Who will be the first to go?

[dimreepr]

Ok, so two MEAGA's, one dark and one light aren't going to fall out, got it.

On that very tentative premise, if we can get back to the topic question; who, from Trump's initial choice's will be absent by the midterms?

Will likely be simpler to name who will still be around at that time

 Are you keeping a tally of predictions? Mine is Trump, followed by all of his cabinet and advisors.

nope...

it's more a bet of foundations.

 Gabbard will stick around, if confirmed. Trump likes having Russian assets around.  

He has applauded her sympathetic takes on Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad and Putin.  Her complete lack of qualifications on national intelligence will make Trump feel more secure - easier to mold to his own shape, especially on Deep State loathing.

Isn't it strange that we all see 'the on coming storm', but no logic can explain why we believe...

Sorry, my friend thought he was being funny when my back was turned 😣; it was on the back of a half digested thought we were discussing.

The oncoming storm, we know it's coming bc it's happened before; but it's seen through the filter of our elders, who 'survived it'  but tend to exaggerate (I nearly died, if I stood over there) for the sake of a good story.

The reality was, for most of them; it rained a lot and if I was outside I would have got very very wet.

It's the old why can't we learn from history and apply it today?

Well, all right then; the thread's been changed to a weather forecast. I'm old and have seen storms enough to know this one has never happened before.

Gaetz is already gone, and others who have been named might not be in consideration come January 20th. Are we including them?

That wouldn't be fair. The race shouldn't start until they're all in the gate.

I agree, which means this is all premature. But for “who will be the first to go” of people named (not actually taking their post) then the answer is Gaetz, game over, all done.

Not intentionally. but ok; no storm has ever happened before, but we can certainly see similar patters and extrapolate, they do it everyday on morning TV.

Fair enough, you win... 🙂

I did. I stand by my prediction that the first casualty will be Trump - I'm thinking March 15 - shortly followed by all of his appointees, to be replaced by the understudy and his appointments. And that storm can't readily be extrapolated from precedent. Johnson was a well-known quantity; Vance is a cypher.

I suspect SecDef nominee Hegseth will be next given stories of significant and serious alcoholism problems on top of stories about his own mother saying he was a horrible man (tho Trump a teetotaler himself looked passed drinking problems with Rudy Giuliani).
