Some guys in the thread understand without being explicit that politics is no longer conservative or liberal. It is Swamp or Not Swamp.

That drives the point made about temporary or interim appointments. In his first term, there is no question that he did not understand the power of the Swamp. He went to the GOP apparatus to get nominees, and they then got confirmed as Swamp Filth and proceeded to run agencies in a business as usual manner, with no focus on drainage.

So dodging Senate confirmation is a big deal, but we need to be 100% focused on process. The morning after he wins the election, he can’t go out and start interviewing the Vivek guy and other purely business people with little interest in politics. This would solidify all of the Swamp’s fears and likely generate agreement by Senate Swamp filth to remove him from office when impeachment articles arrive from the House, maybe on Jan 21.

He has to make noises during the transition. Have meetings with the RNC and talk about candidates for cabinet positions from the RNC. We will rage until we realize these are all rumors and he has nominated none of them. He has to buy time until actually sworn in.

Then remember, it is against the law to remove civil service people without cause. They have to be transferred to meaningless positions, and paid while in them. Trump will have to put business people in charge after a conversation with them about The Swamp. There will be no compelling need for the interim Secretary of State to travel and negotiate anything. His job will be to revamp diplomat training and from the bottom up, eliminate Swamp applicants.

It will take time.
