[PROCON]

This vet likes the idea of a Veteran handling Veteran's Affairs.

Brown is a loyal Trump supporter and deserves consideration.

[PROCON]

Ping.

[HarleyLady27]

Has ANYONE heard Trump say this???

[Blood of Tyrants]

Turn all the VA hospitals into housing for homeless vets and give vets the ability to see the doctor of their choice.

[be-baw]

For VA you need a hard nose leader who is willing and able to kick ass and take names. I see no reason to think Scott Brown, an opportunistic politician, has the requisite experience to do the job.

[CitizenUSA]

Agreed! Good pick!

[xrmusn]

Might be a decent choice.

Heard a ‘suggestion’ today— not sure if Rush or Chris Plante— but the name Mitt Romney came up as head of VA as he does have a rep as a ‘fixer’....

Didn’t he rescue the Olympics are at least took over and made them ‘work’ when in the US?

‘We’ need FIXERS in high places, not self serving bureaucrats who are worried about weeweeing off the upper echelon of Govt Agencies and not be afraid to CAN those that need canning OR caning....

[pissant]

I could live with this choice. Plus Brown has been extremely loyal to Trump

[Jet Jaguar]

Vets ping.

[LongWayHome]

Good place for Scott. He’s got 35 years in military service under his belt. He would be trusted. Plus he came out very early for Trump.

Scott Brown endorsed Donald Trump on Groundhog Day, at a NH rally before the NH primary. He contributed to the momentum that propelled Trump to his first electoral victory.

Brown has been a rock-solid Trump supporter and is certainly qualified to fix the VA on behalf of the President.

[SkyPilot]

Don't like him - too weak for the job.

[garjog]

But then don’t we lose a vote in the Senate? MA will replace him with a rat, won’t they?

[RitaOK]

I expect Scott Brown would be good.

Honestly had been thinking ROMNEY, if he just must be brought in at all, and considering that he turned around the US Olympics to great applause by all.

[9YearLurker]

Yep. That’s an obvious one. Good for Brown.

[trebb]

All these rumors being posted - we will have the real scoobies soon enough.

[GailA]

He has a lot to fix besides the poor care. I to would prefer a Veteran in charge. And get rid of the dead cord wood that don’t work or do poor work. Privatize as much as possible.

Hubby with both our SS and his Navy pension is over the cap. Our VA facility is crap for care, but then what did you expect out of Memphis run by dems.

We don’t need a politician at the VA.

We need a CG of Medical Corps from one of the military services.
