Will Trump appoint establishment errand boy Tom Cotton to head the CIA?

Does this mean the the alleged war with the Deep State is over and lost? Or, does it mean there never was one?

Or is this like when The Donald was talking about appointing John Bolton, Mitt Romney, and Rudy Giuliani to cabinet positions?

Why not fire the entire agency and appoint all new people?

I imagine Gov. Bacon stroking hanging out on the beach, having a good aneurysm laugh about all this.

Do not even think about it. This is not a Wal-Mart. These people have been vetted and know a lot about the family business. The way to do it is to smash a head or two at the top and make sure everybody else behaves.

Cotton wants to get tough on the goat herders being held at Guantanamo Bay. He's a real tough guy. A real man's man.

Cotton is 100% groomed AIPAC agent. Trump has no problem whatsoever with AIPAC.

He's a good man. Served honorable, very educated and a great fiscal conservative.

I think he'll be Trump's hand-picked successor in 2024.
