It's hard to say if there are any grownups in this administration.

The RNC Preibus-Pence wing of the administration are familiar enemies in the traditional sense of politics compared to whatever the hell the Steve Bannon crowd brings in. I guess that's the closest there are to grownups, although it doesn't make them very good. Just familiar.
