[excerpt JANSING So what ░░░░░░░░ it colonel that is ░░░░░░░░ General Kelly s DNA ░░░░░░░░ makes him think he ░░░░░░░░ succeed where others have ░░░░░░░░ This is an incredibly ░░░░░░░░ man He has to ░░░░░░░░ that for example someone ░░░░░░░░ president praised repeatedly Jeff ░░░░░░░░ SHAFFER Right JANSING he ░░░░░░░░ on His daughter has ░░░░░░░░ to have little or ░░░░░░░░ moderating effect like in ░░░░░░░░ ill considered tweet on ░░░░░░░░ service members SHAFFER Right ░░░░░░░░ And and while Trump ░░░░░░░░ tweeted touted himself as ░░░░░░░░ deal maker apparently the ░░░░░░░░ straw for Reince Priebus ░░░░░░░░ the failure of health ░░░░░░░░ What makes General Kelly ░░░░░░░░ clearly has seen all ░░░░░░░░ think I can succeed ░░░░░░░░ others have failed SHAFFER ░░░░░░░░ two things I think ░░░░░░░░ s coming in without ░░░░░░░░ preconception of how it ░░░░░░░░ be And look I ░░░░░░░░ heard Andy Card earlier ░░░░░░░░ all due respect to ░░░░░░░░ Card it s that ░░░░░░░░ wants to manage from ░░░░░░░░ This was the way ░░░░░░░░ was this is the ░░░░░░░░ it should be It ░░░░░░░░ t I think General ░░░░░░░░ accepts reality fro what ░░░░░░░░ is and he s ░░░░░░░░ to manage from that ░░░░░░░░ of point of view ░░░░░░░░ along that line there ░░░░░░░░ things he can do ░░░░░░░░ are some things he ░░░░░░░░ t do and I ░░░░░░░░ he s going to ░░░░░░░░ able to figure out ░░░░░░░░ quickly based on his ░░░░░░░░ what he can and ░░░░░░░░ do And the other ░░░░░░░░ Chris he has which ░░░░░░░░ think others have not ░░░░░░░░ noted as much as ░░░░░░░░ should he was actually ░░░░░░░░ as the U S ░░░░░░░░ Corps senior officer on ░░░░░░░░ Hill from 2004 to ░░░░░░░░ during a very tumultuous ░░░░░░░░ post 9 11 and ░░░░░░░░ on a number of ░░░░░░░░ issues So I think ░░░░░░░░ General Kelly has been ░░░░░░░░ been able to understand ░░░░░░░░ to navigate in this ░░░░░░░░ and be effective in ░░░░░░░░ this town I think ░░░░░░░░ s something Reince Priebus ░░░░░░░░ really was able to ░░░░░░░░ Look he had a ░░░░░░░░ deal of political experience ░░░░░░░░ dealing with Republicans but ░░░░░░░░ don t think he ░░░░░░░░ how to work the ░░░░░░░░ of all the government ░░░░░░░░ s something General Kelly ░░░░░░░░ had to learn to ░░░░░░░░ not simply the Marine ░░░░░░░░ but how DoD works ░░░░░░░░ the State Department works ░░░░░░░░ other things work And ░░░░░░░░ do believe where he ░░░░░░░░ direct influence or understanding ░░░░░░░░ think he ll have ░░░░░░░░ wisdom to reach out ░░░░░░░░ someone to help him ░░░░░░░░ that that out So ░░░░░░░░ think that s where ░░░░░░░░ s going to succeed ░░░░░░░░ others have failed.”
