Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Despite the laughable credentials of most of Trump's nominees, though, the Republican-led Senate will certainly bow to their party leader and give Trump most of the people he wants.
54% : Still, Trump will eventually populate his carnival with most of the geeks of his choice, so take a seat as the curtain rises on the scariest political freak show this country has ever seen.
51% : To run the Health and Human Services Department Trump has picked a a famous name -- the anti-vaccine, anti-fluoride oddball Robert F. Kennedy Jr.For attorney general, Trump wants Matt Gaetz, a bomb-throwing congressman with scant legal experience who was being investigated for sex trafficking by the very Justice Department he would be heading if confirmed for the job.
46% : Rather than making appointments to these crucial positions with competence and experience in mind, Trump seems to have grabbed for his team a gaggle of unqualified minor right wing celebrities that randomly caught his attention on Fox News.
19% : To oversee the nation's intelligence agencies, Trump has put forward a conspiracy-obsessed ex-congressman, Tulsi Gabbard, who has a disturbing penchant for parroting Russian propaganda.
18% : Trump is also bringing back to the White House as his deputy chief of staff Steven Miller, once a weirdo high school kid with neo-fascist ideas who, as an adult, now has the power to inflict his twisted America First dogma on desperate immigrants and other "enemies of the people.
