♦In Part-I we explained how legislation is actually constructed in 2017. NOT how most people think it is constructed – SEE HERE
♦In Part-II we explained what that modern reality means with a Trump administration, and what will be needed to overcome the corrupted swamp – SEE HERE
The final paragraphs include accepting the reality and pondering:
[…] President Trump is not going to sit and wait for congress to evolve in their ability to turn away from existing lobbyists hanging around to defend their interests. Sooner or later President Trump is going to do something dramatic to break the impasse within the broken legislative system.
Considering that Trump is not a politician, that “something” could get rather ugly.
For all of these reasons it just makes sense for Jim DeMint to join the Trump administration. DeMint could be a great Chief-of-Staff replacement for Priebus, or DeMint could be the COO inside DC to guide the architecture of legislative constructs that are in line with Trump’s policy objectives. Jim DeMint and Mike Pence are strong allies and good friends from all earlier battles on Capitol Hill.
Jim DeMint would be a natural asset to the administration because the battle has now evolved beyond party affiliation and the UniParty, including the GOPe, must be confronted if any success is to be achieved.

Jim DeMint would be a great asset.
Another two I'd like to see brought in are Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. They seem like they'd be loyal and pretty good at bringing more pols and media over to the Trump agenda.
Parts 1 & 2 are absolutely crucial reading. Part 3 is specifically about the role DeMint might play, and the battle within the Heritage Foundation.
If so, they should be linked for the convenience of the reader.
I wish Santorum would run for Senate (PA). I guess he’s too afraid he’d lose again but we got nothin’ & election’s not that far off.
I tweet and begged to no avail.
No, they don’t. No one in public school beginning in the 70’s is aware of any civics. They’ve not a clue as to WHAT our Constitution states - and just to know we have one would be a shock to their rock solid knowledge. Students today are less knowledgeable than those who graduated high school before 1970.
We either teach civics to our students or we will lose our country completely; if we’ve not already done so.
Demint is a good man. Would be a real asset to Trump.
True, that. Sound out people who graduated after 1975. They have no idea of the knowledge they're missing.
That should be a crime. We keep this up and it possibly might be. Few graduates have a clue about our Bill Of Rights, Constitution, and the articles to our Constitution.
They would love to but us behind bars only for the fact we don’t agree with them.
Is it too much to ask for that he replace Ivanka?
“Is it too much to ask for that he replace Ivanka?”
And her husband Jared! Both need to go back to NYC and do “other things.”
Thank you so much for doing that ... I was called away for a while...thank you, that does help...

I have no doubt at all about this. Any understanding and appreciation of the Founders, the Constitution, our form of government, and our glorious history that young people have today has been derived from sources OTHER THAN the schools they’ve attended.
“Students today are less knowledgeable than those who graduated high school before 1970.”
That is a dramatic understatement. I graduated FROM high school (that’s how we said it back then) in 1962 and well before I graduated I had to be able to write out the process for how a bill went through congress and how it could be vetoed as well as how a veto could be overridden. We had to be able to write out the process for amending the constitution in detail. I suspect that we knew more about how the government was SUPPOSED to work than most current members of congress. Of course I don’t remember it all now but when some detail is mentioned in a news report it comes back to me.
One thing is certain, by the time we finished high school my classmates and I had a far better understanding of the REAL meaning of the united states constitution than the supreme court has expressed in many of its decisions since then.

Amen! To that. We’ve an entire generation of dodo birds who will be running for office and taking oaths (which have been shown to be absolutely meaningless!)
