    Every pick has been specifically chosen to be bad for their role.

    Gaetz was 100% chosen for ATTORNEY GENERAL because of the accusations.

      Kinda feels like it. I wonder if the idea is to lower the bar for the next pick – someone who sucks 75% as badly?

        I think he’s testing loyalty in the party. I think he wants exactly who he has chosen.

      It’s like one massive trolling so they can say “see how bad it could have been? Now take this close to but not quite as bad choice and like it.”

      He will never top Romney for head of the DOE. Yes yes it’s bad to appoint people as a form of trolling but you have to admit sometimes he’s funny.

          Ah yeah that’s right, Rick Perry. I’m glad I remember anything from the 2012 republican primary let alone which guy tanked his campaign with a debate gaffe.

            He didn’t remember because Rick Perry wasn’t wearing his fedora. “A governor? Perry the governor!”

            Haha yeah he’s not too memorable otherwise but it’s a funny mistake since Romney and Trump hate each other.

              At this point Romney feels like the guy who was the villain in the first season, but he has a small recurring role as one of the good guys who pose for merchandise but don’t actually affect the plot… So he’s Tien now I guess.
