President-elect Donald Trump is shrugging off contradictions with his own Cabinet picks that have been on display during Senate hearings this week. The comment comes after members of Trump's future Cabinet separated themselves from the president-elect on a series of issues, including Russia, torture and Muslim immigration. Partly as a result the nominees have gotten mostly gentle treatment from Senate Democrats who say they've found the Cabinet choices more palatable than the future president himself. "As I meet members of the Cabinet I'm puzzled because many of them sound reasonable," said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. "I think it's likely that all of the Cabinet nominees are going to be confirmed, I think the hearings have gone quite well this week."
