  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I mean, sure it likely won't be around for long.

But yeah.

Spouse of Vince McMahon.
At one point in her distant past she was so destitute she relied on foodstamps. So I want to believe she'll see thr value of supporting food programs at schools.

Any care to take a stab at....why her?

She has experience in leading a large organisation and held a role in Trumps first government (Small Business Administration) which alone makes her one of the most qualified picks so far. That she managed to fulfill her role in that government without any scandals or major screw-ups is also a plus.

Speculation I've seen is that she was seen as "deserving" a Cabinet role and COmmerce wasn't available. I am a bit concerned about her extremely limited educational experience, but at least she has shown significant administrative skills both in her private life and previous government service.

As far as Trump nominees goes, McMahon is as unproblematic as it gets.

She's an odd choice for that particular department, but she definitely has the professional experience to run it, not just the right politics.

Over here in germany, many politicians run departments without any experience in it. They often are shuffled around departments seemingly at random. Maybe that's why I don't think personal experience isn't as important.

I mean she has the political qualifications obviously, but she also does have the work experience to do well at the administrative aspect of the job at least, especially the student loan part since that's most of what SBA does.

As a wrestling fan, I find it interesting in that regard. I don't know enough about her to judge her for the position, however.

I looked into her last admin, While Vince was the face and main creative force of WWE, she apparently was the brains behind the business side, and was very good at it.

Linda and Vince have been living separate lives for many many years. At this point they are basically married in name only.

That being said, Vince is awash in scandals, lawsuits and investigations at the moment and that may hurt her since they are still technically married.

But, I have heard it said that she is the "good person" of the family.

But yeah, she headed up small business in his 1st cabinet, ran the PAC, then she was big part of his transition team / campaign. Just my 2cents. She's been loyal to Trump and this is her reward is what I think. I have no idea how well or poorly she will do in this role.

She has experience.

For a year- that's not a whole lot. She's better than some of Trump's other picks, but that's a really low bar.

I dunno.
