That should have been obvious to you before the 2012 election. But okay.

I believe Obama's pick for VP was an obvious enough contradiction of his platform. Retaining Gates & Geitner solidified, IMO, "change" was not in the cards. Trump is an anomoly to the vetted & selected candidates we usually get to "elect", for better or worse. His cabinet picks hint at the latter, time(not the MSM) will tell.
