Conway: Trump will drain swamp — but retain D.C. insiders

Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, said Sunday morning that “the gravy train is about to have its wheels blown off” when the Manhattan billionaire assumes the presidency in January, and that shakeup will happen regardless of who fills some of the key roles in his administration.

The president-elect built his campaign around his outsider status, pledging to “drain the swamp” in Washington of the politicians and lobbyists who he railed against throughout the race. But his transition team includes familiar political faces like former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), along with a collection of lobbyists. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, hardly a Washington outsider, is reported to be at or near the top of the list of candidates to be Trump’s chief of staff.

This actually makes me relieved. Last thing we want is a bunch of trumpians in there.


Or should we make diamond and silk secretaries?

Newt Gingrich is the perfect symbol of "drain the swamp".  He's only been in Washington for 40 years.
