Stephen Collinson: “Donald Trump’s increasingly provocative Cabinet picks have left some Republican senators aghast and Washington in shock.”
“But they really shouldn’t. Because the outrage is the point…”
“The dismay engulfing establishment elites contrasted with the euphoria rocketing through conservative networks and social media among Trump fans. The president-elect draws political strength from his position as an outsider scourge of the establishment, and if his picks are confirmed by the Senate — a huge if in the case of Gaetz — they will be tasked with his mission of defenestrating government and driving out those Trump sees as enemies.”
