michael. michael, to you first. is this a main treme conservative cabinet? >> yeah, you have a hard time finding the appointmentes that wouldn't have been made by another republican president. those are the exceptions and those will be the sticking point. if the reporting that rex tillerson is the selection for secretary of state is, you have three septemberors, john mccain and lindsay graham and marco rubio who has concerns. i imagine there will be more. those exceptions i think are are going to be problematic for donald trump but gained a lot of good will on national security issues by getting jim mattis for dance and the cia director and john kelly for homeland security. exceptions will stick out like a sore thumb. graham and rubio and kaine. those are all three republicans. is this not a senate that is going to be rubber stamping donald trump's pick? >> three leading republicans raising questions about perhaps the most high profile person in the cabinet secretary of state, is a sign they will do due diligence and raise questions in particular about russia. they are in a divide in many ways between the mainstream republicans such as john mccain and president-elect trump about p how close of a relationship the united states should have with russia and the secretary of state pick is a manifestation of that with rex tillerson. >> someone like scott pruitt to be head of the environmental protection agency, michael, that is a pick that delighted republican and democrats are going crazy. >> one thing to do to unite republicans, make the democrats go crazy. but again scott pruitt is not far out of the republican mainstream despite what the democrats say. and the editorial times say about it. betsy devosas well. and so it is it a predictable republican cabinet. but that important position of secretary of state, rex tillerson, that will be a sticking point with some republican and there is a possibility that republicans will reject a nominee and you need a simple majority to do that. and i think donald trump will have to think carefully about the high profile appointmentes if not to it face a no vote. >> democrats have to think carefully about whom they will oppose and they can't say no to every person that donald trump wants to put in the cabinet. >> i am sure they are choosing their battles which ones are worth it and not. nancy pelosi said they will work with president-elect trump where they can
