NATALIE WINTERS (CO-HOST): Mike Davis do you want to add anything?
MIKE DAVIS (GUEST): I actually worked on political appointments in a prior Republican administration and it's critically important. We have about 3,000 political appointees who are supposed to run an executive branch with, you know, nearly 3 million people, so we're outnumbered about 1,000 to 1 and if you get the wrong political appointees in these 3,000 slots, you're going to lose entire swaths of the executive branch. So it's critically important.
You need two things to be a political appointee of a president. You need to be both competent and you have to be loyal. You have to be both, you can't be one or the other. You have to have both. That is what's going to be so important in this next administration is to get people who are both competent and more importantly loyal in these jobs.
