(32,886 posts)He is like-able. So I am guessing he is going to be much more effective than Spicer or Huckabee-Sanders.
Of course the one wildcard in my eval is that it is possible that someone who seems that way in certain situations may not deal well with the White House Press corps pressing them. I dont think that will be the case with Scaramucci.

Nicolle Wallace says Trump wants someone better looking delivering the message (re: Sean Spicer). Sacrum is a Hannity guy - often seen on Fox News.

(2,959 posts)was if I were in a business meeting with him I'd be polite but quickly leave the room and avoid anything involving money with that guy.
It might be his Long Island accent. from his wiki listing it appears he managed to go to "good schools" and have what some consider an "impressive career" I'm just going on my previous ignorance and gut reaction to him.
So I guess he's a perfect replacement for Spicer

(5,269 posts)"Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland on Thursday told President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Treasury secretary that he would push for an investigation into Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci for possible violations of sanctions against Russia.
During a confirmation hearing for the nominee, Steven Mnuchin, Cardin said he planned to send a letter from himself and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts to the Treasury asking for an investigation into Scaramucci and his fund.
Cardin seemed to be referring to a discussion, reported by Bloomberg News, between Scaramucci and the head of a Russian sovereign wealth fund that the US government sanctioned in 2015.
According to Bloomberg, Scaramucci and the fund's director, Kirill Dmitriev, spoke about possible co-investment opportunities. Bloomberg reported that the meeting took place at the World Economic Forum conference in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday and was confirmed by Scaramucci.
During an interview with Bloomberg TV in which the sanctions against Dmitriev's fund were not directly brought up Scaramucci said he had known Dmitriev for a while and was unsure whether he could continue to contact the Russian investor once he got into the administration."

(2,404 posts)from the talking heads on TV the last couple hours, he will lie and spin and sell the PeeResident's bullshit fascist agenda much more smoothly and calmly than Spicer did.
