[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the posts about Trump's cabinet selections, there has been almost universal condemnation by liberals of just about all his nominations.

I don't understand the rationale for this: of course, Trump has been selecting conservatives for the most part who would not be the choice of liberals. But this is not any different than when Obama selected his cabinet or Supreme Court nominations - he selected individuals who shared his political philosophy.

Are there any nominations or appointments by Trump that liberals feel represent qualified individuals even if they don't agree with their conservative leanings?[/quote]

Really?  Why don't you tell us all the names of all the people Obama nominated who had no experience whatsoever working on the issues they were nominated to be in charge of?  Or of those associated with neo-nazi fake news sites?  Or of those who push conspiracy theories on twitter?

And have you not been reading all the posts by Democrats/liberals saying please god let the SOS be Mitt Romney [b]because he is the only sane person on the list?[/b]

And did you not know that Obama picked as a replacement for Scalia a moderate whom just about every Republican senator years before had said was an example of a good moderate SCOTUS nominee??  But because it was Obama nominating him, the white boys of the senate thought they could teach that president a lesson and refuse to consider him.

As a liberal, I will say the majority of his appointments are sane and many are qualified. I don't like their political philosophy in some instances but that is neither here nor there because like it or not, Trump won the election and he made it abundantly clear that he was going to appoint conservatives. I am surprised at quite how conservative some of them are but that is his right.

Most will sail through because quite frankly the Republicans control the senate and there are several Democrats who are shit scared they will be voted out of office in 2018 and are likely to support confirmation. And since there is no filibuster - thanks to Reid and the Democrats - there should be no stumbling blocks.[/quote]
