Trump's Conservative Dream Team

Posted on by Helicondelta

Donald Trumps education secretary nominee is a huge critic of public schools and has pushed to steer taxpayer dollars to charter schools and voucher programs. His Health and Human Services pick wants to dismantle Obamacare and privatize Medicare.

His attorney general nominee would crack down on "sanctuary cities" and increase deportations of undocumented immigrants. And his choice to run the CIA believes shutting down black site prisons was a mistake, while his national security adviser contends Islam is a threat to Western civilization.

Add them all up, and the president-elect is well on his way to building a conservative dream team that has Republicans cheering and liberals in despair.

Its the most conservative [Cabinet] since Reagan, said David McIntosh, president of the Club for Growth.

This is the shakeup that we need, said Adam Brandon, president of the influential group FreedomWorks. The conservative grass-roots movement has developed the bench, and youre seeing a lot of that bench coming out on the field now.

Youre never going to get a field this good. This is bases loaded with maybe one out. If you cant get a run or two home right now, youve got a crisis, he said. But what Im hoping is youll get four or five runs in.

Sounds like Politico is learning to dance to country music to avoid mass cancellations of subscriptions from government offices.

Trump might not be an ideological conservative, but he is appointing practical, common sense men and women to important posts. It just so happens that they are conservatives. Who knew?

This is by far the most conservative cabinet ever. But many freepers,mark levin,Cruz, beck etc assured us that Trump wasn’t conservative and that we should trust the canadian snake oil sales man that gave pretty speeches but no action cruz

Trump is keeping his campaign promises . This is the most conservative cabinet ever. The media is trying to say he’s going back on his promises so the media lies again

I went salt mining in the comments section. Was not disappointed in the least! So so many unhinged leftists wetting their panties. Kid in a candy store!

What does Conservative mean? There is an ideological war between protectionists and Corporate globalists. I do not see any protectionists being appointed so far with the exception of Sessions for AG.

Trump's attorney general nominee would crack down on "sanctuary cities" and increase deportations of undocumented immigrants while his national security adviser contends Islam is a threat to Western civilization. Outstanding picks. President Trump should issue the order at once. Church-connected authorized resettlement agencies (like Catholic Charities hich settled the Ohio Somali attacker here) are paid more than $1 billion per year by the federal government to resettle refugees......includes allocations for housing, food, education, and other financial benefits......... Muslim refugees are blanketed w / endless tax benefits including: -Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) formerly known as AFDC -Medicaid, -Food Stamps, -Public Housing -Supplemental Security Income (SSI) -Social Security Disability Insurance - Developmental Disabilities (ADD) checks -Child Care and Development Fund, etc etc etc See entire list at #16 https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/refugee-resettlement-fact-sheets/ ============================================ Under lawless Obama, our sap-happy government cannot even assure

Americans that it can enforce immigration laws already on the books. ============================================== NTL REVIEW/BY DAVID HANSON----The immigrant Muslim Boston Bomber brothers---riding the US gravy train accompanied by virtually every family member---offer us a teachable moment about what has become near- suicidal US immigration policies. LAWS CURRENTLY ON THE BOOKS BEING RELENTLESSLY VIOLATED: (1) foreign nationals in the US must at least avoid criminal activity, (2) foreigners must stay off public assistance, (3) the US govt is disinclined to grant "asylum" (means a free ride on the US gravy train and endless SS payments) to fearful refugees from war-torn Islamic regions, (4) on-the-book govt mandates that force struggling taxpayers to foot the bill for the refugees to go back and forth between America and their supposedly hostile homelands on the taxpayers' dime.

And JimRob yanked my earlier post about conservatives being concerned about Trump’s direction. I don’t care for his GOP establishment picks but on the whole he’s moving more in a conservative than a populist direction. Best Election Evah!
