        “Could have done a lot worse” is the motto of the new administration

        Better than “absolutely the worst” like the last one.

        They’re not great from a left perspective, but we lost and they won, and these picks are certainly better than Obama’s initial picks!

        If they actually manage to block Rahm Emmanuel (skeptical he doesn't end up in the WH in some capacity) I say the left should consider it a win. I know Bernie in Labor is still in play

        How do the new appointees constitute a win for the left?

        So, which ones could he not have done worse?

        He has yet to nominate an actual Republican. That’s pretty much the bar here

        He's going to be lucky to get any through the Senate confirmation hearings. Minimum of 45 No votes on every nominee.

        The main theme of the next 4 years will be “well, it could have been worse” and that sucks.
