When looking at past administrations' transitions, this is unusual, right? All these rumors accompanied by whispers of infighting within the team?

Or is this SOP and the info this time is just not being clamped down?

False rumors feel typical to me, though in my memory Bush had his team buttoned up pretty early. -- nm - Max Nov 17, 08:18
I suspect it's somewhere in the middle. They're more discombobulated than usual, but most of the expectations are also more unrealistic than usual. -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 08:12 5
- meaning the 'drain the swamp' expectations in not hauling out old, crusty names? -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 08:15 4
  - I mean the "why don't they have somebody named and working inside the Pentagon 4 days after the election?" expectations. -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 08:17 3
    - I read yesterday both candidates were told months ago to have lists developed and positions ready. The Trump campaign did none of that prep work -- nm* - decline Nov 17, 08:23 1
      - typical. -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 08:25
    - Yeah, it's not like they're on a time crunch or anything. -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 08:18
I suspect social media advances play a huge factor. -- nm - David's iPad Nov 17, 08:02 1
- and my guess is that the transition team takes a lead from the President Elect in regards to it's use. - Mel Profit Nov 17, 08:08
nothing about this transition is normal -- nm - decline Nov 17, 08:01
