Your 2024 Presidential Election Thread

"CEO experience" as a barometer or requirement got us to where we are now. Is Hegseth the right guy? Dunno. Were an overwhelming number of his predecessors the right guys? Absolutely not.

So maybe Hegseth is a good SECDEF, maybe bad, maybe mediocre, but he's different. We don't have the best track record with SECDEFs, so I'll take "different" and give him a chance to succeed or fail.

Damn it, the current model is broken and people want more of the same? Yeah, nah.

Hegseth is missing a great opening: point out those past SECDEFs and how they failed in spite of leading large organizations or having been GOs or CEOs.

The most important decision a CEO makes is who he surrounds himself with.

Just off a zoom at work but wanted to say, he composed himself far better than I would have given the ambushes and assaults he took. Some of those senators were pure assholes.
