    I had hoped that Kelly could be an adult in the White House. When it comes to bringing logistical order, he has had some success (at a very hard job). But when it comes to providing judgement and moral leadership (to supplement Trump’s deficiencies), I think he has failed.

        I don't think Kelly sees "moral leadership" as his job. I don't mean that as criticism. He's a general whose job it is to support the commander-in-chief. Judgment, however, he should certainly provide. Just unclear where there's a willing audience.

        I agree with that, actually.

        I won’t forget that “empty barrel” comment. He’s a racist ass.

        Oh, good God. The evidence of Kelly's character was there for anyone who wanted to see it. Stop acting like the PR surrounding him wasn't just that. Stop acting like he has redeeming characteristics that justified your support. You were as gullible as the deplorable DJT voters.

        If he could provide moral leadership, Trump wouldn’t have hired him. It’s not Trump’s style.

        The more we hear, it seems like he thinks his primary job is to protect Trump and not the country.

        I think this who John Kelly always was just that he was shielded behind the title of general.

        As a Marine I had placed a great deal of faith in General Kelly. It saddens me deeply to see it was misplaced.
