5. He was named after Willard Marriott, friend of his dad

Maybe they will reinstate porn pay channels, after ditching them when he started running for pres.Bet they lost a lot of money on that, and since the Mittster is all about $, he may let them change the policy.

7. Is he afraid to retire into irrelevancy

or something? I could see if he was getting these positions on merit, but his positions are still based on his father's coattails.

FFS, Willard-- enjoy your wife and 50 grandkids! Marriott will be just fine without your misguided help and mean spirited opinions about the "47 percent" aka "Marriott associates."
