Last night we had an hour-long podcast discussion of Trump’s nominees to date, you can listen to the whole thing here.
There has been a fair amount of criticism coalsecing around Pete Hegseth, Rulsi Gabbard, RFK, Jr., and Matt Gaetz, particularly Gaetz who may be the most vulnerable to Republican defections and willingness to defy Trump. You can hear more of my take on Gaetz in the clip from Chicago’s Morning Answer and at the 40-minute mark of the full podcast.
My “hot take” on the whole nominee thing can be summed up as:
Don’t Worry, Be Happy (that Kamala is not the one picking a cabinet).
Here is that 1-minute excerpt that comes near the end:
For all those people — and I’ve said this to a couple of people who were a little bit down on some of his choices — just think what the choices would have been if Kamala had won….So you’re not thrilled with somebody? Fine. Okay, you don’t think they were the greatest pick? Fine.Just think what this would have looked like had she been doing the picking.You would have had the most insanely radical, anti-American nominees to these positions whose job would have been to destroy society.And so, whatever issues we have with the Trump nominees, think about what the alternative would have been.People should have a smile on their face and should maybe cut some of these nominees a little bit of slack when you take that into account.
