in some ways he will be wayyyyyyyyyyyy worse than Bush
there are some areas he could be better than a lot of Presidents but he won't because he is both a dumbass and a really shitty human
He is going to leave with record breaking low approval
but being better than Republicans isn't enough and Dems really need to realize that, so far many haven't seemed to learn
Well when Bush II was coming into office I was like "oh no, it is the Nixon White House....they're back!". And it was true....look at what the did with mass surveillance!
But yes, this group is much worse. Bush's people were experienced and competent. We have a secretary of energy who is a legitimate idiot and who couldn't name that particular department when he said "as president I would close three departments....". We have a secretary of education who has never been a teacher, school administrator, on a public school board, or has ever worked in education in any meaningful way, just for donating $9 mil and being an early supporter. Ben Carson for HUD secretary? He literally said "i don't know how to do this job" and tried to get out of it. He has no experience in welfare experience or policy. When he is interviewed or doing a speech he looks like he has been prescribing himself benzos for at least a decade.
A couple are passable, Mathis is actually a good pick, though I don't think he will last in the Trump cabinet...I don't know if Trump can handle a much greater alpha being so close....he just surrounds himself with sycophants so much lol.
