I don't understand why this guy was nominated. No notable relevant history/experience, limited relevant knowledge based on what we've seen... What does he bring to the position for which he is nominated?
Petersen was nominated to the Federal Election Commission by President George W. Bush on June 12, 2008, and unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate on June 24, 2008. He served as Chairman for 2010 and 2016.
From 2005 until his appointment to the FEC, Petersen served as Republican chief counsel to the United States Senate Committee on Rules and Administration. Prior, Petersen served as counsel to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on House Administration
Weird. On one hand, while Trump doesn't seem too concerned with the qualifications of those he appoints, I also didn't peg him as someone who would be concerned with this kind of in-party promotion. On the other hand, while the party at large obviously concerns itself with this kind of in-party promotion, they've typically been concerned about whether or not they at least give the appearance of gross incompetence.
Being a leader is just about stroking your ego, shilling for coin, and having some lame ass legacy. Americans are too stupid to event to vote for a president that is monotone and intelligent.
The guy withdrew. Heh, this makes Trump look more like the incompetent fool he really is.
Good for him, it was the right thing to do. Surprising, too.
I almost felt sorry for him, that was like watching a cat play with a rodent.

Why does a judge need prior experience in the courtroom? Seems like an odd requirement.
Right? It's like...c'mon guys. JEeeeeez.

Yeah, at this point....just let the flood of terrible consume us
This administration is constantly proving that truth is stranger than fiction. I'd have believed such incompetence would never willingly occur publicly, but jesus h christ here it is.
