Newt Spills: 'Swamp' Talk Was Just For Show

[Eloy]

She never promised any of it. Trump did and that list is getting g pretty short before he's even sworn in.

Feeling used yet?

Well look what Obama did, transparency? Nope. No lobbyists, that was out the window. Close Gitmo? Lol!

Sorry people stupid enough to believe Obama would follow through, shouldn't berate people stupid enough to think Trump would follow through.

I am not an expert in these things but it is my understanding that the Commander-in-Chief of the United States military on Guantánamo would refuse to obey any order to close the concentration camp by President Obama because Republicans in Congress would not give him money. I confess I do not understand how American government works.

The issue is the citizens of the United States don't want the criminals here in the US. Other countries don't want the criminals. So there they sit at Gitmo, even though the President promised to close it. He broke his promise. The same holds true for Obama's not hiring lobbyists and being transparent.

In the United States, are prisoners who have never been charged with any crime or put on trial nevertheless regarded as "criminals", I wonder.

That's another issue, probably worthy of a thread, doesn't change the fact Obama leaves them at Gitmo after promising to close Gitmo.

And Obama's failure to close Guantánamo KZ had nothing to do with Republicans in Congress. Right?

There are no criminals in Gitmo to my knowledge....

Trump's entire campaign was "just for show".

Yeah, could be.

Such is politics in America today, on both ends.

Too bad so many people not only buy into it, but play along with it.

Newt Gingrich Says Trump Has Given Up On ‘Draining The Swamp’

If that wasn’t obvious.

After campaigning on a promise to clean up Washington and rid it of special interests, Donald Trump has stacked his team with the likes of former Goldman Sachs banker Steven Mnuchin and ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson.

Now, just weeks before taking office, Trump has decided to sideline his pledge to “drain the swamp,” his ally Newt Gingrich said Wednesday.

“I’m told he now just disclaims that,” Gingrich (R-Ga.) the former House speaker, told NPR’s “Morning Edition.” “He now says it was cute, but he doesn’t want to use it anymore.”

Gingrich posted to Twitter this week what he described to NPR as “a very cute tweet” about the alligators in Washington. But someone ― Gingrich didn’t disclose who ― sent him a note saying they were tired of hearing such talk.

"The alligators are unhappy about draining the swamp. That is the explanation for the nonsense about subverting the electoral college." --Newt Gingrich​

Gingrich told NPR he’s noticed a post-election change in Trump’s attitude about certain things, namely the “lock her up” chant that rang through campaign events.

Trump this month acknowledged his threat to imprison Hillary Clinton for using a private email server was a show to garner support.

Apparently, vowing to “drain the swamp” may have been more of the same.

Trump's entire campaign was "just for show". His entire campaign was based on lies - starting with the Obama birther bullshit which he knew was a lie from the beginning.

Of course it was...the entire theatrical production was just to unseat the queen and give us one of the greatest upsets in the history of the planet....anyone who was not rooting for the queen to get her spit handed to her lost out...and probably spent the night in the bathroom...the question then becomes, why didn't you "long live the queen" partisans realize this before the election?

He made a campaign promise, he didn't keep his word, all he had to do was make an executive order to close Gitmo and he didn't. The Republicans opposed however he never pushed it after he was elected.

Hitlary is gone and Obummer is leaving. . . slogan or not, the swamp is looking better already.

Career politicians are the very definition of "swamp"...

He will ensure the uber wealthy get more wealthy. Priority number one of every president we've had. I cannot think of one that I would label as good.

Jimmy Carter was a good man. Probably none as evil as Trump - and he's just getting started.

Washington Redskin, there you go again too much fire water. Jimmy Carter was and is a piece of shit... fact

It looks to me as though the President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief believed he could not order his men to close the camp because he needed money from Congress to do so. That is hard to believe.

He never pushed it however the point is he didn't follow through on his campaign promise, just like he never followed through on being the most transparent administration ever, just as he didn't stay away from lobbyists. His fault his blame to bear.
