A Trump Cabinet Dream Team
Washington Times ^ | Nov. 11, 2016 | Kelly Riddell

Posted on 11/12/2016 5:26:33 AM PST by GonzoII

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

I’ll just say this for starters: I have no idea who President-elect Donald Trump will chose for his Cabinet. Many names have been bantered around by the press, some may come to fruition, others not. Regardless, here are my two cents on what I believe would be an unstoppable Trump administration:

Department of Homeland Security: Texas Rep. Mike McCaul

Mr. McCaul, who is head of the House Homeland Security Committee, has been an avid Trump supporter and has the experience to take on the agency he’s been overseeing. In his speech at the Republican National Convention this summer, Mr. McCaul said Mr. Trump’s presidency would “shake the ground” terrorists walk on and has criticized President Barack Obama’s policy on the Islamic State as being tone-deaf. He has a strong position on Russia, telling Mr. Trump they are “no friends of ours,” and has been at the forefront in calling for increased cybersecurity measures.

Defense: Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions

Mr. Sessions — who has supported Mr. Trump from the beginning — served as a captain in the U.S. Army Reserve for 13 years and currently sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Being a veteran on Capitol Hill, he can navigate the political waters of the Pentagon better than, say, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, whose name is also being floated.

Attorney General: South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy

Maybe not so improbable when you consider that we now have a Raving Lunatic, Social Justice Warrior, Buffoon now serving in the position.

Have him nominate Democrat senators from states with Republican governors for worthless posts . When they turn him down he can then claim he tried to reach out to the RATS but was rejected. Then give them hell!

You make a good point. Trump should head fake on this. Wait until one of the Commies on the Court leaves (one way or the other), then declare that no further additions to the Court are needed. Then conservatives are back to the majority. Of course, if he can get two young conservative justices, that would be even better.

Yes KellyAnne .as Press Secretary or Chief of Staff..but look too at Brunell Donald-Kyei for press secretary. I have heard her on Fox many times and she is quite impressive. She would be first Black female Press Secretary,

Trump will pick solid folks and also keep in mind the ramifications of a potential lost Senate/House seat - the antici.............pation is sweet.

Allen West needs to be on the team. We need people who have been in combat.

Sessions should be sitting in an office in the White House doing and attacking whatever problems arise. Don't stick him with one single job.

The most important and talented people ought to be free of day to day administration of some bureaucracy

I’d pick either General James Mattis or John Kelly for Secretary of Defense

Illegal. A military officer cannot be named Secretary of Defense until more than 7 years has passed since they left active duty.

Kellyanne Conway’s achievements in the past four months rate a higher position than Press Secretary.
