Do you honestly believe EVERY Obama cabinet appointment was "qualified"?

Many of us are FOR vouchers and school choice.

Why are you so against them?

"A surgeon at HUD?"

Dr. Carson GREW UP IN GOVT housings so he is MORE qualified then some academia who has NEVER lived in it.

Ignorance is bliss!

Don't look now, but a Clintonista has infiltrated the poll and seeks to be counted as one who "regrets" their vote

He hasn't even started his term yet. Why would I regret not picking a liberal?

Sounds like you are more than curious, sounds like you hate the man and trying to make people dislike him more... just saying... Merry Christmas...

Which makes me think that you're a Clintonista posing as a now-disgruntled former Trump supporter. After all, it was clear well before the vote that Trump wasn't going to release his taxes. And, while I generally favor transparency in this regard, ultimately I didn't care as leftists would attack him unfairly whether he released or didn't release his taxes.

Also, Trump has long stated some of his preferences for cabinet positions, which include many successful, "billionaire" men and women. So, again, why would old news (news that was available before the vote) make you change your mind? Try fooling someone else.

Not only that, but wouldn't people who regret supporting him only come to that conclusion after he has taken office and not measured up to their expectations? Its only been (3) weeks since the election and is still nearly 2 months away from even being President!

I heard a lot of Trump supporters claim that he was more moderate than some of his more campaign positions, and basically "playing to the cheap seats", but some of his appointees are scary.

Vilsack as Secretary of Agriculture comes to mind immediately. Being governor of a rural state doesn't make one an expert on agriculture issues.

That being said, he's actually done a pretty good job. Which goes to show that you really can't judge a book by its cover.

are you using "grew up in the projects" as a qualification for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development?


I'll address the school vouchers on merit, though: The Secretary of Education would work on FIXING the schools, not circumventing them. The free market is not a public education solution, in fact, it makes public schools worse. School vouchers don't benefit the poor, because they don't cover full tuition, and there aren't unlimited seats available in private schools. They simply make it easier for more affluent parents to provide their children with a private education. There is no worse person to task with overhauling our education system than someone who would prefer to simply abandon it.

Poll speaks for itself.


I did regret voting for Obama. Turned out to be one of the laziest Presidents in American history.
