“But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re politically unqualified.”

“The ongoing battle on Capitol Hill over Trump’s selections underscores how outsider bona fides and shake-it-up attitudes now imbue would-be secretaries with credibility. That’s in contrast to steady-as-she-goes mantras and beefy résumés in a government bureaucracy that voters believe has failed them.”
