some people are just looking for things to bitch about,
people bitched and whined and ran to their safe places when Ben Cardin was picked for HUD.people said what does a doctor know about housing and urban development?
now people are bitching because trump picks people who have experience in the particular field for the department they are appointed to.
no president has ever made everyone happy with his cabinet picks,why don`t you post your list of people who believe are uncorrupted and have experience in their field for each cabinet?

Trump's pick to head the SEC has a history of defending big banks.

Anyone detecting a pattern here?
If Trump was a Libertarian or even a Conservative, he would begin the process of dismantling these unconstitutional agencies/bureaucracies and sending the power back to the states.
But as a lifelong Democrat, Trump doesnt understand this concept.
To make matters worse, most, if not all of his appointments are industry insiders...
What happened to that draining the swamp thing?
Ok guys, joke's over.
Lets just swear Rand in as POTUS and move on.
