Anthony Scaramucci, New Communications Chief, Woos Trump on TV
Mr. Scaramucci, the hedge fund investor turned message strategist, took his tailored suits and butter-smooth style on his first official TV outing on Sunday.
"John
Dickerson of the CBS program “Face the Nation” bluntly asked Mr.
Scaramucci if Mr. Trump would get what he wanted in repealing and
replacing President Barack Obama’s signature health legislation.
“I
don’t know if he’s going to get what he wants next week, but he’s going
to get what he wants eventually, because this guy always gets what he
wants,” Mr. Scaramucci said. “O.K.?”"The "Mooch" is another assault on the Republican base.
That base may not yet realize how base their dwarves in
government are.
