Those shedding tears over Anthony Scaramucci’s very brief tenure as White House communications director are few and far between online, especially after he threw a colleague or two under the bus during a vulgar tirade to a New Yorker reporter last week.
To many, Scaramucci being sent packing is a sign of abject chaos inside the Trump administration, even though America in 2016 elected a president with his own catch phrase: “You’re fired!”
Hillary Clinton’s perfectly titled campaign memoir, “What Happened,” isn’t due until September, but until then, Ready for Hillary founder and former aide Adam Parkhomenko is serving up a big pitcher of lemonade he cobbled together out of some leftover lemons.
Say what you will about Hillary: not one firing or shakeup on her campaign. She may not be President, but she cared about her team.

She was also the best boss any of us could have ever dreamed of. She would have been one the best Presidents this country had ever seen.
— Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) July 31, 2017
Further more, her team means those on staff and not on staff. She never wanted anyone to fall through the cracks. We were all one.

What? Sorry, we tuned out somewhere around, “Say what you will about Hillary,” so have at it.

Ouch!
Hey, remember when Democrats lost their minds over Mitt Romney once saying, “I like being able to fire people”? Being fired is no fun, but when you work your way up to being the boss, that’s part of the job, you know?
If you wanted the opposite negative counter-example, this would be it. https://t.co/zuVLYm0Xo2

I can't imagine a better advertisement for firings and shakeups than Hillary's avoidance of firings and shakeups. https://t.co/4k80EkEtue

The shakeup part is very much contradicted in "Shattered" and the rest is because staff cared more about keeping their jobs than winning. https://t.co/bB8ibz5QOC

Trump is in no way a model for anything regarding leadership, but Hillary letting her failing team fail is another leadership flaw. https://t.co/bB8ibz5QOC

There were certainly enough incompetents there to pick from.
Maybe a couple firings would have gotten her spotty ass to WI.

She wasn't worried about running a tight ship. She was a shoe-in. Remember? It was her turn. ?

say what you will about hillary but at least she kept @RobbyMook around despite his obvious, campaign-sinking incompetence
— Lawrence “Larry” Fishmarket ? (@PotatoesOGrady) July 31, 2017
Yes, she let the incompetents steer the Titanic straight into the iceberg. That's what a good captains does, instead of firing people.
