Two more names being floated for Secretary of State. The current and former presidents of ExxonMobile. Scary if true, ain't it?

Yes, but not really much more scary than previous things.  Trump is planning on appointing some scary people.  Tis true.  On the other hand these people are the ones who have always been running the game behind smoke and mirrors.  My point is, is it really any different to appoint people who are bought and payed off by special interest to create an illusion, or to just appoint the punters and promoters of those special interest directly and upfront?  We usually get corporate puppets, Trump just seems to be skipping that and appointing the puppet masters directly.   I fail to see any tangible difference really.
