Trump's Picks

By Rich Kozlovich

I keep hearing and seeing reports from leftist Democrat talking heads that Trump's transition is chaotic and a disgrace.  Well,  I didn't see any chaos - I did see a lot more openness and thoughtfulness than I expected, and what we all should have expected and didn't - Trump's willingness to reach out to well respected and competent people who were opponents - at times fierce opponents - during the campaign. And it turns out Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are praising Trump's transition leadership.

So where's the chaos the left is talking about?

Perhaps the transition leadership they're thinking about is the next likely leader of the Democrat Party just praised Fidel Castro.  No chaos there! Right?

Here's his picks as of December 1, 2016, and not one of them praised Fidel Castro.  I can see why the Democrats are outraged.
