Those who have not followed U.S. politics closely, and more specifically the political constructs of those who have hidden inside the DC politburo on both sides of the UniParty, may possibly be missing a very essential perspective.

Each step along this electoral path, in both the primary and the general election, we gradually identified, then accepted, a very welcome (almost stunning) reality that Donald Trump holds a granular level of comprehension about political representatives in DC.
It’s easier to give examples than to try and explain:

MRCTV puts together a recap video of the media response to the Donald Trump victory:

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is the architect of the Trump immigration enforcement structures.  Working diligently behind the scenes Kobach is constructing the actual mechanisms and actionable policies that will make President Trump’s policy proposals actually come into fruition.
Fortuitously, President Obama’s executive actions -as carried out by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)- have created convenient lists of many illegal aliens.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), otherwise known as President Obama’s “Dreamers”, and the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA), which targets the parents of the dreamers, has conveniently assembled a registration of names and addresses of unlawful aliens.
During President Obama’s press conference yesterday he was asked by a reporter if he could keep the list from the Trump administration.   President Obama responded by saying he hoped Trump would not overturn his executive actions on immigration.

“We are constantly told that the only two options are massive roundups [of illegal immigrants] or an amnesty. But attrition through enforcement is the third way. Change the individual decisions of particular illegal aliens, and they will decide to leave the country.” (link)  ~ Kris Kobach

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Trump/Pence presidential victory.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Based entirely on this interview segment it certainly appears that Laura Ingraham has been made an offer and is considering the ramifications:

The front of the story is that President Elect Donald Trump’s transition team requested security clearances for Donald Jr., Ivanka, Jerrod and Eric Trump.
The reason for the request is simple: in order to see the executive dossier’s and backgrounds of some governmental officials -who are under consideration for Trump administration positions- you must have a security clearance.
Almost everyone on the transition team needs a security clearance in order to see details of the candidate backgrounds.  It is no big deal, and has nothing to do with anything except the ability to review information, candidate experience, qualifications and provide an opinion.
However, that said – the bigger back story issue as outlined in this tweet from CBS is far more concerning. It would appear the Obama administration is leaking private discussions to CBS news:

Now ask yourself:

• who is the White House National Security Communications Director?
• And why would leaks be going to CBS News?

The professional left is absolutely petrified of Steve Bannon for exactly the same reason they were petrified of Andrew Breitbart. Both know how to defeat the progressive left’s talking points and tired false narratives.  Both Andrew and Steve know that modern politics is downstream from popular culture. Direct messaging, around the media, removes their control.
For that reason Steve Bannon is considered to be an existential threat by the progressive movement and DC Democrats and must be removed at all costs.  In this interview Randy Evans knocks Ms. Bolduan off her talking points and the CNN producers immediately begin transmitting talking points to her desk in real time.  Watch:

The reality is the Moonbats cannot find evidence to support their accusations against Bannon.

Evidently the NY Times researchers couldn't find a single thing that Bannon ever said that was racist or anti-Semitic. Liberals are fascists

President Obama held a press conference today covering a wide variety of topics including incoming President-Elect Donald Trump.  President Obama seems to blame Secretary Clinton for not campaigning in various regions that should have been more important.
On the subject of Donald Trump’s victory and the rebuke of the Obama legacy, the level of denial by President Obama is off the charts, quite remarkable.
