As OP I am exercising my privilege of slapping the forum around a little for thread drift. I ask a very simple question because I have a very simple question. To listen RP supporters his election will be the cause of all kinds of things associated with the millennium. Rescue of the republic from the clutches of the <insert political boogyman of choice>, reassertion of constitutional government, and magical appearance of good tasting fat-free donuts.
Being the practical kinda guy I am I ask myself, "Self, how's RP going to pull off all the wondrous events he is purported to want to do?" Just walking into the Oval Office seems insufficient to me. Seems to me he will need the assistance of at least a few assistants at least from the outset, at least until he can begin the dissolution of the welfare state as he has promised.
I want to know
who RP will turn to to help him implement his agenda.
What are their backgrounds.
When did they begin their government experience or appropriate analogs.
Where did they come from.
Why were they chosen by RP for the task they were assigned.
How will they implement their task based of previously identified experience. I am particularly interested in seeing the kind of organizations with which these individuals are affiliated. Are there universities he'll draw from which were never considered? Are there think tanks he will deplete? What law firms will surface.
I don't suppose anybody knows the answer to that question for any of the candidates.
Wrong. Talent stables of both parties are pretty well known. They consist of predictable universities, think tanks, law firms, PR companies, media organizations, publications, and NGO's. RP's talent stable is unknown, yet a president's agenda is shaped by those he enlists to help him.
I'm ask because RP is a human being and as such he will need help until the unconstitutional bureaucracy magically melts away. To focus our discussion even more so, someone just give me an idea who will show up at cabinet confirmation hearing. We'll leave the subject of judicial appointments to a later thread as well as who in congress will front his agenda.
