How could this happen? Trump actually chose a cabinet member with some relevant experience!

Trump has gone out of his way to pick unqualified people for his cabinet.

Last night, he surprised me by picking Sonny Perdue (former governor of Georgia) as Agriculture secretary. Amazingly, Perdue actually has some experience and knowledge of the agriculture. Georgia has a large agricultural component, and Perdue himself was in the chicken business, and understands the needs of farmers and growers.

He actually is qualified to do the job. That’s a first for Trump. A reasonable choice. He is a former democrat, turned republican.

Not to say that he is perfect – he’s a died in the wool conservative and all that brings along.

But he’s actually qualified for his position. Who’da thunk it?
