Okay, I guess. She did serve as Dep. Secretary under Bush Sr.

ETA: Didn't know she was McConnell's wife.

Minority female with relevant secretary experience in a Republican administration.

Hand was probably forced on this one. Too good of an aesthetic, yet practical, appointment to ignore.

Not necessarily. He obviously could turn into a big govt president, but he isn't the president yet. Hopefully this nomination helps him gain favor with McConnell, which means more of his agenda could get passed in the Senate.

Melting? Nope. Just pointing out the obvious. I enjoy watching the mental gymnastics of the Trumpkins. Keep it up.

Coming from someone who voted for Gary fricking Johnson, that's hilarious .

You have no moral or intellectual superiority just because you are a Libertarian. Your use of the word "Trumpkin" is also a big indicator of your petulance and melting.

or its called knowing how to make deals to get things passed. You can't just run to the corner and refuse to play if you want any more important agenda. You shouldn't question Daddy God Emperor Trump
