1. Horse Pucky!

So far the President elect does not seem to have anything to the left of center, even though he has several Republicans on his team. The hawkish Hillary as SOS is worrisome.

2. LOL, yeah, I don't think he does, hard as that is to believe!

I think he's pretty secure about what he's doing and where he wants to go, and a bunch of us venting and opining isn't going to send him into a tizzy of indecision!

5. Well, yes, he should do what he thinks is right, & he should lead. All leaders, tho, should listen

All leaders should listen to the public. If they don't, they don't get re-elected, and they don't usually do what the public elected them to do.

So he should stop, look, & listen to the people of the country. Why wouldn't he? And then he should make his own decisions, based on his particular knowledge and advice rec'd (he will have knowledge that the public doesn't have). Which he will do.

All is well.
