like subject matter expert Linda Mcmahon for small business administration. Same WWF exec known for destroying smaller wrestling companies, exploiting their wrestlers, and spending millions to try to buy her way into congress? Her and her husband also were some of his largest campaign donors.
Or Ben Carson, who admitted he had no administration experience and wouldn't be taking a job. To all of a sudden deciding he was fit to run HUD.
What about Mitch Mcconell wife. Elaine Chao, for transportation secretary. Her family owns a shipping conglomerate.
I can go on and on about his "suspect" picks.
Good luck to everyone, even those that are in denial.
And people were saying because Steve bannon graduated from Harvard that somehow makes it a little better. As if Bush didn't also graduate from Harvard and ****ed up thecountry.
And all the Goldman Sachs cronies trump think is qualified to run a country, like they were so successful during all the bail outs from making bad decisions over greed and left this country in shambles.

Get over his pics. If the Obama administration people were so fantastic, Trump never would have WON in the first place.
Constitutionally, the only experience needed to be President is to be an US born citizen, and to be 37 years old. There is nothing written in the constitution about the experience of officer holders or cabinet positions. In short each President can appoint who they want.

As if they gave any credit to Obama for being an Ivy League graduate!
And at least George Bush wasn't an alt-righter like Steve Bannon

1. Ronald Reagan was pretty popular and the Democrats took control only 4 years after his term ended
2. Bill Clinton was pretty popular and the Republicans took control immediately after his term handed
3. Bush was popular enough to get reelected and the Democrats took over immediately after his term ended

Bush II was a disaster, such a disaster midway through his second term the Democrats took control for the first time in a long time both houses of Congress.
Bush I had a major recession through his Presidency, and that was a big factor why he lost (deja vu?)
Clinton had a very scandal ridden administration, one that had so many scandals Gore did not want him to campaign for him in 2000. And Gore lost.

Umm that's all based on perception. President Obama wasn't running for a third time, and despite Hilary's experience she was nowhere near as charismatic and had far more baggage. And also It's pretty common in history for back to back party presidents to follow up with the opposite party winning. People don't realize that the presidential election isn't the only political event they should care about. All the "forgotten" and poor citizens that feel neglected under president Obama administration doesn't realize the congressmen they vote for, mayors, senators, all play a role in their living standards as well as their own decisions and fault.
A huge reason that trump won (the electoral college) as he did not win the popular vote is that many democrats stayed home and or voted third party or write ins. Bernie could have easily won against trump, because he would have got democrats out to vote especially those same people who were tired of the same ole same ole.
Trump winning wasnt a slight to Obama, it was expected with all the hate he received meanwhile he was a pretty good president overall. But many trump voters just didn't want a black man and his family in the office anyway so their vote was never going to Hilary, a woman. Even as painfully obvious how unqualified trump and pence are.
The irony in all of this is, they ended up electing the same ole same ole just in a different wrapper. It's funny how the qualifications of President, the Leader of the free world, the most powerful Man in this country has so little qualifications for some people. Meanwhile same people who say no political experience can't get a job because they lack the experience and qualifications needed for certain jobs. You wouldn't want a doctor without experience or a lawyer without experience in charge of your life. But someone how the most powerful leader in the world is considered to be such a minuscule job, that's anyone born a US citizen is enough. And like you said he can appoint anyone he wants and that speaks volume for his administration and drain the swamp message
The stock market is doing better, housing market is doing better, unemployment is down, economically that can't be denied. But people focus on The ACA act when the majority of people aren't effected negatively about it. Healthcare was already rising every year prior to ACA, yet people just go to "blame Obama" meanwhile the Republican Party wants to take away their Medicare and privatize healthcare. Besides all of that couldn't come up with another plan to adjust rising healthcare cost.
Healthcare was already rising every year prior to ACA, yet people just go to "blame Obama" ...
The issue isn't that healthcare costs were rising, the issue is that Obama repeatedly lied about premiums going down by up to $2500 per family over and over and over and over and over and over. Just like "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan". The exact opposite of which happened in both cases.
But nope, that couldn't possibly be the reason people think he's a lying sack of crap.
