Con job
Those who have given President-elect Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt can now see that it was all a big con job.
He dangled Mitt Romney on a stick for days, and even took him out to a fancy dinner, but appointed the chief of Exxon Mobil instead for the secretary of State; and he has chosen an education secretary who is a threat to public education by aggressively pursuing a voucher system for charter schools. These people have only one quality in common, loyalty to Donald Trump, and experience be damned. The ultimate con job is on the American people.
