For an education Secretary, she sure lacks in English comprehension

@qhsperson 6 лет назад

She lacks everything except a billion dollars, which is how she got the job.

@ch3burashka 6 лет назад

You misunderstand; she is a debate master, not by skill but by result. She wasted minutes on one question, masterfully.

@ruthdepew7212 6 лет назад

ch3burashka, I would really like to agree with you, but I think it would be more appropriate to give her a big bouncy ball for finally answering the question like a big girl.

On any issue. 3She has cut the budget preventing proper education to rural and inner city disadvantaged schools. 4Shes never attended nor worked for any public school system. 5and in a pay-to-play administration, she and her immediate family has "donated" over 200 million dollars for the republican party.. Ok. I'm busy troll. Go read a book.

The problem with that question was that it conflates Betsy Devos's religious beliefs about homosexuality ...So she tried her utmost not to answer the question definitively....But I have to commend the congresswoman's persistence and resilience in getting an answer about discriminatory practices in any school setting...

@kuribojim3916 6 лет назад

It doesn’t necessarily conflate her personal beliefs with the law - the question was about the law, not her beliefs. She was being deliberately obtuse.

@josephparker646 6 лет назад

If no one else challenges Trump in 2020 I think I must. One of my key differences is I care about the quality of the cabinet so for each area I would seek experts in the field. My secretary of state would be a political scientist, my education secretary would be an education administration expert, my treasury secretary would be a economist, my HUD would be a civil engineer or civil services management expert. I personally think to be effective both requires ideals and expertise. My smaller area of difference is my view of criticism. I don't care if people don't like me but I do care if they are being led by bad information.
