Do you think she would have gotten the job if her family didnt make 200M in contributions?

Not really draining the swamp on this pick.

many cabinet and ambassadorships are given to people who have contributed to the campaigns. been like that for a long time. that being said he has dropped the "drain the swamp" mantra and Im not very happy about that.

Nope, it was a mistake, but a minor one at this point.

She didn't even know what the IDEA was. I thought Trump only hires the most competent people. Sad!

Right. In other words, the swamp.

To whom? Link?

Disregarding that, if not her it would have been someone else with a history of wanting to shrink the role of fedgov in education.

Pretty sure you wouldn't be happy no matter what.

I'm very pro-Trump... but DeVos is an embarrassment.

I'm all for the other cabinet picks.

I have a PHD in education and did not know what IDEA was because it is legislation from the 1970s. Everything is ADA these days because IDEA is baked into the system. She is unqualified for much better reasons than the gotcha game.

No, she is in charge of beating down the teachers unions just like Scott Wilson did in Wisconsin.
