Pence is probably better off being quiet in retirement than that wicked Merrick Garland is going to be when justice catches up to him.
I actually think Hegseth is the sleeper hit here. Tulsi, RFK, and Gaetz all will generate more buzz and are more famous, but Hegseth is a very interesting pick. Hegseth was high enough of an officer to undertand leadership but he also wasn't far removed from the regular troops like the standard DOD pick of generals and such would be. To me this is a signal that Trump is going to reform the military but in a way that is more pragmatic than ideological, I speculate with emphasis placed on the regular troops.
