  Bipartisan does not equal people who agree with you, though that has somehow become the definition over the last couple of decades.

      Politics used to be about the art of the compromise. Now it's pure partisanship, and both sides blame the other for it. The old Russian arms control negotiating tactic: "What's mine is mine, what's yours is negotiable".
      
      Absent something automatically disqualifying, cabinet appointment should garner 90+ votes.
