Ben Carson outlines qualifications shift in Trump's VP

[NZ Poke]

The Ben Carson video takes a little set-up to understand the back story.

The candidacy of Donald Trump has forced the various factions within the GOPe to reinforce their bunkers. Each group now trying desperately to retain their influence and affluence, as each group has experienced sunlight on their intentions.

This is a very positive outcome. Because as anyone who has ever engaged a large and complex organization will tell you – effective executive leadership first needs to understand the internal working networks within it. This approach includes understanding relationships before effective leverage is applied to modify the organizational goals.

Within the DC UniParty power and self-serving financial influence groups we generally find:

• Donohues Clan – Those who encamp with a priority of: The Wall Street agenda, spending, and immigration. [Ryan, Flake, McConnell, Rubio, McCarthy, Pelosi, Reid, Grassly, Portman, Whitehouse, Murray, Cornyn, Bennet et al].
• The War Mongers – Those who encamp with a priority of global financial benefit from interventionist activity and military contracts [McCain, Graham, Ayote, Corker, Feinstein, Schumer, Durbin, Collins, Blunt, Cotton, Burr, Hatch, Royce, Engel et al].
• The Litmus Clatch – Those who encamp with a priority of Crony-Consitutional / Moral authority [Cruz, Lee, Scalise, Huelskamp, Manchin, Paul et al]

Within the various camps – House and Senate members may blend in/out depending on the days topic and the current political agenda. Each representative trading votes and support outside their ideological group for favorable future outcomes on subject matter within their preferred circle of influence.

Donald Trump’s successful nomination is giving rise to a new group that is unfamiliar to the current clans. The Common Sense Fiscal Patriots & America First Nationalists.

Bold choices are being forced upon a disconcerted professional political class, and there is no current reference map for what rules and guidelines are needed. Hence, turmoil….

"Crony-constitutional" never heard that term before but the implication to me is that it consists of a special group of constitutionalists that benefit greatly by following said constitution at the chagrin of all others.

Also, I'm not fond of the term "America First Nationalist" for a multitude of reasons. I'd much prefer "America First Patriot" which on its face may seem somewhat redundant. But it's much more palatable and doesn't imply advancing its own self interests regardless of the oppression it may require against other nations or people.

NZ, you post some enlightening material. That said, anything at this point from Ben Carson is one level lower than my cancerous right tit which was "donated" for research at St. Francis back in '07.
