      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.

      14. Anyways, Trump's staffing difficulties fuel gov't dysfunction. Personnel is policy but also paralysis and paranoia.

      16. True, Trump has hired from Heritage. But these people don't share his worldview & Trump doesn't trust them: https://twitter.com/M_Feeney/status/842402077380866048 …

      17. One mystery is why Trump/Bannon didn't turn to possibly sympathetic realist academics (Bacevich, @stephenWalt) & @amconmag crew.

          Trump/Bannon aren't Realists and Realism represents a lot of the things Trump claims he's trying to change.

          Plus, I think realists were excised or excised themselves from Republican circles during Bush years.

          18. A theory: Trump & Bannon are both idiot savants who reinvented paleo-conservatism without knowing it's intellectual roots
