As someone who lives in a state with assisted suicide, that man did tons to advance dignified end of life choices, which, while controversial, eased a lot of people's passings. Whoever Trump installs will be a self-indulgent hack with no experience and zero knowledge of his post.

no doubt. Unless he picks Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Or Chachi. I don't believe he's chosen him to anything yet.

Seems like Trump would favor a huckster who made his fortune schlepping designer potions and powders, mega vitamin packs, happy colon pills, and snake oil elixirs, or pay to play faith healers.

some aspects of the anti-smoking thing. I mean as a kid in the 70's, trying smoking and getting addicted, as far as I was concerned for years, I did exactly what a whole bunch of people with money and power wanted me to do. Our government was being pretty cute about playing both sides of the issue. In a way, I felt that I sis what I was supposed to do and the bastards were trying to force me to quit by making me poorer.

The only doctor he DID pick was for HHS and admitted he knew nothing about the job. Most of the others are -- no hyperbole -- dangerously unable to perform their functions.

So my guess? Chris Christie.
