Are You Smarter Than a Cabinet Nominee? Round 1
-
Here are the rules:
I’’ll post some of the questions that have been asked of the various candidates awaiting confirmation. You give your response. At the end, we’ll post the actual answer and vote on which answers were better and which were worse than the actual answer. If you win the vote, you move on to next round.
1st Question: “Would you have enough independence to tell Trump that he lost in 2020?”
What’s your answer?
Mine: “Senator, I would have the independence to tell hi that he won in 2024, which is what is relevant to this nomination and conversation.
-
Mine: Senator, if that specific question came to me from him, then yes, I would indicate that he did lose in 2020. But, that question is really not important for the job that I am being hired for. I am being hired to lead the XXXXX

Senator, thank you for the question.
If confirmed, my role would be to serve the American people with integrity, uphold the rule of law, and ensure that facts and evidence guide my actions. Independence and accountability are essential qualities for any public servant.
To directly address your question: I believe it is critical to acknowledge the results of free and fair elections as determined by the appropriate authorities, including state election officials and the courts. If faced with any situation where misinformation or denial of established facts arose, I would not hesitate to speak truthfully and uphold democratic principles, regardless of political pressure or external influences. My commitment is to the Constitution, not to any individual or party.

I’d tell the truth.
‘Of course not. and don’t even bother asking any other nominees. If we were such people we wouldn’t be here because he’s selecting for fealty, not strength or independence’.
When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

I get your answer, and I would like to say that it works, except Schiff is sitting there with a whole laundry list of got has depending on your answer. It’s one of those choose your own path kid novels. The best solution is to simply not engage.
