Ignatius: ‘A Good Thing’ if Trump Is Listening to Bob Gates on Key Foreign Policy Spots

‘I covered Bob Gates. Bob Gates understands how this government works in national security better than anybody I ever met’

RUSH EXCERPT:
IGNATIUS: "It would make it a lot easier for Donald Trump to conduct the foreign policy that he wants if at this deputy’s level he’s got solid people who are well known. The fact that he’s listening to Bob Gates — I covered Bob Gates. Bob Gates understands how this government works in national security better than anybody I ever met. He came out of CIA to nsc. He was so solid at defense he was kept over. He served for George W. Bush and then Obama kept him on. This is somebody who really knows how it works. If he’s the guy that Donald Trump is listening to on these key appointments, you would have to say this is a good thing."
