The actual link is somewhat disturbing, but nothing truly horrifying. Politics is filled with degenerates, and they're often the most effective operatives. (Carville, Atwater, etc.) I still think if Old Orangehead gets the prize, he's going to acquire a cabinet of serious, skilled people. He's going to need it, and I think a number of skilled people who care about the future of the country would volunteer, the thinking being, "My God. If he doesn't have the best in there advising him, this country's going to have some serious fucking problems."
(Of course, the possibility of Carl Icahn as Secretary of the Treasury isn't exactly encouraging... But then, Kasich may get it instead. And either would be better than Larry Summers, who truly, seriously needs to Go The Fuck Away [Bezos should be slapped crisply across the lips for giving that bloviating academic gasbag a weekly column*].)

* Summers might be the most dangerous idiot to have held sway over policy in the last thirty years. He might even be more dangerous than Trump, who has actually run a business (even badly), has been moderate on regulation, and has not advocated idiotic policies like banning $100 bills.
