1. She is a nutjob!

3. That's a requirement for a job in the Trump administration.

8. It would create another potential pick up in November

In that regard, I'm okay with it

10. probably not in Iowa anymore.

2. her claim to fame, hog calling?

I know she's served in the Iowa Nat. Guard, but is she just another Koch puppet intent on screwing over the military in the name of privatization?

[Bettie]

6. Pretty Much sums up what she is

she'd be awful in this job, but she's also an awful senator.

11. pig castrating which may be her medical tie in

All republicans want is somebody - anybody - who will privatize the VA.

4. Even she recognizes she doesn't have the background

to administer such an agency. I would like to see you leave the Senate seat though, but after governor's election.

5. What an insult to Vets! Vets' healthcare obviously does not matter to Trump.

7. "Make 'em squeal" Joni

Just what we need, a pig castrator by trade running the VA and making the vets squeal. Is that worse or better than a drunk doctor?

[Autumn]

9. I think the drunk doctor might be a better bet. We can always hope he passes out.

God.

12. hey if she takes the job, that's another senate seat opening up

the executive branch is completely fucked over now, intentionally so. i would be surprised if anyone remotely competent and responsible were nominated for any cabinet position. but if Trump can slurp up enough of the senate's detritus into his rogues' gallery, we might just swing the senate this year.
