Trump is a total outsider. He has to depend on the Reps to make recommendations as far as staffing is concerned. There are about 4,000 jobs in the Plum Book. Tillerson was recommended by Bob Gates.
I give Trump credit for getting rid of the dead wood. Lincoln did something similar with his generals. Keep changing until you get the right one.
He’s got thousands of lawyers he can hire - from the Federalist Society. Why is he hiring these Bush/Romney boobs who have no loyalty and not much intelligence??
