I think Laura Ingraham would be an outstanding selection as Press Secretary.

 

I saw where not just Ivanka, but The Donald himself met today with ALG. :o

From Dr. Charles Krauthammer;

 

Revenge is not a good strategy for the Democrats. The one thing they don’t want to be tagged with immediately is obstructionism. That worked against Republicans in the Senate for eight years as a political hatchet. If the Democrats want to invite that, this is going to look like naked partisanship and obstruction for its own sake.
Remember when Obama came into office, the Congress approved eight of his cabinet members on Day One.
If these guys are going to stand around and do procedural stuff that you just show on television, it is going to look ridiculous. It’s going to be obvious obstructionism and no reason. I can understand a drawn-out hearing on somebody you think is extreme or unqualified, but if they want to do it as a way to get revenge for Garland, be my guest.
They will suffer from that for eight years.

Krauthammer's dead wrong in this case. What will really happen is that, if the Democrats decide to be obviously obstructionist, the Republicans will invoke the nuclear option, kill the filibuster, and take the Democrats completely out of the picture. Then the Democrats will complain the Republicans are being undemocratic and fascist, and the media will run with that narrative.

 

The Democrats have nothing to lose by being obstructionist, because it'll be spun in their favor.

As it always is. D's opposing R's = principled opposition. R's opposing D's = obstructionism.

 

Just is the way it's always called. Will be interesting to see what happens when Trump proposes items the D's typically support but the R's typically oppose. Still hopeful (though not tremendously) that this presidency sees Congress take back some of their authority.

When?

Pretty sure it's bound to happen during his presidency. If it doesn't, then good, but that would be surprising.

I think you misunderstood the 'when'
