I don't have any problem with Jared being his "listening piece." But he fails when he spakes. (-: Same with Ivanka.
Trump's basic problem is that his alt-R campaign promises and rhetoric have no place in actually governing. They are vitrol based on views of being in a minority that has been put upon by the majority. The minority cannot govern in a republic. Making it worse is the gop itself is divided between the teaparty/freedom caucus, the kochs and mainstreet republicans. Trump cannot appease them all at the same time. So, he has to have some dems to pass anything.
But Trump came out with Bannon calling the shots and insulting dems personally, and Mitch the Turtle poisoned the pond with Gorsuch.
Trump is trying to get off the Alt-R and Jared and Ivanka are the only ones he trusts .... with good reason. If he pisses of anyone who is a TPM, Koch or MSR, they'll leak on him, and anyone he appoints is gonna be from one of those 3 groups.
