    But I think that’s the point. He’s a nobody yes-man who won’t exercise any influence that could challenge Trump. Learned that lesson with the last pick, who wouldn’t even commit some light treason to illegally keep Trump in power.

        A whole network of family and friends stepped in to raise him when his parents fell apart, and the generosity of scholarships and government grants for the economically disadvantaged paid his way through a Yale education, all so he could turn around and write a book about how poor people are actually lazy and just need to tug those bootstraps harder and start hitting their kids again

      This dude seems to be pretty sharp and is a huge threat. Him and his Peter Theil buddies are working hard to outright destroy democracy. I wouldn’t write this guy off as a yes-man.
