If you've spent any time whatsoever on social media or watching traditional media this week you know our pals on the Left (and even some on the Right) are really and truly losing their minds over Trump's picks for his administration thus far. Or as Jake Tapper called them, MAGA WARRIORS. No, he wasn't trying to be cool but ... it is cool, right? That's who Trump has been nominating, people he knows won't get in office and then go behind his back and sabotage him. He had plenty of that crap the first time around.
And please, let's not pretend Joe Biden picked winners for his administration. Per Elizabeth MacDonald, let's take a stroll down memory lane and gander at just how unqualified HIS picks were:
Jared Bernstein, Chair of Council of Economic Advisors - not an economist, Bachelor’s degree in music, masters in sociology
Pete Buttigieg, Transportation Secretary - no transportation background, Mayor of Indiana, “pothole Pete”
Mayorkas, DHS Secretary - no security background, lawyer, Asst U.S. attorney, Obama transition team
Jennifer Granholm, Energy Secy - no energy background, Michigan Governor
Gina Raimondo, Commerce Secretary - No trade background, Gov of Rhode Island
Deb Haaland, Interior Secy - New Mexico Congressman
And just for kicks…Bill Nye, the environmentalist “Science Guy” — no background in environmentalism or science, he’s a mechanical engineer and comedy writer

So far Trump's picks seem to have several characteristics:
* Experience in what they will lead;
* A FAFO motive pertinent to what they will lead;
* Policy views in line with Trump's;
* Won't backstab Trump;
* Have earned Progs' hate.
