If there is ever again a non-hard-left president, he should watch the next few weeks and follow what Biden does. D’s are smart. They get rid of every single person from the previous administration immediately.
R’s don’t understand this and pay mightily in the form of knives slid into their backs.
The problem is that Dem Senators will refuse to confirm any replacement, so the office will be held by a subordinate who is just as Dem as the one fired.
If McConnell and the Senate Republicans bend over and easily confirm Biden’s nominees, it will be time to primary every damn one of them.
