Had anyone heard on Anthony Blinken before November 2020? Blinken was basically a nobody whose only previous qualification was working closely with Biden for many years.  What about Garland? He was a federal judge known for letting executive agencies do whatever the hell they wanted.  He had never run any kind of department before. 
We should be judging Trump's choices based on whether they as individuals are qualified and how we think they will use their power, not based on the loyalty they've shown to the Big Guy.
