Does this mean those lines of 10 people deep for each position are down to 9 or 8. LOL! What a clown show.
    Are you familiar with the concept of "fit"? Sometimes a good person is not the right fit. A good boss will put people who fit into each critical position. As President Trump has grown into the job he has to make changes to put the right person in the right position.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Absolutely. Sometimes adjustments have to be made when the occasional misstep has been made. That does remind me though of the story about the 10 time divorcee. It wasn't the other 10 spouses that were the problem.

    I had the good fortune of being a hiring manager. I hired at least 60 engineers. I was unhappy with three of my decisions. All three were let go. Have you ever had any significant responsibilities? You sound as if you have not.

    Why is that? He's a lawyer. He knows the President hires and fires. I'm sure if Mueller read your post he'd wonder how you escaped.

    Yes, I have and have had significant responsibilities. I'd say 3 out of 60 is pretty damn good. What is that, 5%?

    At the time Harvard said one should be happy if 25% of one's hiring choices worked out well. I focused on each candidate's personality rather than rehashing their demonstrated skill sets. I was looking for people with a good "fit".
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Me as well. Unless its a very specific skill set personality, demeanor etc. is more important. Most people can be trained in short order to perform certain things. I'm not sure though that that model works with things such as high level cabinet positions.
