Trump for president

[HairOfTheDog]

Steve Bannon as Chief Strategist is surreal.

It's blowing my mind!

Some of the potential cabinet candidates being announced or leaked by the Trump camp also have me shaking my head.

In every winning presidential campaign, there are loyalists who get rewarded with posts or positions in the new administration, no problem.

But, appointing people to crucial U.S. cabinet positions based only on personal loyalty, regardless of qualifications, would be disturbing. Key cabinet positions should be filled by people who can well serve our country in those roles, period.

Ah well, if terrible nominations are put forth, I trust that there are good patriotic Republican politicians who will reject them, even if it means facing the potential wrath of the Executive. Likewise, I trust that there are good patriotic Democrats who won't try to block the nominations of qualified appointees just to obstruct. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.

I hope Donovan gets some time to pop in soon. I kinda miss that ex-humblebragger, and I'm curious to hear his thoughts on the developments of the last week.
