When it comes to any hand-picked leadership by other members of leadership...It should always, ALWAYS be merit based. When people get elevated to rankings because of political favors, you can be sure integrity and quality will be degraded.
Novel idea:
Hire a HR firm to recruit people for key positions in the white house. Scrub all political affiliations from the list, and hire entirely based on portfolio and merit. You know, kinda like how the Big 10 is recruiting 3-5 new teams for the conference.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
