'Not what they voted for': Trump Cabinet picks likened to a 'junk drawer'

Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha on Sunday morning explained why Donald Trump's cabinet picks so far are "not what the American people voted for."

Speaking with Rocha — who's the founder of the nonprofit consulting firm Solidarity Strategies — MSNBC's Alicia Melendez pointed out, "There are people who understandably have tuned out after this election."

She added, "A lot of this is flying under the radar for them. All of these appointments — they're a test for Senate Republicans. Which is why some might like to see this done by recess appointment. They don't have to be on record taking a vote. How do Democrats hold them responsible for the folks they are going to allow at the highest levels of government?"

Rocha replied, "I think it's the most important part of the conversation because the people we watched, they didn't vote for this kind of chaos. They may have voted for Donald Trump, but in every focus group, they voted for lower prices. It was never about the confusion. let's talk about this in totality. In my cabinet at the house, I got dishes in one thing, drinks in another, bourbon in a special cabinet. But there's order. Always a special cabinet for the bourbon."

The Democratic strategist emphasized, "This is more like my junk drawer. Because all the crazy, broken things are in there, and I think the American people will see that. And that's not what they voted for."
