      @@hassankhan Not really too controversial. Elaine Chao was also Labor Secretary in the Bush Jr. Administration when Mitch McConnell was still a powerful voice in the Senate, albeit not majority leader.

    I also admire her families' efforts to come to America to achieve their America's own dreams. This is why I believe peoples' own America's dreams will only possibly be achieved in America through their efforts under America's equality of the opportunities instead of the equality of the property of Communism ideologies systems countries. This is why America is unique and great by America's own constitutions to maintain, protect and defend America's own greatness of Capitalism systems of liberty and entrepreneurships. This is also why I believe peoples come by act of love for America's own constitutions to maintain, protect and defend America's own foundations and kindness nature under America's own principals, but they need to come here legally instead illegally by respect America's own rules of laws for America's own security and safety and prosperity and unity. I pray for Gov.Bush will be able to help and work with elected President Trump to make America great by America's own patriotism and loyalty, foundation and constitutions by his great proven successful governing leadership experiences which created massive jobs for Floridians to enjoy and even left over 9 billions dollars of surplus for his successor's raining days.

    Illustrious career in the non-profit and government sectors with the CEO role of the Peace Corps and the United Way; and Secretary of Labor under President Bush (high cabinet level role, not necessarily in support of labor).
