Their sole obvious qualification seems to be large contributions, which is uncomfortable. (proof please)
You want proof that it makes me feel uncomfortable? Don't be silly.
No, I actually want proof it was contributions,nice try on spinning in uncomfortable,but if you insist.
Tillerson is a longtime volunteer with the
Boy Scouts of America, and from 2010 to 2012 was
their national president, its highest non-executive position. He is a longtime contributor to Republican campaigns,
although he did not donate to Donald Trump's presidential campaign. In 2014, Tillerson, who had made business deals on behalf of Exxon with Russian President
Vladimir Putin, opposed the
sanctions against Russia.
[6] He has previously been the director of the joint US-Russian oil company
Exxon Neftegas.

Yep, his contributions were huge!
During the
Republican Party presidential primaries for the 2016 election,
DeVos initially donated to Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina before eventually supporting Marco Rubio. In March 2016, DeVos described Donald Trump as an "interloper" and said that he "does not represent the Republican Party".

Yep, sounds like she backed him and contributed to his campaign.
Before joining the presidential campaign of
Donald Trump in 2016, Mnuchin had been involved in politics only by donating money to campaigns.
[36] Between the years 1995 and 2014, he donated over $120,000 to political organizations, PACs, politicians, and political parties according to the Center for Responsive Politics. From his donations to individual politicians, 11 donations went to
Republicans, while he contributed to
Democrats 36 times. The election campaigns of
Al Gore,
Hillary Clinton,
John Kerry,
Barack Obama, and
Mitt Romney were among those to which he donated money.
[37] Mnuchin said most of those donations were favors for friends.
[21]
During June to September 2016, Mnuchin made several contributions to the Republican Party, Donald Trump, and
Paul Ryan. He donated over $400,000 to the Republican Party,
over $5,000 to each of Paul Ryan's and Donald Trump's campaigns. Earlier in 2016, Mnuchin had donated $4,000 to Democrats
Kamala Harris and
Michael Wildes according to the
Center for Responsive Politics.

A whole $5000,whew.I guess he was playing both sides.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilbur_Ross
Ross, like some of Trump's other key advisors, put money behind Trump's election effort. He gave $200,000 to Trump's joint fundraising committee with the Republican Party and donated the maximum $2,700 donation to Trump's campaign, according to the Federal Election Commission.
This guy isn't qualified and used to be a Democrat,look at all that money he donated.
You continue to assume that being anti-Trump means that someone is pro-Clinton, or pro-Obama, or anti-Republican or pro-Democrat. Ignoring the obvious that one can be both anti-Trump, anti-Clinton, and anti-Obama all at the same time. It's not a zero sum game where if you dislike one you must like the other.
No I'm not assuming your anti Trump,it's terribly obvious you are!
Ignoring the obvious one can be
both anti-Trump, anti-Clinton, and anti-Obama all at the same time.
Uhm bad choice of word,no you can't,you only get to use 2,which 2 are you anti!
Whom do you support? Bernie,well he lost the Democratic Nomination,Communists,not a chance in hell,the Green Party or whatever the hell their called, or another person/party that didn't get Democratically elected in the biggest Democracy in the world?
How is it rigged,would you like to explain that in terms we can all understand?
So is it qualifications,or donations, or both,you were talking about?
I'm not making assumptions,give an honest answer,point to some facts and away we go.
Every Politician is a crook and a liar,I get that. They are all over the world. We have Trudeau up in Canada.
I'd be more worried about these 10 countries than Trump.
Wonder why some of them are on the list?
This is how rigged looks my friend.
You can look at the map too.
