Perhaps AIPAC has made the decision that with a relatively hostile President, a relatively still more hostile Sec of Defense can only decrease further the credibility of actions taken against Israel, and therefore leave Israel with a freer hand than a "nice guy" who will have the same actions, decided by the same Presidential staff, but more politely expressed.
