    The biggest thing, I'd say, is appointing radicals to Cabinet posts. But that's just me. (And 100 million others.)

    ?? I thought we were talking about Trump Tower/Secret Service.

    But, ok...

    Who has he appointed to a cabinet post who is a "radical"?

    Did the USCG pay that money to the Bushes? The fact Trump is profiting off his security detail is the red flag.

    The woman who hates public education to Education.

    (Of course, the charter school push is just an effort to resegregate schools.)

    You are correct that your strawman was quite transparent, but you did use it. Copping to it with attitude is lame, but I guess it is the best we will get from you.

    I never disagreed with your overall point. My issue was with your ridiculous approach to it.

    Those two things are not disqualifying at all. Her lack of experience in education and desire to drive public money into private education is an issue. Her lack of public school experience fits into the overall argument against her, but I think you could find some outstanding candidates for Secretary of Education who never attended a public school.

    Anybody who has seen the push to use public money for private schools on a local scale would understand what a disaster it creates. It isn't just about resegregation, though that is certainly a potential outcome. It is about getting the government to pay for private, religious education. It is an attack on the separation of church and state.

    It's the exact same situation that Joe Biden has with the Secret Service.

    Yeah and to funnel public money to Billy Bob's Bible-Beating Academy to promote their own version of Republican Gun-Toting Jayzus.

    How does that change the ethics of the situation?
