Because he ran for office once and lost? Ok.

Let me guess. This doesn't meet your swamp draining criteria, right?

One day, I'm going to come on this board and a liberal is gonna surprise me. I guess today isn't that day.

It's obvious she bought this position to give the WWE an unfair advantage in the Uber competitive pro wrestling game.

Am I doing it right?

Don't know what you're talking about. I'm not critical of the appointment. I think she'll do a fine job.

Oh, you're still imagining that I'm a liberal. I'm more conservative than most of this board. I didn't vote for Trump because he is too liberal for my sensibilities.

I'd want Austin to give a presser where he gives a reporter a stunner. what? And another. What? And another. What? And a double bird. What? And another stunner. What? Then open a case of beer...

You're wrong about me, friend. When I need a hard dose of "ultra conservatism", I start looking for that gay flag avi of yours.

I call it my Buckley beacon.

I'm a small government conservative who doesn't want big government to tell you that you can't sign a marriage certificate because you have a vagina.

I've always been curious as to how FDR's economic plan would work in today's world, and we will find out in the next few years. Not my cuppa tea, but I hope for the best.

He's nominating all of his buddies to these positions whether or not they're the best candidate or not. I voted for the guy and much rather him than shillary but I don't like the smell of some of this. We'll see how it goes, but I'm not afraid to criticize the guy either.

She and her husband built a small business up to a 3.4 billion dollar entertainment Goliath. You would have been more comfortable with someone like fricking Rick Santorum for the head of the small business association?

This is actually one of his better appointments.

I note none of them say who he SHOULD have appointed.

No certainly not, I'm just concerned about all of the buddy appointments. She could turn out to be great, well just have to wait and see. He is Mr You're Fired, so I hope he maintains that and ditches the trash where need be. Now that he's a politician though, will he have the courage to do that when they have dirt on him? I hope so.

I haven't been vetting candidates and I'm not sure who I'd appoint. Maybe this lady will be great, we'll see. I'd feel more comfortable with him not appointing someone that's a close friend (will he fire a close friend when need be??) and that donated $5 million to his charity though.


I swear these frickin charities, no politician should be allowed to have one. The potential for corruption is too clear.

Up until now, he wasn't a politician though. Just a rich guy with a foundation (like all of them). And should he be appointing people he doesn't know at all, when he has qualified people in his circle that he trusts? I think this is only the second appointment from his business associates, so it's not as if he is lining his cabinet with "friends".

I think you may be letting too much "liberal conventional wisdom" affect your take on this one.

When he was running he said he was friends with some great business people. It shouldn't be a surprise that he's now appointing them to cabinet positions.

He also said he'd drain the swamp. We need to make sure he does.

I couldn't figure out why you said this other than to try to antagonize me, but then I figured it out: you were a dumbass for the post.

I love the McMahons and think Linda is perfect for the job. I don't care about the "swamp" stuff. That's political rhetoric for stupid people on both sides. People like Rudy, Mitt, JEB, etc, are perfectly qualified for all kinds of cabinet positions.

Nice try being cute, big guy.
