Be honest, How do you feel about Trump's Corporate Cabinet?

Mattis is a pure "frick yes" and Tillerson is outside the box enough that I'm certainly interested to watch the experiment play out.

Most of the others range from "Meh, not exactly my cup o' tea" to "What a frickhead!"

Serious adults and an incredible upgrade on the present Cabinet..couldn't be happier with Trump's selections..I also like that they were picked even though many of them disagree with Trump on certain positions which shows quality judgment and humility by Trump..

Why do you prefer a political cabinet vs a corporate cabinet? I'll take capitalist running this country any day.

I really like it. I generally have a very low opinion of career politicians. A person who has spent the majority of his or her life in government/politics has a very limited window of experience. I prefer people that have significant business/world experience outside of government. I am not a fan of bureaucracy led by bureaucrats.

It's fantastic. We must get professional politicians out of cabinet level positions in government. They have no clue how the real world works.

Maybe the middle class can actually see an improvement in their standard of living.

The politicians in Trump's cabinet are the ones I like the least. Sessions sucks, Pruitt sucks, Perry isn't really qualified since DoE is mostly nuclear.

Tillerson will probably be fine. Puzder will be fine. The non-Flynn generals will be fine.

Don't you rubes understand? Only career politicians can successfully run government.

What exactly does a CEO know about running a large organization like the US government?

Ya, exactly. NOTHING.

I don't really feel, I think. So before they even take their positions, all I really can do is speculate. And I have speculated and made projections. To answer the question the way you framed it, I didn't feel any differently than any other time I had to think.

After this administration takes office, and starts to execute, I'll think more.

I do actually feel. For example the other night I must have slept with my arm twisted underneath my body. I felt some soreness and pain.

I had feelings on election night, and the morning after, but that happens. I also thought a lot.

My thoughts are strange and random. For example, I think I can't judge fairly a cabinet until they actually are in a position to do something.

So because he has fewer politicians and more corporate players it's corrupt?

I think more politicians would equate to more corrupt.....

The past 8 years have informed me that if Liberals hate it, it must be good for America. Simple.

Ergo, this is likely the greatest Cabinet in modern American history.

We've had corruption for years with career politicians. Why not try something different with people who have made a living at being good at what they do?

I freaking love his picks overall. Government of the people, by the people.

The federal government has run amuck with people who have no idea what the real world has to live with. Trump's picks are wealthy and certainly aren't the common man, but they do know what life is like in the private sector.
