      There’s some that aren’t completely off the rails party loyalists. There’s Liz Cheney. And Charlie Baker. And probably at least a couple more.

        And none of them should be appointed by a Democratic president to their cabinet. There are plenty of Democrats that don’t need the qualification of being “not completely off the rails Republican loyalists”.

          Sure. But it’s also a show of good faith and working across party lines. Any RINO could do that.

          We’re talking about a group of people that legitimately believe that anybody with a D next to their name is an actual demonic monster. At some point they will need to be convinced otherwise.

            How many times do the Democrats need to reach across the aisle with a “show of good faith” and have it thrown back in their faces for you to realize this is fucking stupid? It’s not like someone only just now proposed and enacted “shows of good faith” to an increasingly radicalizing Republican party. That’s been standard operating procedure for decades.

            And they don’t give two shits if you elevate the RINOs. They already don’t believe they’re representing conservatism.

    Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy is a cabinet-level position. I’m sure there’s some Republican Lite “I hate taxes” scientist she can find.
