 Matt Gaetz is a pretty gross and weird dude imo, plus the unwavering Trump support. Yeah…anyway! In the spirit of open-mindedness, it could also be a signal of moving away from corporate bullshit in the appointment.

 I'm foolish enough to believe that the nation's attorney general should be a competent, impeccably qualified, experienced lawyer with unimpeachable character. Gaetz falls embarrassingly short of that criteria.

 I like Gaetz for those reasons and more but I appreciate your open mindedness.

 If some of these administration picks go on to carry the direction of the gop after Trump, I genuinely welcome the change as a non-republican. Even though I agree with only 10-30% of what some of these people say, this initial team is leagues ahead of anything W, Cheney put forward.
