Actually you can hardly ever do that. Not often one runs as a Dem or a Pub. And those that run as Libertarians, more often than not, don't have a clue what that is.

Oddly enough, if you go by actual experience in governing, Gary Johnson was far and away the most qualified candidate in the election......

True. Not so good at getting elected though. My guy Rand Paul wasn't either.

I thought everyone thought Schumer was a clown. Are people mad because he said "head" clown?

Of course. They're all unqualified, but donated big money to Obama's campaigns.

Technically, not true - about 30% of them are career diplomats.

I'm sure Trump will do better than 30% - right?

Too late. Reid didn't honor any of the republicans' wishes and the rules for voting on nominees were changed.

Senate Dems, powerless to stop Trump nominees, regret 'nuclear option' power play

(CNN)Senate Democrats are eager to make Donald Trump pay a political price for nominating staunch conservatives to fill out his Cabinet, hoping to exact revenge for the GOP's stubborn opposition to President Barack Obama's nominees.

But there is little they can do about it -- and some top Democrats are now coming to regret it.

That's because Senate Democrats muscled through an unprecedented rules change in 2013 to weaken the power of the minority party to filibuster Cabinet-level appointees and most judicial nominees, now setting the threshold at 51 votes -- rather than 60 -- to overcome tactics aimed at derailing nominations.

With the Senate GOP poised to hold 52 seats next Congress, some Democrats now say they should have thought twice before making the rules change -- known on Capitol Hill as the "nuclear option."

"I do regret that," said Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, a Democrat who voted for the rules change three years ago. "I frankly think many of us will regret that in this Congress because it would have been a terrific speed bump, potential emergency break, to have in our system to slow down nominees."

Well the conformation of Sessions for AG begins tomorrow. This out to be good! I suppose one of the Democrats will ask Session if he thnks Hillary will be investigate further?
It ought to be worth a laugh to watch him answer, you bet! It seem the FBI never quit. Trump can now just be cool, know nothing.

Apple seeks to expand manufacturing in Arizona

Amid pressure to build products at home, Apple is seeking to conduct "high-tech manufacturing" at one of its American plants, according to a federal government filing.

...

Apple has reportedly been looking to expand its cloud services to compete with rivals like Amazon and Google, The Information reported last year. Meanwhile, president-elect Donald Trump has said as president he would "create the incentives" to get Apple to "build a big plant in the United States."
