She counts the white caps and completely misses the undertow. Fortunately most Americans are smarter then you about what’s good for the country.

Kobach? You mean the incompetent version of Jeff Sessions? His ideas are about the same, only his execution is much worse. It certainly fits the chump administration theme of failing up.

No. He got the job to crack down on non existent but widespread voter fraud... and failed... SPECTACULARLY. Last night he was sent packing by the folks in Kansas who got sick of being asked what’s wrong with them for electing GOP dolts and assholes.

That asshole walked into Trump Tower to pitch his top secret plans for the first 365 days with those secret plans in plain sight.

Energy security?
Banking reforms?

bambuland just had a royal commission into the banking/financial industry.

A royal commission is a major ad-hoc formal public inquiry into a defined issue in some monarchies. They have been held in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Saudi Arabia. - Wikipedia

Hayne royal commission: Banks confess to forgery, bullying, sexual harassment

The release of the original summaries of a decade's worth of misconduct by the banks have cast new light on poor behaviour from the big four banks revealing previously unheard details about fraud, bullying, sexual harassment and data breaches.

He would be trump’s perfect attorney general, with the possible exception of Duncan Hunter.

Speaking of that job, now that Jeffery has been dragged on for more than a year by his lovely ex-boss and abandoned by his colleagues and his party, one can presume he has strolled across the street and continued to unburden himself to Mueller.

Finally...likely too late to stay in office...the bambuland Conservatives have TOLD the energy companies what's gonna be happening.
...instead of asking them to do things.

"Stop ripping off loyal customers by only giving new customers the best deals...or else." 

"We are setting a base price you can charge for energy...stick to it...or else."

"Or we the govt will acquire your companies!"

“New Yorkers, we can spot a con man,” James, the first African-American and the first woman elected to the office, said to a cheering crowd in Brooklyn. “We can spot a carnival barker. I will shine a light into every dark corner of his real estate dealings, and every dealing.”

My post goes back to where candidates were being considered.
Just for background.
I doubt you are pleased with anyone Trump ultimately chooses.
Seems to me, though, he might be thinking more on Executive Orders on Immigration with Courts now that he has Courts with new Justices deciding the Constitutionality.

No. GOP has shown us how to stymie and attack a good President and great American with only a hold in Congress. Now they have provided a terrible president and a real bastard scoundrel for the office. He should be made to feel the full weight of his copious sins and be stopped from doing as much as can possibly be stopped. He’s the Whitey Bulger of our political system.
