Americans asked to describe the Democrat in the White House and the Republican best positioned to face him in next year’s election say President Joe Biden is “old” and “confused” and say former President Donald Trump is “corrupt” and “dishonest.”

      The best and most accomplished Transportation secretary in U.S. History and you call him incompetent? Interesting take, can you name any former Transportation secretary that was even half as good as Pete?

        Uh…really? We’ve got planes running into each other while on the runways. I wouldn’t run around excited about his tenure in transportation.

            It’s kind of his job to put regulations in place to prevent that. Weird it became kind of an epidemic on his watch.

              In what world is the Minister taking care of low level things like that? That’s like blaming the commander in chief because a squad got deployed to the wrong camp.

      That’s way too harsh. Pete is an opportunist, and opts for politics over principle to a degree that made me dislike him in the last primary… but he’s not incompetent.

        Have you seen what he has done with the airlines and train disasters?

        Did you miss all the news going on with airlines/trains?

        He is incompetent and just like any other politician with no real values, just like all the democrats and republicans.

        They give in to the fame and the wealthy class.

          Sorry, what do you think a transportation secretary does? Do you think he’s an air traffic controller?
