I like a lot of these names, but I wonder how people would feel about a RINO Senator as Secretary of State or a Treasurey Secretary from Goldman Sachs.

OTOH, this is speculation on Politico's part.

Yes. Use David Clarke.

Interesting that Don, Jr’s name is in there.

So that means Eric and Ivanka run the company?

"...the Trump campaign is seriously considering Forrest Lucas, the 74-year-old co-founder of oil products company Lucas Oil, as a top contender for Interior secretary.."

That reminds me that the head of the BLM (Dingy's minion, Kornze) needs to be on the first day removal list.

I'd recommend that he be replaced by a pardoned Ammon Bundy.

I saw on twitter earlier that Trump is considering Sarah Palin for interior secretary..I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for Sarah Palin to be in Trump’s cabinet..she has supported him from the beginning..through all the BS, through all the name calling that he received after she endorsed him..I hope she is part of a Trump Administration

“...have difficulty finding high-profile women to serve in his cabinet, according to a person familiar with the campaign’s internal discussions, given Trump’s past comments about women.”

Hmmmmmm. I really wouldn’t think it would be that hard to find high-profile women for his cabinet.

AG Rudy is truly Hilary’s worst nightmare.

I like it.

Stopped scanning this bs when I came to this paragraph:

Trump's divisive campaign may make it difficult for him to attract top talent, especially since so many politicians and wonks openly derided the president-elect over the past year. And Trump campaign officials have worried privately that they will have difficulty finding high-profile women to serve in his cabinet, according to a person familiar with the campaign’s internal discussions, given Trump’s past comments about women."

$crew anything put out by Politico. BS from Politico should be banned as lingering and festering Never Trump sour grapes.

Start David Clarke as the head of the US Marshals. No more taseing of Bundys’ lawyers in the courtroom.

I don’t like the idea of a Goldman-Sachs “veteran” like Steven Mnuchin for Treasury. Very bad idea... especially after the powerful Trump ad singling out GS-Boss Blankfein as a chief globalist villain.

Also no Bush-era tainted Neocons like Bolton, please.

I would love to see Rick Perry for Education, Commerce, or both. Perry wants Education eliminated, and so does Trump. Perry is the perfect man for the job.

I like it.

I love it. Hillary will will have to be heavily sedated nightly just to get in a few hours of sleep.

Me too, Sarah would be refreshing in any post, but she won’t take it, would be a cut in pay.

The Secretary of the Interior is an appointed post, isn’t it?
I hope this is the case, so that Sarah can begin her work for Trump smoothly, without being raked over the Democratic coals once again. She’s already suffered their bigotry enough.

Trump's divisive campaign may make it difficult for him to attract top talent...

I'd say the list to follow was pretty impressive, actually. This sentence should probably be snipped and place in the Stupid file.

Carson and Palin seem naturals for the positions they've been linked with in the text. The first job of either Christie or Giuliani, assuming it's one of them, will be to clear the DOJ of the ward-heelers and throne-kissers who have turned the administration of justice at the higher levels of government such a travesty. Comey goes. In fact, I'll deal with him personally should I be named to the office of Inquisitor and Chief Executioner as I've requested. It may cost a bundle to put a guillotine in the town square of every village in the country but we can do it. It's for the children. Although we'll have to use really little guillotines for the children...

OMG a huge NO on Bolton for SOS. He is one of the evil warmongering neocon’s left over from “W’s” Administration. He’s a war-hungry nut and not at all in line with Trump’s vision of getting along and stopping all the foreign adventures of the past 20 or so years.

Everyone else looks good. Like all the names.
