* “These are experts who know how to win,” spokesman Jason Miller said Wednesday.”*

I rest my case.

AP should be listed under “Fake News”

I don’t agree with this article. Trump’s cabinet picks are great and the individuals he have picked are specialists in what Trump needs to get done.

Please, why post AP shite when we already can predict what it will say? What’s the point?

Anybody who Trump picks will be vilified by the AP - I’d like to hear who their ideal candidates for these positions should be.

I guess the AP thinks Trump should hire people who have absolutely no expertise in they field he is promoting them to.

Hey, it worked for Obama. For the country...not so much.

The first sentence is one big lie. So I didn’t read any further. Who does he expect Trump to appoint to top posts? Farmers? Bums?

I bet only swamp dwellers even know who is the secretary of transportation. Show of hands, without looking it up...who here knows the name of Obama’s secretary of transportation?

While I do have some reservations about Trump’s cabinet picks so far, I also trust that he knows what he’s doing, he’s picking people he knows will follow his lead, and most importantly, he knows will be loyal in the long run.

Sessions is a good choice for sure, although I always thought Trey Gowdy would be good too. I know some people say he hasn’t gotten a lot done, but he’s also been stonewalled every step of the way and never gave up, and has an excellent record as a prosecutor. He’s also just an investigator now, not a prosecutor.

The rest I don’t know a lot about, but they seem to be pretty solid. I do have to wonder about the woman who is going to be over education, she’s known as a common core supporter. 9can’t remember her name.)

Overall, I have to just trust his instincts...

Is the media really that stupid? You don’t drain the swamp but kicking everyone out and not using anyone expertise. I don’t know if they are this dumb or purposely misrepresenting things. Also, would you prefer he select broke people from Black lives matters to the the treasury?

I’ll give him 100 days to see how things play out before rendering judgment.

It’s like Mark Levin, he’s just there to complain. That’s ALL he does, he sounds like a liberal

The left feels that the choices should come from academia.

So far, all of Trump’s appointments are in the “can’t be bought” category.

I didn't come close to getting that far. I quit after reading "Julie Pace".

I was listening to #NeverTrump Levin on my way back from a client tonight. He was railing on about Trumps picks not being Conservative and part of the swamp because Commerce and Treasury heads are Billionaires.

I was tempted to call his show and ask him who would he put in charge of these Departments? Freddy the Freeloader? I sure wouldn’t want a bonehead academic or some moron that writes for Kiplinger.

I was just too tired from working a 14 hour day to be willing to deal with him. I did want to call him up and say ...”Get off my radio, you big dope!”
