I thought you were an engineer and here you are a poorly educated rust belt white!
Anyway, nice to see you won't be holding your guy accountable simply because he has an (R) next to his name. I expect we will see a repeat of the Bush years when conservatives turned a blind eye to the national debt, foreign wars, and the violations of the 4th amendment just because a Republican was in office.
I am an engineer, but to the loser left I'm just some mouth breathing Trump voter. You know it's true.
Well it is pretty easy to pick at appointees who hate the Department they have been nominated to run -
Betsy DeVos - Education,
Carson - HUD,
Ebell - EPA,
Tom Price - HHS
Rick Perry - Energy
No real issues with the credentials of the Military appointees except several are Hawks and wanted a hardline against Iran. - The Exxon/Mobil Chief, Tillerson, might be good; as for the others well not one is a slam dunk. At least Tom Price knows his business but hates Obamacare.
Given the current lineup we may be in for a dramatic remaking of the Federal Agencies but mismanagement is far more likely than huge cutbacks.
That's the point. Education and hud have been up to all manner of racially-based foolishness these past eight years, so I'd be glad to see them completely changed. Along with the justice department.
Did your crystal ball tell you that Trump would win the election and that Republicans would win both houses of congress? No? Then perhaps it may not be that accurate.
But anyway, we've heard criticisms about every damn person Trump has considered for a cabinet post. So rich people are no good. Business executives are no good, financial executives are no good. Long-term U.S. Senators are no good. Former governors, current governors, former mayors, former ambassadors.....all no good. Military guys are no good. Guys from Breitbart News, whoa baby, the worst thing since Hitler. Former neurosurgeons are no good, Sarah Palins are no good. So tell me: who in the hell should he appoint to his cabinet?
I voted for the pothead so I never cared about "winning" the election because that isn't going to put any money in my pocket and I am not accustomed to carrying other people's water. National elections are not a team sport to me.
Hence, I don't care about Trumps's appointments. What I have said (in other threads) is that Pence's fingerprints are all over these appointments. So it doesn't surprise me in the least that people who don't care or know anything about a certain agency are nominated to run them. It is very NORMAL for GOP presidents to do this.
Have we forgotten about "heck of a job, Brownie" and the FEMA response yet?
Trump can nominate whoever he wants. I'm just going to take notes and pass the popcorn

I am with you, thats my read I kept thinking this what I would imagine a Huckabee or Santorum cabinet would look like. Incidentally those people polled at 10% of the GOP same as Pence would have polled if he ran in the primaries but somehow we end up with their cabinet.
There is nothing you can say to the old basket, they are all in, clearly anyone thats paying attention can see that trumps populism is all flash, his appointments are people that were opposed to the department they are heading almost comically so, I like Gen Mathis, I think he is level headed and academically inclined other than that its pretty bad, but hey its their turn so you just hold your nose for the next couple of years, hope for Judge Ginsberg good health and you know make sure trump has enough rope.
It is very ironic and I guess those rust belt white got exactly as they wished!
Can you be specific about who you consider "rust belt white"? Do you have an issue with the working class? It seems you have a problem with the rich also. You do realize that it took more than "rust belt whites" to help Trump beat the pantsuit off of the morally, mentally and physically incompetent Hillary Clinton, right?
It is over for Hillary and if the Democrats don't quit crying over her loss, they are going to totally destroy the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party has provcen to have a lot of very weak individuals that are not able to handle a loss. If one can't handle a loss of their "horse" in the race, they shouldn't have been betting!

I admit that all the military generals and all the rich billionaires are bad optics. It doesn't look good. But on the other hand, success begets success. The argument could be made that who better would know how to get things done than the people who've done it before? I mean what's he supposed to do, go down to mainstreet and ask a common-man shop keeper "hey, you wanna cabinet position?
Regardless, your thread title reeks of elitism and arrogance, and this election has been defined by all those people you look down your nose at telling you they don't really give a d*** what you think about them, so sit in that and stew!

Ok so the left are Ivy league educated and with that comes arrogance. But somehow their supporters need Obamacare subsidies. Oh yes, that's the other end of the left's spectrum, the people the Ivy leaguers look down on and use.
Ivy League are not as smart as they would want you to believe... that's not to say there aren't smart people there, however the number of smart people is only a very small percentage, there aren't that many bright people in the country to keep the Ivy League doors open... some of the smartest people (Einstein smart) that I have met are from public universities..
