I love when Gabbard uses the term neocon the media doesn't declare that to be an anti-semitic buzzword.

Gabbard is a great representative of the Democratic Party, glad to see her be influential!

Yeah, if Gabbard wants to act as a check on the neocons Trump's already filling his cabinet with, then I'm all for it.  Less US involvement around the world was supposed to be a perk of a Trump presidency, and with all the confirmed appointments so far he's signaled that this won't be the case.

Will that be "getting hauled around the nation like a pet chihuahua" service, or "taking out petty grievances on the public" service?

I'd welcome her to the cabinet if I were Trump or a Trump adviser, though I fear she'll ultimately depart early in frustration and that it will be ugly for all involved. Still, she's very much qualified for a position in the cabinet. I'd take her over Curtis freaking LeMay Mike Flynn in a heartbeat.

Why would Ben Carson be qualified to run Housing and URBAN development? Oh wait, yeah, right.  

Same reason Jared Kushner should lead talks in the Middle East.

It'd be nice if people shared links that were not beyond a paywall. I can't afford to pay a monthly fee to read whatever regurgitated gossip the media gets from Twitter.

You don't need to pay anything.  It's the WSJ.  All you need to do is Google the headline (in this case "Mitt Romney Leads Donald Trump’s Picks for Secretary of State") and you get a version that you can read for free.

For whatever reason, that trick doesn't work unless you click the link directly off of Google.  The best I can do is say to go here:

Google search link

and then click the link at the top of that page.

Yesterday, Buzzfeed said that the short list for Secretary of Education was down to two names: Michelle Rhee and Betsy DeVos:

Today, Rhee took herself out of the running:
