The split vote represents the political scrutiny Pompeo is likely to encounter as he moves from the CIA to the State Department, where he’ll face the simultaneous challenges of reinvigorating an agency beset by flagging morale and answering for a president who is prone to impulsiveness.

Assume we could be given an pile of 20 or so anonymous resumes of those US citizens who have the best qualifications for Secretary of State. Is it even possible that anyone would have a better resume for the job than Mike Pompeo has?

>>They do not care about the United States, only the party.<<

Typical mindset of Socialists and Communists the world over.
