another one incoming. hope, i was actually very surprised when she left. and to tell you how much i respect her, i don t consider her a friend but i respect her abilities very much. she is actually perfect for what the president is looking for. which is? he is thinking of not having a chief of staff. what he wants is to operate like the 26th floor of trump tower where he had a strong-willed, very good woman in rona graff handling the calls, knowing him getting his zen, stuff like that. he will listen to women more than men, believe it or not, strongly saying, that wouldn t be a good idea. are you sure? while he had to adapt to the presidency, and i think the republicans have a good chance of keeping the house i hope they do or he s getting impeached he needs to operate in a way that, i know him very well, without bringing in rona,
