1. I am not a “Trump only fan.” I wouldn’t support DeSantis even if Trump retired from politics and endorsed him.

So. You would happily vote for Nikki, Pence or even Chris Christie?

 

2. My point about those senior appointees is that the President doesn’t pick them. They are subject to Senate confirmation, so you’re going to see the same career bureaucrat losers in those roles no matter which Republican wins.

I can see that happening.

 

Interestingly, one thing I can absolutely envision Trump doing as President that DeSantis wouldn’t do in a thousand years is leave senior executive branch posts vacant if he can’t get his people confined.

Baloney. Trump only made worse his picks (Session to Barr) as he gained experience in the White House. What makes you think he will change?

No. I would write in Dave Chappelle’s name if any of those dopes were nominated by the GOP.

You’re forgetting that some of those cabinet posts have interim/acting posts written into the law. The AG post, for example, doesn’t stay vacant if nobody is appointed. The Deputy AG takes over on an interim basis if the AG is fired or resigns.

And I know Trump is inclined to leave some executive branch posts vacant because he did it for some posts while he was President. The five-member U.S. Surface Transportation Board, for example, only had two members for much of Trump’s term because he couldn’t bother naming any replacements when terms were expiring.
