 Trump set to take office without most of his Cabinet

Republicans are on track to take longer to fill out his team than for any administration since George H.W. Bush in 1989.

When Bill Clinton was sworn into office 24 years ago, every single member of his Cabinet but one was confirmed by the Senate within two days. When Donald Trump is sworn in on Friday, he’ll be lucky to have half that many installed.

With Republicans in control of the White House and the Senate, it wasn’t supposed to be this difficult for Trump to get his team in place posthaste, especially since Democrats did away with the 60-vote requirement for Cabinet nominees. But all signs are pointing to a slog for Trump and the Senate GOP, even if Republicans believe eventually all of Trump's picks will be approved.

  Does anyone think there will be any noticeable difference in his Admiration with or without a cabinet?   
  At least they'll be a marker set for comparative differences.
