"The president will get the Cabinet he nominated and deserves"

So said Sen. Cornyn, R-Texas.

Why yes he will: a bunch of unqualified and incompetent people to head up his cabinet. He picked them for the wrong reasons and they will fail.

So look at it this way: nothing is likely to succeed in this administration. Not in the Oval, not among the cabinet picks. It will spiral down and down until nothing is left but an odor. We can only hope and pray that the Sec-Def and Sec-State can keep the international scene at least stable.

The Dems are positioning themselves against these nominees and thereby keeping the taint of failure from themselves. And in time the Dems will rise to repair the country.

He did not pick them for the wrong reasons.

He picked them intentionally to destroy the agencies they will head !!!!!!

There may not be a country to repair after the Trump administration destroys everything in their path.

Trump is EVIL !!!!!!!!!!

Republicans are EVIL !!!!!!!!!!!

They always put party and power above country.

EVIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would we rather have a competent or an incompetent right-winger heading up these Cabinet posts? Which would do more damage?

So if we have a really incompetent Sec of Education, she won't be able to do as much harm as a more competent one who would actually implement policies well.

That was my point.

Trump has no logical rhyme or reason for what he does. He's only got chaos brought about by his gut survival instincts.

Republicans will back all the incompetence !!!!

They want America to be a police state Theocracy controlled by Wall Street.

Their goal has always been to destroy the Federal government and hand control over to the states.

They don't give a damn about this country.

They worship party and power.
