I keep seeing these awful potential cabinet picks, and each one is because they were "loyal" to Trump. I keep getting reminded about Obama's surprise pick of Hillary for Secretary of State. Regardless of your opinion of how she did, that pick obviously was not out of any loyalty. They had just had a very hard fought primary. That pick was who he thought would be best for the job.

If these rumored picks are true, this is not how Trump is picking. He wants his cabinet to be everyone that was "loyal" to him. In otherwords, he wants yes men.

This is "draining the swamp" apparently. It doesn't matter how credential'ed you are for the job, you get the position if you were "loyal". This is taking the corruption of Washington apparently. This is what the people voted for.

And it's not like we didn't have warning. These people have all been rumored for the cabinet the whole campaign.

Goddammit America. I love you (even though its getting harder and harder) but you really frustrate the hell out of me sometimes
