(17,000 posts)She is not used to people being confrontational to her. She has surrounded herself with acolytes. I do not think she will cope well with protesters questioning her every chance they get. She was a big fish in a small pond where her family was well known and their money went far. Welcome to the big pond where most folks don't know who her family is or care, for that matter.

(208 posts)He strikes me as a no nonsense, no bullshit type of guy that won't put up with Trump for very long.
The honeymoon seems to be ending between retired Gen. James N. Mattis and Donald Trumps transition team amid an increasingly acrimonious dispute over who will get top jobs in the Defense Department and who gets to make those decisions.
With only two weeks left before Inauguration Day and days before Mattiss Senate confirmation hearing, most major Pentagon civilian positions remain unfilled. Behind the scenes, Mattis has been rejecting large numbers of candidates offered by the transition team for several top posts, two sources close to the transition said. The dispute over personnel appointments is contributing to a tenser relationship between Mattis and the transition officials, which could set the stage for turf wars between the Pentagon and the White House in the coming Trump administration.

Poor Betsy just won't be able to handle the criticism and protests and finally Rick Perry when he realizes that he is being used to help the Trump industry as it pertains to oil industry, nuclear arms and especially Russia - he will also resign.
