      2. The adage "personnel is policy" needs the proviso that for an outsider administration like Trump's, staffing is especially hard.

      3. Any presidential administration has to hire thousands to enact policy. There's an entire Washington infrastructure for that

      4. DC has a cottage industry of partisan ‘in-and-outers’ (working at think tanks & universities) ready to work depending on which party wins

      5. If Jeb! or Rubio had won they would've hired from Heritage & AEI, if Clinton had won she would've hired from CAP, Brookings, etc.

      6. As @thomaswright08 shrewdly noted, there are no Trumpian think tanks for Trump to hire ideological sympatico policy wonks.

      7. Trump & Bannon have broken with GOP orthodoxy on some key issues (Russia, immigration, trade, USA as guaranteer of global capitalism).

      8. The problem Trump/Bannon have is that there is a dearth of qualified, government ready people who share their worldview.

      9. The upshot is Trump has been slow to hire & has hired some conventional Republicans he distrusts (Mattis, McMaster).

      10. Generally, Trump/Bannon have been able to get their ideological allies in power is White House jobs not requiring Senate approval.

      11. And the few Trumpist they've gotten in have run into problems: Flynn and now Gorka.

      12. Think of Trumpism as a movement top-heavy with generals (Trump, Bannon, Kushner) but lacking in junior officers to execute order.
