CNN: Trump Picks Noem for Homeland Security Secretary

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : With his selection of Noem, Trump is ensuring a loyalist will head an agency he prioritizes and that is key to his domestic agenda.
55% : Noem, who previously was a South Dakota representative, will now be tasked with overseeing a sprawling agency that oversees everything from US Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the US Secret Service.
55% : Perhaps, but Trump won't have to run for office again and he has plenty of political capital to spend at the moment.
47% : Trump wants to "drain the swamp" and still have enough talent and skill in the organization to fulfill its missions, at least as DHS is currently constituted.
44% : According to CNN, Trump has picked Noem to be the next Secretary of Homeland Security, home of the biggest domestic crisis Trump faces: Noem will be tapped to take over the agency as two key immigration hardliners -- Stephen Miller and Tom Homan -- are slated to serve in senior roles, signaling Trump is serious about his promise to crack down on his immigration pledges.
40% : Finally, the crises at Homeland Security played a large part in getting Trump elected, and those crises certainly what animated him and his campaign, not to mention the voters.
29% : As a matter of taste, as well as politics, one has to wonder whether Trump might have looked around more for someone less self-damaged politically who could fit those bills.
28% : The department saw an immense amount of turmoil the last time Trump was in office.
24% : Noem has the temperament to address those issues, but much of that depends on Trump and the Senate.
