Re: Trump Staff Picks
Interesting statistic on the turnover rate.
Clinton had a pretty nasty first term- with the healthcare reform failure and the "bimbo eruptions". And the impeachment. Perhaps history is repeating itself.
WSJ and CNBC had editorials and articles about the fact that there are still over hundreds of open positions in the Trump Adminstration and many of the positions have no nominee. There's different takes on this- the right-wing Press (WSJ) blames the Democrats for holding up nominations, the left-wing Press (HuffPo) points out that Trump is having trouble finding people who are interested in the jobs. There's validity to both statements.
CNBC's graph shows that the number of nominees is low. The number of failures is relatively high for the number of nominees:
After 500 days, hundreds of White House jobs remain unfilled by Trump administration [CNBC]
Check out the graph on the openings at the State Department. Trump fired all of the ambassadors and there's a lot of unfilled positions. We pretty much have a non-functioning State department.
Released today:

There are none so blind as he who will not see. I wonder who he's going to blame for jumping ship? Oh, silly me. It's all 'fake news', isn't it?
