The President-elect has been turning to retired military brass and those with deep pocketbooks to fill out many of the top posts in his administration.

IOW he is picking proven, successful people, which is a good sign, showing he is serious about working to "make America great again".

[BenLurkin]

“How dare he pick the best people!”

[NorthMountain]

Lessee, here ...

Should we pick older, experienced men with demonstrable records of success?

Or should we pick young, inexperienced academics with no practical exposure to real life?

[jazminerose]

No, he should pick unemployed, undisciplined poor people.

All this winning is exhausting me.....

Did Obama have any cabinet picks that weren’t lawyers?
Never saw a headline, “Obama picks all lawyers for cabinet posts”

[Hojczyk]

Time does not matter anymore

[knarf]

People that win wars, make money, and empower others to do their best.

Ain't tired yet ...

[Tax-chick]

They seem to imply that previous presidents have chosen random high-school dropouts off the streets of Chicago.

Interesting to note that Trump is going against the SOP politcial grain. With a few exceptions, rather then following the Poltical Establishment SOP of going to Universities to hire theoreticians, or hiring career poltical/lobbyists type, he is going to the private sector to hire people with private sector experience or to the military to hire from the warrior class of generals.

His appointments are completely in keeping with this “drain the swamp” promise.

And who did Obama pick for his first cabinet? Government hacks and corrupt grifters.

[Dutch Boy]

So far no one from academia. No wonder the left is melting down.

[henkster]

Well we tried the far-left inexperienced and incompetent ideologues for eight years, and look where it got us. So why not try something different?

[ari-freedom]

No, he should pick people from National Review’s cocktail parties

[Cicero]

Trump picks people who have made lots of money by doing a good job. Obama and Hillary pick people who have made lots of money by political cheating.

[9YearLurker]

Bwaha!

[Future Snake Eater]

I loved Obama’s pick of a tax cheat to run the IRS. Aside from that, his primary qualification for the job appeared to be some kind of familial connection.

[depressed in 06]

Trump picks from minorities and the Bolshies have a fit.

[nopardons]

It sure is better than picking by race, ethnicity, because they are fellows MARXISTS/COMMIES/SOCIALISTS, people who were also mentored by one’s handler ( i.e. Valerie Jarrett ), and they came from your state’s Lefty political party machine.

[right way right]

He should choose by skin color, perversion preference, privileges of particular religions, gender, Oh, wait...we're done with that BS.
I'm so sick of these media ‘wizards’.
