The hopeless future of this administration

There has never been so much controversy about presidents nominating the cabinets. Usually people nominated are somewhat qualified and they get confirmed by Congress no problem at all. In fact I usually have no idea who is holding what post.

But you just cannot hide from the news coverage of Betsy Devos and her grizzly bear comment. Now has there ever been actual grizzly bear attack on Wyoming students?

For more explanation of why she is not qualified, see https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/07/opinion/betsy-devos-teaches-the-value-of-ignorance.html for example.

Why does she even want this job? She must be qualified to do other things... such as funding Republicans.

Republicans has majority... unfortunately not enough Republicans voted otherwise (just 2) and that required the Vice President to do the historic tie breaking vote. It seems like it is now meaningless to vote. Republicans get what they want.

Do the 50 Republicans believe she is actually qualified for this job? Or they just go with whoever Trump picks. Or they will approve whoever that gives them money.

This administration is getting hopeless. I am not too surprised. And yet, some people still think Trump is going to make America great.
