I always thought that he was appointed SecDef as a link to wider political groups that supported 41, and as a pedagogue for Condi, until she was ready for a cabinet job herself.
Condi is also a lib. She should have never been placed in that position either. The Republican party has been severely damaged by these people. Rush should pull his head out of his ass and start calling them out.
We don’t need anymore traitors to our cause embedded within our cabinet. These people are the ones that are helping are President with policy decisions.
At least have people in positions that agree with the party platform. Jeesh.
