    Of all the nominees, I think this is the one that is most mind boggling to me. It just makes no sense from any perspective. Even drain the swamp MAGA types can’t really get behind it when she’s just another two faced politician.

      Most of the appointments are just career politicians or career political pundits. They’re not outsiders.

      Trump never wanted to drain the swap. He wants to rule it.

      They are getting behind her though, any video I’ve seen talking about her history with Russia, China and Syria is getting inundated with Trumpers yelling that it’s leftist propaganda and shouting that “they didn’t start talking about it until she became a republican”. It’s ridiculous and there’s no argument that would convince these people otherwise.

        Tough to judge from internet activity, since those aren’t necessarily American MAGAs. They could be anything, with the internet being both global and pseudo-anonymous. I would certainly expect that reaction from influence campaigns.

      After the whole stolen documents fiasco I’m not surprised at all, Trump wants her full time job to be flipping through intel reports and flagging ones other nations would pay money for him to smuggle to them.

        I’m not fond of the picks, but I can at least perceive the MAGA-logic, oxymoron though that may be.
