Staff are unfilled with an acting head. im curious, from your perspective, how does this bigger staffing problem make governing for this administration? >> it makes it tremendously difficult. you often hear president talk about it. its a two or three stage problem. the administration never really got off to a good start. you may remember that they got rid of the personnel operation that chris christie had put together at the start of the administration and never really recovered. after 700 odd p...
