Every Trump appointee will disappoint you

from Palin for VA secy to Mnuchin at Treasury, but what will make you pick up your phone and ask your senators to kick the hugest fuss around?

For me, it will always be Jeff Sessions. If someone needs to be stopped, that is the person I want to focus on.

This is why I think people need to resolve to pick a few issues, because the Senate minority cannot block all appointments. They can attempt to block some more than others.

We MUST follow the McConnell method of governance. Block, stall, impede, rinse and repeat.

like if it's Rudy Giuliani, he needs to be stopped.

But otherwise I agree about Sessions.

Though DeVos is just AWFUL, probably a worse person than Sessions.

by Trump. No matter who is SOS crazy trump foreign policy will follow.

Colin Powell was SOS and lied to the UN. And he is one of the respectable GOP leaders.
