Lauren Tomlinson: Trump’s Nominees Chosen to ‘Blow Up’ Bureaucracy

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BLITZER: “You used to work in the U.S. Senate on the intelligence committee, right? So what‘s your assessment right now?”
TOMLINSON: “So my assessment is more of a political one at this point, which is he does feel like he has a mandate. And then the question is, and I think the big takeaway from this election is the people wanted change. So what is qualifications? We‘re all sitting in D.C. saying that these qualifications need to come from a place of experience. And we and we measure it in a certain way. Donald Trump‘s coming in and saying, we‘re going to blow this up and you see this from the dodge, you know, efficiency committee that he‘s put together and a lot of these other things, and my question remains, you know, how do we actually determine in this new mandate what is qualified and what isn‘t? Because I think that that‘s going to be what Trump is going to say is, I don‘t want people that go in and can maneuver the bureaucracy and pull these levers, I want people to go in and blow it up. And so that‘s what people elected him to do. And I think that‘s what you‘re seeing with a lot of these confirmation picks.”
