A lot of people have been asking me over the last 12 hours why I'm pushing for #HopeHicks to be @realDonaldTrump's new CoS so let me explain:
1) Kelly is leaving... yes, I know what Trump said, I know what Kelly said... but take I know enough people in the WH to know, Kelly is leaving.
2) Personel is policy, the next CoS will be responsible for hiring and overseeing the hiring of many important positions. Under Kelly, MANY Never-Trumpers have been brought into the administration. Trump's base who cares about #MAGA cannot afford another year of this
3) Mulvaney and Ayers are both decent men but they're not on the #MAGA train. Mulvaney was part of the omnibus that prevented Trump from building the wall & expanded Catch & Release. He's a total believer in open borders.
4) Ayers has been in politics for decades and has always been a rank and file Republican. He doesn't have a populist bone in his body & will flood the place with Pence & Kushner people.
5) That is why we need Hope Hicks. She's non-ideological, has Trump's best interests at heart, and isn't working for a job in a future Pence WH. She's far more likely to install #MAGA ppl, work with Ivanka & Jared instead of feuding, and be loyal to Trump.
6) If we have Hope Hicks, we have a chance of getting more staff members who will fight for the agenda Trump campaigned on. Everyone else will be opportunists, social climbers, or ideologues. #done
