Just what we need: more de-politicization! "Yeah, that's the ticket." How about rolling up our sleeves & WINNING the political discourse & fight. The right will never stop & for non-conservatives to disengage in favor of super-empowering a "professional political class" is folly.

In his first answer Michael said he favored reducing the number of executive branch political appointees from 4,000 to 200, and reclassifying the rest as senior civil service jobs. This would create continuity he said from admin to admin. Bad idea! Makes “working change” harder.
