the reason this is important is that Trump has sold his re-election as proof that he is a god-king above all consequence who can do anything he wants
already losing two nominations proves that is not true, and the sooner we can puncture that narrative and brand him a hubristic failure the better

Normally, a president-elect having one major nominee withdraw before confirmation hearings even begin and several more seemingly about to follow suit would be a pretty big deal.
We’d get headlines about a troubled transition, how the incoming administration was not ready for prime time, etc.

He has made a lot of ugly promises. These moves demonstrate weaknesses that can be exploited.
he sold himself as “I alone can fix it” and he can’t staff his own administration without kicking himself in the nuts
and the one thing Trump knows how to do is fill up a room with yes-men who are unqualified to ID a rake let alone step around it
