One more on board the trump train.... Chooo choooo

It's not more a train, it's a maglev shinkansen

“Trump has come out on two things that I think are important: first of all, he seems to be very much more so than his opponent in favor of a strong defense budget and we’ve got a lot of space to make up problems that have been left in defense by the Obama administration,” Woolsey said when asked to explain why he supports Trump over Clinton.
“The other is that he seems willing to keep a secret and not to blab everything to the public and to our opponents when he comes up with something about national security that ought to be kept quiet. I think that’s good. You can’t go yakking about everything that you’re interested in, you have to keep your counsel.”
Here's what some clever seeming person said about the Woolsey thing:
the long awaited track for the domestic ennemies will finally begun... Can't wait for the first dominos to start to move!
One people, under One God with the only American flag! Restoring the republic can be so much fun, multi spectraly rewarding and profitable! What's not to like
Post reading your tpp reply, who knows what's really inside? It's a dynamic contract (like win10 or fb) who can change at whim, but two things are certain banning gmo is illegal and those doing so will face trials from an extra judicial court... So you know... But would be good for Pence to confirm the future potus line, as so he would be flawless... It was a mistake before he was veepee.
The reason Flynn appeals to me is that I am sure he is in position to know exactly what he is fighting, and has proven to have been willing to do so.
I feel that Trump also has a pretty good idea else he would not have gotten this far, but nothing like what Flynn knows. Trump's mis-steps (esp, Pence) cause me some concern. Trump clearly almost didn't make that mistake but at the end of the day he did (though he probably had some reasons I'm cannot be aware of.)
You seem to have some confidence in the CIA (from some earlier post.) I consider the CIA to be and have been an elite invention and tool from it's very start, and to have done nothing but having got stronger in this capacity since then. I don't mean to besmerch all CIA employees and I'm sure there are some good ones, but it is fundamentally flawed, dangerous, and un-American and the leadership keeps it that way in my opinion. Flynn will have the background to understand this better than Trump and to know how to deal with it.
At the end of the day, supporting Flynn, Trump, or anyone else is something of a Hail Mary and a matter of picking the best odds in a risk-reward scenario. At least as I see it. Anyone put up by the modern DNC is, however, a sure-lose bet of course.
Anyone is going to need 8 years to really save what's left of the nation and turn things around. That would put Trump at 80 years old. While he seems remarkably able now, 80 years old is asking a lot of anyone in the kind of threat environment in which he will be working. And again, he has made no pretenses about not really wanting to do it anyway if there exist some other option.
