Presidential Appointments
We gotta ask...

Our suggestions are strictly policy based
We believe a presidential cabinet appointee should be evaluated based on things like their experience and the policies they are likely to advocate. Not on memberships in organizations.
That said, all evidence shows that the nominees listed in this discussion would not advocate policies that are in the interests of the overwhelming majority of Americans. This is especially true of these...
o Scott Pruitt (EPA): Has sued the EPA to stop them from implementing pollution restrictions
o Andrew Puzder (Labor): Has fought against employer protections
o Tom Price (Health and Human Services): Has fought against health care policies that would help most Americans.
o Betsy DeVos (Education): Has fought against public education
o Ben Carson (HUD): Has advocated against protections from housing discrimination.
