to say "no" to people that just aren't qualified. Ben Carson as HUD is another one. He has ZERO experience in housing or urban development. If the Republicans want to be taken seriously in re: appointments in the future, they have to set some standard for whom they approve for Trump (like, I don't, at least a month or so experience in the area they are going to be secretary of).
