He has appointed a Obama-appointed democrat to run the VA. If you don’t think CNN and MSNBC will use this to say this proves Obama knows what he’s doing you are wrong. Just a terrible pick and you’ll notice the vast majority on this board agree it’s a terrible pick, which means they agree with me, not you. I also speak from experience. I use the VA. I also used to work for the VA. I’ve seen the mismanagement up close and personal.
This guy was nominated amid reports of terrible problems in the VA and approved by a Republican Senate.
He’s clearly qualified, and at the very least a reasonable choice.
Yes, I use the VA.

I don’t care what the MSM will say. It is immaterial to the situation. As far as what others think, I don’t much care about them either. For the most part, it’s “veterans” who don’t like it because the guy isn’t a vet. Lastly, it is telling that you are a former VA employee. You are willing to overlook the fact that the VA is a disgrace and that someone with the experience to manage it has been chosen. This isn’t about whether or not this guy is a conservative, it’s whether or not he has the ability to fix the VA. Personally, I hope he and Trump together close it.
