Chao is a brilliant appointment that joins the Senate Majority Leader to President Trump’s hip right from the gitgo, and nearly guarantees that Mitch delivers the entire GOP Senate to Trump on nearly every issue for four years.
Not to mention, the woman has excellent experience and credentials, and clearly has amazing political instincts and capabilities since she’s pretty much the power that’s pushed the Mitch throne into the forefront since she married him in 1993.
Also, do keep in mind that Cabinet heads exist SOLELY to carry out a President’s orders. Period. They’re like VPs in a corporation who exist solely to implement the CEO’s policy and philosophy. Their jobs are NOT to set policy and philosophy, but to IMPLEMENT policy and philosophy. They all know that when they’re appointed.
Mrs. Submareener worked in Elaine Chao’s DOL. She told me that the bureaucrats were always complaining, while riding in the elevators, about her wanting “results” and how terrible that was. That’s good enough for me.

We shall see how that plays out.
It may have been a savvy move, for the reason you mention, but I’m not convinced Mitch plays along.
I was not a big fan of hers from the Bush administration.
As I said, we’ll see.
Some of the appointments won’t last long IMO.
Trump doesn’t dilly dally like these folks are used to seeing. Some of them won’t be up to moving at light speed.
