    How little vetting must have gone into the decision? Dubious claims of being an attorney aside, if they had done any sort of mock press conference her complete lack of public speaking ability should have been evident.

      I think it comes from the conservative mindset that someone competent and capable in one field will be similarly competent and capable in other fields

      Simply put: They believe in a hierarchy. Some people are imherently better at everything than others

      She was competent and capable in her previous role of being an ass kisser. Because she was able to butter Trump up, it was assumed she would be good at any role, and she had “the look” Trump wanted (she looked like his daughter)

      Background checks at fast food restaurants are more thorough than the vetting process that goes into Whitehouse staff in this admin. Would not be surprised if it’s chock full of spies.

      In a sane world after all the “fallout” from finding out they did zero vetting with a lot of iSSe goons you’d think they’d start doing a tad better for higher profile positions.

      But then again in a sane world iSSe wouldn’t exist and this orange kid diddler would be fucking locked up in jail
