What a great move lifelong New York liberal Donald Trump has made in naming Scaramucci his Communications Director. 

Liberals serve liberals.

In 2008, Scaramucci served as a fundraiser for President Barack Obama.

He was National Finance Co-Chair for Mitt Romney for President in 2012.

Unlike Ted Cruz who never worked for Goldman Sachs, Scaramucci began his career at Goldman Sachs where he worked from 1989 to 1996.

During the 2016 presidential election, Scaramucci first endorsed Scott Walker and later Jeb Bush.

Of course none of this will matter to those who blindly follow the Orange Glorius.

Wise choice, Mr. President.

Apparently you haven't heard the news.  Goldman Sachs is okay now.  Fund raising for Obama is not okay.  Need to look that up.

I've been trying to cut the person you cutely refer to as the Orange Glorius some slack for six months now.  I just wish it wasn't so trying.

As CathreineofAragon reminded us was Trump's pledge: "Only the BEST people......"

That is correct, another Republican.

Because that is all that matters.   Doesn't matter if the wannabe rulers are big ass Liberal Socialists, as long as they play for "the team".

The GOP has been overrun by liberal Democrats wearing their uniforms and they don't even see it because.... 'rah rah the team flag!'.



Only the 'best' people.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

That's easy: loyalty and a desperate desire to have an official position.

I would think that loyalty, or rather...lack thereof, would be a reason NOT to hire him.  He obviously supported Obama at one time.... just as Trump supported Hillary Clinton at one time.....oddly enough, right about the same period of time (?).  Apparently,  loyalty is highly overrated these days... judging by their actions vs. their words.   Either that, or there is a whole nuther agenda going on here.  Which... was my biggest fear all along (ie during the primaries).

Desperation goes a long way.  Besides, Trump probably figured he'll get what he wants first, and can easily throw Scaramucci under the bus first when he so desires.

I've said before I'd take it...it's very similar to what I do in the Army at my rank.  I'd pattern myself after the way Tony Snow handled the media.

Tony Snow ... what a great guy.

His support of Walker is the only inconsistency in his politics.  He is a liberal with a history of supporting liberals, which makes him a perfect fit for the lifelong New York liberal Donald Trump.

I think he was probably drawn to Walker for fiscal conservatism.

First, the gun control tweet, and now this?

Quote
June 2015 Anthony Scaramucci, a leading fundraiser four years ago for GOP nominee Mitt Romney, told the AP that he's already committed to helping Walker raise money.

"Walker's more focused on doing the right thing than trying to fit in," Scaramucci said recently in Utah, where he introduced Walker to former Romney donors. "I don't see the other guys having the same backbone."

Good grief.  Equating the Berlin Wall with a wall protecting our southern border from illegal invaders?   Asinine.

Walls DO work.  Which is why even leftists use them for protection and security, even while they're being hypocrites about that and everything else, including gun ownership.

Trying to bridge the gap between how the press and some members of the public see Trump over how he's viewed internally.  Good luck.

True to his outward appearance, Scaramucci ingratiated himself to the press corp by comping their room and meal, offered front row tickets to the show, then went to the kitchen and insisted the chef put the same amount of blueberries in each muffin.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

This is what happens when self-identifying Conservatives give themselves over to a cult of personality and make a lifelong NY Liberal Democrat their "Conservative Ruler".

Those of us who actually voted for a third party Conservative because we saw all of this coming, are just 'enemies of the good'.

They meanwhile comfort themselves with "at least it's not Hillary" and "We got Gorshuch".  Nothing else matters. 

I guess that will remain the high water mark of Trump's Conservatism in the GOP and we will get to enjoy Trump Tweets and circus of liberals for the next 4 years.

Conservatism as we warned will be relegated to the dustbin of history as Trump helps us all embrace our greater Socialism for the swamp he has NOT drained, but made more Goldman Sachs insiders the caretakers of.

Scaramucci apologizes for 2015 remark calling Trump a 'hack'

 By Jordan Fabian - 07/21/17 02:50 PM EDT
   

President Trump's new communications director apologized for his 2015 comments calling him a "hack politician."
 
Anthony Scaramucci, a Wall Street financier, said that Trump "brings it up every 15 seconds" but claimed it hasn't damaged their relationship.

Scaramucci deletes old tweets bashing Trump

 By John Bowden - 07/21/17 05:55 PM EDT
   

President Trump's new White House Director of Communications Anthony Scaramucci went on a Twitter purge Friday, deleting years-old tweets bashing his new boss and supporting positions like gun control.

One of the deleted tweets referred to the Trump campaign as a "spectacle," which was pointed out by a reporter who was swiftly blocked by Scaramucci.

With all of the leaks, leakers and betrayals.... appointing the Mooch seems a bit insane to me.

2008 donations...

Then.... in 2010 it was suddenly all Republicans, except for Kathleen Rice.  How does that happen?  Can anyone trust ANYONE that supported and/or donated to Barack Hussein Obama?  I sure as hell can't and won't.....

ever.
