John Avlon: Trump Is Restocking the Swamp

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: "Is this draining the swamp, even though it's his alligators?"
AVLON: "He's restocking the swamp. I mean, you know, this -- you know --"
CUOMO: "If you shoot your own alligator, are you draining the swamp?" 
AVLON: "This is an existential question. It's the Zen koan of the morning. Look, you know, he keeps restocking the swamp. Wall Street has got more folks or the same number of folks in ambassadorships and other appointees. But you raised another important point. Look, we all know tone come from the top, if there's chaos in the administration or if there's chaos in the executive. But the number of unfilled positions that are critical. We don't have an ambassador to South Korea, and yet, we're dealing with North Korea as a serious, serious issue for the world. We still don't have Jon Huntsman confirmed as Russia ambassador. I mean, there are -- and undersecretaries of state could go on and on. This is not a fully staffed administration. So he may be focused on who to fire next, but he should fill the administration."
