GOP Needs To Fight For Trump’s Nominees, Then Hold Them Accountable
Derek Hunter
Are President-Elect Donald Trump’s nominees conventional? The pundit class would lead you to believe that they are not, that they “have no experience” in the areas relevant to the positions they’ve been nominated to fill. That would be relevant information, were it a standard used in the past – used on Democrats as well – but it is not. In fact, not a single one of President Joe Biden’s nominees received a “no” vote from a single Senate Democrat, no matter how unqualified they were for their job. Why should it be any different with Donald Trump?
Scandal is usually the only disqualifying marker that prevents nominees from being confirmed. Employing an illegal alien as a nanny sunk the first two Attorney General nominees Bill Clinton submitted.
As far as experience goes, former Michigan Govern Jennifer Granholm had no experience in energy before being nominated as Secretary of it. Transportation might have made sense, as she was Governor of the automobile state, but the Department of Energy it was. After confirmation, we found out she’s had a series of stock controversies that were not previous disclosed. Each was initially reported, then almost completely ignored by the corporate media.
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg had zero qualifications for the position, he was a former Mayor of a mid-sized college town in Indiana. He was on paternity leave while the supply chain collapsed and no one seemed to notice it. He has always been in over his head, but he is favored by the media for reasons I’ll leave to your imagination, so responsibility for anything never makes it to his desk.
