Chris Whipple on Trump, Priebus: It’s Been ‘Rookie Mistake After Rookie Mistake’

EXCERPT:

WHIPPLE: "Truth is that if you oppose everything Donald Trump stands for, then this is the White House staff for you. It's been rookie mistake after rookie mistake. No competent White House chief would permit an executive order on immigration to go out into the world without vetting it with the departments in charge. It’s been mistake after mistake after mistake. Priebus is clearly no Jim Baker or Leon Panetta. What you really need, and Trump of all people needs more than perhaps any other predecessor, is a grown-up in the room who understands Capitol Hill, who understands what Jim Baker used to call the — the centrifuge where policy and politics come together. You have to be able to execute the president’s agenda and tell him what he doesn’t want to hear.”
