This OpEd, written by conservative commentator Jennifer Rubin, provides some good points, and some points that many of us on RallyPoint may disagree with.

In particular, I endorse this conclusion:
"The government depends on experienced, knowledgeable and sober-minded public servants. "

In my opinion, it is the professionals appointed by President Donald Trump who are holding the Administration and our government together, professionals like John Kelly, and James Mattis; and others who will ultimately determine the success of this Administration.

Others, while learning on the job, are supported by career professionals serving as their Chiefs of Staff, and in many cases because of unfilled political appointments, senior civil servants.

One message that I tend to agree with (with some exceptions): "Business is business, and government is government."

I agree, Secretary Tillerson is no Henry Stimson, George Marshall, or Henry Kissinger.

At least, not yet.
