Jake Sherman: Tom Price Pick ‘Incredibly Savvy for Donald Trump’

‘He’s a physician so that will make a lot of House Republicans happy because he has real-world experience’

SHERMAN: "It’s actually incredibly savvy for Donald Trump. It buys Trump good will with Conservatives in the House who he's inevitably going to upset with his plans to spend a lot of money on infrastructure and do a lot of other things that conservative Republicans might not like. Tom Price is a — as we say in 'The Playbook' this morning, a favorite of Tea Partiers and the conservative intelligence on health care. He’s a physician so that is going to make a lot of House Republicans happy because he has real-world experience, and it's going to give House Republicans an ally and it's going to give them buy-in into the most contentious part of the administration which is going to be health care overall."
