How would Richard Grenell have advised Romney

[Slammer]

1. Competence

I've always been of the opinion that the person in charge needs to be competent in and of himself before he consults with an adviser. With a president, at a minimum, that would mean domestic and foreign policy with a good grounding in science, economics, and history.

We rarely get that so we have advisers in charge. < sigh>

Do you seriously think that Grenell would have been saying anything that you want to hear? According to what I've read, he's a confrontational conservative troll with a nasty sense of humor who also happens to be gay.

Now as for Romney being an idiot, agreed completely. Hiring someone with a history of making nasty, cutting comments is a crap shoot at best since you don't know when he's going to spout off and destroy your campaign. But to hire him while leaving his nasty Twitter comments untouched until after reporters have read them then having Mr. Grenell delete them is sheer incompetence from Team Romney. There is behavior which is professional in a campaign team and there is behavior which is unprofessional. Hiring someone without vetting them and without cleaning them up before presenting them to the public is unprofessional.
