By sending cabinet nominees for confirmation who are largely unqualified either for reasons of lack of experience, poor character or a record of not supporting the rule of law, the Senate is being probed for weakness by a consummate manipulator. As he flooded the zone in the traditional and social media landscapes, now he is flooding the zone with a slate of unacceptable cabinet nominees, calculating that senators will feel they have to accept at least a couple of them. How to pick the least worst when they're all bad? Do not allow this president- elect to hollow out the Senate. In his own words, 'Fight Fight Fight.' Our democracy depends on it.
