Dr. Ben Carson to HUD: Distinctly Catholic: Yesterday,
MGB: Everyone knows that this is the "black" appointment. It is an exercise in Republican tokenism (he should instead be the Surgeon General). Will he do OK in this position? I suspect that he will be given GOP housing policy wonks and White House direction to prop him up. Cabinet secretaries are essentially the public voice of the administration in the department. His deputy secretary will run things. The question is how badly Trump wants to ruin this department. Carson is not the person to prevent that.
