My take on Pete as Transportation Secretary is that it probably won't matter much one way or the other.

I'll say one other thing about Pete, which is sure to bring me grief: the left's cool kids are way, way too eager to shit all over the hyper-conscientious, ambitious, striving, Tracy Flick-type personality that Pete so perfectly exemplifies.

Yeah, Pete's a classic A student with his hand always up. But that means, if you give him homework -- like "make the Dept. of Transportation work better" -- & tell him it's the route to advancement, he'll definitely do it! He'll think hard & work hard on it. Could be worse.

This thread is helpful if you want to judge Pete by his history on transportation issues rather than by the elaborate identarian superstructure that the left has placed on his shoulders. https://twitter.com/JosephRMolnar/status/1338279197937111041
