Who wants to sign up for crazy?: Trump looks to GOP establishment but they want no part of him

President Donald Trump is finally realizing he needs some establishment Republican types to bring stability to his administration — but he’s not finding many takers.

The president is reportedly considering a number of staffing changes after his legislative agenda stalled and his administration drowns in the Russia scandal, but experienced Washington hands are reluctant to sign on, reported The Hill.

Trump rejected many GOP veterans for White House jobs because they had criticized him during the campaign or felt they had been insufficiently supportive, but few reputable Republicans want to sign on with the president after seeing the chaotic first months of his administration.

“The talent pool is shrinking, because who wants to sign up for crazy?” said Michael Steele, former chairman of the Republican National Committee. “Nobody wants to step into a situation where you’re flying by the seat of your pants and don’t know whether what you just said will hold up from one news cycle to the next,” he added. “Nobody is going to be lining up for positions with that much uncertainty.”

We'll see how many will follow. Amazingly, so many are still rearranging furniture on the deck.

"Nearer my Trump to Thee" still playing on deck.

Those poor doomed souls.
