In reply to the discussion: Special Report: HHS chief Azar had aide, former dog breeder, steer pandemic task force [View all]PatSeg

Some of W's appointments were absolutely bizarre. Lots of cronies, friends of friends, and corporate insiders. I really never thought it could be worse. Now I know better. Republicans care about winning elections, taking care of their donors, and increasing their power, but they don't have a clue how to govern.
They often come into office riding on the successes of the Democrats, who preceded them and then they tear it all down, leaving a mess for Democrats to clean up after they leave. Then the cycle starts all over again, except each time republicans are in power, the damage gets much worse.
