"You're Fired" — 5 Out — 4 On Deck: Take A Number Have A Seat Standby

X's Out: Miller up, then Conway, Coin Toss for 3rd and 4th

(My Pick: Tillerson then Sessions)

I read the George Will piece (link below), so I see Stephen Miller, a major W/H adviser to Trump on deck. 

Watch the short slip below (about 3:30 minutes) wherein Miller is ripped by Stephanopoulos on ABC This Week and tell me differently. Miller should not be anywhere near the White House let alone advising Trump or any other president for that matter.  

Now the fine piece by George Will at the Washington Post – Miller the same subject. It is truly a good read and especially with this attention-getting, eye-popping title:

George F. Will: “Sinister figures lurk around our careless president”

A few highlights from the article:

“Trump’s energy, unleavened by intellect and untethered to principle, serves only his sovereign instinct to pander to those who adore him as much as he does. Unshakably smitten, they are impervious to the Everest of evidence that he disdains them as a basket of gullibles. He understands that his unremitting coarseness satisfies their unpolitical agenda of smashing crockery, even though his self-indulgent floundering precludes fulfillment of the promises he flippantly made to assuage their sense of being disdained. He gives his gullibles not governance by tantrum, but tantrum as governance.”

“Trump is, of course, innocent of this (or any other) systemic thinking. However, within the ambit of his vast, brutish carelessness are some people with sinister agendas and anti-constitutional impulses. Stephen Miller, Bannon’s White House residue and Trump’s enfant terrible, recently said that “in sending our [tax reform] proposal to the tax-writing committees, we will include instructions to ensure all low- and middle-income households are protected.” So, Congress will be instructed by Trump’s 32-year-old acolyte who also says the president’s national security powers “will not be questioned.” We await the response of congressional Republicans, who did so little to stop Trump’s ascent and then so much to normalize him.”
