Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        The running cynic's assumption in DC was that the massive rumor mill of names was strategic, so press would vet them...

        Sure but what good would it do? The oppo on DeVos was actually first rate. It wasn't going to derail her.

        Plus, we here in MI were talking actual substance. Not that she couldn't answer Qs a first year teaching assistant would know.

        True. But it will make it easy to discredit everything they touch. @cbudoffbrown @politico
