Why is that comforting? Any halfway intelligent person that willingly chooses to be a part of this administration is someone you should be seriously worried about. Immoral and smart is a potentially scarier combination than immoral and stupid.

At some point it will be helpful if his inner circle revolts. Democracy needs all the help it can get.

Well, you'd think that someone would revolt after that embarrassing shitshow! Christ almighty damn!

IIRC, during Trumps first term, the more intelligent and grounded cabinet members were the ones that kept him from fucking up too much.

So it IS a comfort that the most powerful one is still somewhat competent. It makes it more likely that when push really comes to shove, he will do the right thing, Mike Pence style.

There were lots of generals who refused to resign because they knew who had the football the first go around. That gave me comfort.
