The unfilled jobs are due to a variety of factors - difficulty of working for Trump, lack of hiring urgency, blackballing Trump critics, Senate delays, investigations. Some are Trump's fault, some not. But telling good people to stay away has costs at times like these.

We've seen repeatedly how & when good people in the Trump Admin have made a difference & prevented Trump from making worse decisions. We'll probably learn of many more such examples in the years to come.pic.twitter.com/K413CaY3Hg

The essential fallacy of "don' t work for Trump" is that refusing to work for Trump will make him somehow just go away. But he's still responsible for running the executive branch for his full, elected term. It might have important responsibilities right now.

Look,
@RadioFreeTom & I won't see eye to eye on this, but my question is simple: would we be better off with more good, competent people pursuing jobs in this Administration? If the answer is yes, then scolding people to avoid those jobs is bad advice.Show this thread -
My longstanding view is that the country benefits from more good public servants no matter who is president. The executive branch's responsibilities go far beyond the president. They can't just be turned off for 4 years.

Was it good advice? I said then & still say it was not. This is a natural & foreseeable consequence. We all take responsibility for what if people did what we advocated.
