Tulsi Gabbard's Nomination Is a National-Security Risk

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : I have no idea why Trump nominated Gabbard; she's been a supporter, but she hasn't been central to his campaign, and he owes her very little.
44% : But Trump could also be engaging in a ploy to bring in someone else.
38% : Americans usually accept that presidents reward loyalists with jobs, and Trump has the right to stash Gabbard at some make-work office in the bureaucracy if he feels he owes her.
36% : For someone as grubbily transactional as Trump, it's not an appointment that makes much sense.
20% : (Hard to imagine who might be worse as DNI than Gabbard, but remember that Trump has promised at various times to bring retired General Mike Flynn back into government.
12% : It's possible that Trump hates the intelligence community -- which he blames for many of his first-term troubles -- so much that Gabbard is his revenge.
