Cabinet changes not unusual
Having this number of cabinet changes at the start of a second term is not unusual. Where are we now (looking at watch) ....... six? seven?

IIRC, Clinton had seven and Reagan had six (and I believe both of their cabinets were smaller than Chimpus Kahn's, so the percentages were actually higher.)

I *do** think what's unusual here is the rapidity of the announcements and the rapidity with which key successors are being named. I also think this is the first time where fitness for the position is blatantly being tossed aside in favor of syncophancy. Never before have so many talented people been push aside in favor of lock step "on message" positions.

Kinda scary, really ........ :shrug:
