pajama boys are faced with a REAL leader whos frank and fair and they see him as a boorish bully.
