The transition period after the election now seems like a couple of administrations ago,* but I remember those background articles that talked about how, even then, establishment Republicans who would have been the types to serve in these kinds of positions weren’t exactly excitedly returning the Trump Transition Team’s phone calls. And now that their prescience seems spot-on and Trump has turned his administration and party into a big ol’ vanity project, well, look at what’s adhering to the bottom of the barrel when you have to scrape like they do now . . . and finally, to the Senate GOPers’ (very) small credit, look at them say No.

Little victories.

*in no small part because the amount of turnover we’ve seen in this administration equals that of a couple of administrations . . .

And so, having put forward a couple of known incompetents who were sure to fail, they will try to make us feel as if they are more reasonable by putting up a couple of right winger tools who have less baggage, but are likely to be just as destructive.

Let’s skip to chase and just have Trump nominate one of his children to the Fed. We know that’s what he really wants to do.

Key is the 3rd word on the headline, “Casting” as in for a reality show???
