Well, you've got to admit that The Donald's political influence has somewhat increased.

We'll see about this one in a few months. I think I'm reasonably concerned, though there are signs both ways. I don't trust the leaks about who is being considered for what, figuring the various candidates for posts are trying to work the press for advantage. Still, leaks like we've seen recently are also used to measure the amount of outrage nominating someone draws. There has certainly been no lack of outrage. It is not time to panic, but I feel it reasonable to be concerned. We'll see who is left standing after Pence finishes and the dust settles.
