I like it. He has the right background and experience and if he passed the “family interview” then he has the right stuff to work with Trump in this role.
This is also a terrific example of what can happen for people who get onboard the Trump Train. Being an asshat has probably cost Ted Cruz a Supreme Court seat for being too pigheaded to do the same.
I supported Cruz for POTUS but, you know what? There are dozens of better candidates for SCOTUS starting with Joan Larsen of the Michigan Supreme Court, 48 years old, who clerked for Scalia and has none of the manifest drawbacks of a politician appointed to SCOTUS. By the time of the GOP convention, I had hope that Trump might make a good candidate. By election day, I had not felt that good about any candidate since Reagan. Cruz made a fool of himself.
