Trump’s Transition Team Considers Sarah Palin For Possible Cabinet Spot
Daily Caller ^ | November 10, 2016 | Chris White

President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is seriously discussing the possibility of giving former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin a cabinet position, Politico reported Wednesday.

The Trump campaign is floating the idea of tapping the former Alaskan governor as Trump’s interior secretary. Palin has made no secret about her interest in holding a position in a Trump administration.

If you saw the interview she did with Jake Tapper early last year when she met with Trump before he announced, Jake asked her about what she would like to do. She immediately said Energy but also quantified that in would be the shortest post in history because she would close it down almost immediately.

My take even then was to Take Interior and in such start to migrate virtually everything into it and then cull the forest of dead wood. That would include Energy, EPA, Transportation, TSA, DHS and so forth. Security goes back to the CIA and FBI where it belongs.

Is this true? I never heard this before. I can't imagine that Sarah Palin would trade her life for the swamp that is DC. If she did, I have no doubt she would bring a wrecking ball.

Sarah P. deserves it. She’s endured the most vitriol and she has never flinched.

Yes and she endured being called names far worse than 'P@@@#'.

Plus, McCain and his staff hung her out to dry and twist in the wind. Shameful!!!!!

Methinks thou dost protest too much. Sarah Palin has more common sense in her little finger than the whole of all the poisoners, ie “media”, has in its filthy, vicious body.

Secretary of the Interior — I’ll go for that. She kicked ass in Alaska as Chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. As Governor, too, she dealt with these kinds of issues all the time.

Besides, I want to see another lib meltdown when she gets a high position in D.C. By that time the snowflakes will have calmed down a bit over the election, and I want to see more crying and screaming. It’s SO much FUN!

Nope - not long at all. Some things are just too easy to predict.

“Listening to her speak tells me no.”

That’s exactly what people said about Trump. It’s shallow and doesn’t consider someone’s skills and talents. Besides, the Secretary of the Interior doesn’t get a lot of face time in the media. Is someone going to tie you down and force you to listen to her if she’s speaking once or twice a year?

“Trump needs serious minded people there with no hidden or overt agenda’s other then carrying out his agenda.”

Why is she not “serious minded”? What hidden or overt agendas would she have? (BTW, there is no apostrophe in “agenda’s” when it’s a plural. You must think it’s a possessive here; it isn’t.)

Hell yes. She has been put through the ringer and deserves it. Besides, she would kick @ss and take names.

Bad idea...love her, but she is far too damaged by the libtards...

She would be a distraction...

Though the though of libtards heads exploding...is a delicious idea...

...cabinet members who will be respected by everybody...”

That person does not exist if they are selected by Trump. Sarah did an incredible job organizing and cutting the fat in Alaska and has an awesome background related to energy. Great candidate for Cabinet post in this area IMO.
