I used to think so, but not anymore..
The Peter Principle means you are promoted ABOVE your competence level...
Competence has nothing to do with this administration, there are scores of events that clearly show the people in this administration truly are absolutely clueless on a myriad of issues...
Government in general and especially this administration promote on loyalty...period end of story..
Caligula made his horse a Senator, if someone with enough money to toss to the democrat party, asking for Bo (Obama dog) to be promoted to some position...
Bo would be the first POTUS dog with an official title...
If ‘eligibility’ is not a consideration ... then no other attributes, no kind of experience, demonstration of character, capabilities, etc. are going to matter.
THAT’S how far America lowered the bar for “O” and of course, he trotted a whole universe of circus freaks and criminally incompetent traitors into the WH behind him.
