She sure seemed to be on the right of Obama during her tenure as Secretary of State. Yes, I know that isn't an unbiased source, but this isn't coming out of nowhere. She was buddies with Kissinger. Like I said, this is all stuff that people wanted to leave behind in 2016.

Secretary of State is a position where you are supposed to represent the agenda of the president. Knowing former secretaries of state and being able to get information from them is an important part of having that job... if you're a serious person, it is a serious fucking job.

It's so bizarre to me that people don't realize what it means to work in these cabinet positions. Or at least what it used to mean. This cabinet is not focused on competence at all, but rather on social media, self aggrandizement and gossiping about and undercutting each other.
