President-elect Trump's Cabinet picks

So...for all of you who voted for former President Trump on the issues of the economy and immigration...did you count on all of the "loyalists" to be rewarded with being nominated for cabinet posts? The only nomination I had heard of so far who is at least halfway qualified is Marco Rubio. Pete Hegseth a Fox cohost? Tulsi Gabbard a former never-Trumper? Matt Gaetz??? The only hope is that there will be at least a few Republicans with balls to prevent recess appointments and even bigger balls to say no to people who are not in the least qualified.

The only concern I have is he is plucking GOP congressman and senators out of the House and Senate for these appointments. The House majority margin is paper-thin, the Senate not much better. We don't want these people replaced with horrid Democrats, causing the GOP to lose its majorities. If Democrats retake the House, they will impeach Trump in Week 1 for not serving enough french fries during his 15-minute McDonalds stint.

@graphite I thought of that too… surely he is taking that into consideration.
