Professor Watson: Kudos on another excellent political analysis. I agree with all of your astute arguments.

Some think Trump’s picks for these critical Cabinet jobs may result in the nominees carrying out questionable orders if approved, even if that means violating the Constitution. Thus, I would reiterate the following points:

* Those who are brave enough to openly oppose Trump on anything can end up risking everything, from a political and personal standpoint.

* No Republican politician wants to be on the receiving end of the president-elect’s wrath. *

* Retaliation by Trump often equates with public shaming and humiliation, for starters, and increases from there on out.
