So your candidate lost?

I’d like to say I’m sorry about that, but that would be lying. I know lying is big for your candidate, but it’s wrong. I am not sorry he lost. In fact, I’m relieved he lost. Even more, I’m excited he lost!

I’m excited to see a new Secretary of Education who is not a corrupt, anti-public education hack and who won’t try to cut funding to Special Olympics.

I’m excited to see a new Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, who is not hell bent on destroying the environment.

I’m excited to see a new Secretary of State, who is not corrupt, takes diplomacy and allies seriously and is not “otherwise known as the international man of catastrophe”.

I’m excited to see a new Secretary of Commerce who hasn’t been subject to lawsuits and SEC fines, and hasn’t participated in shady business dealings.

I’m excited to see a new Secretary of Health and Human Services who doesn’t take health of all Americans for granted, and acts with urgency and empathy, even if it goes against a demand of the President.

I’m excited for a new Secretary of Transportation who is not corrupt.

I’m excited for a new Secretary of Veterans Affairs who won’t treat our veterans
