If you could go back in time, would you still vote for all 10? If you're going to have a leader succeed, they've got to have people that stand up to them. Not one of Donald Trump's nominees has ever stood back to him and said, don't do this or don't do that. Right? They kowtow. They are to a person, a yes man, a yes woman. Whatever he wants, he does. I wouldn't vote for a single one if I had to do over again. (11:42–11:48)
