Trump said that he would pick South Carolina representative and chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi Trey Gowdy as his attorney general. Guess who Gowdy will prosecute? Popcorn and champagne time.
When did he say that ? And who would fill Trey’s sopt in Congress ? We need to be careful about cannibalizing House and Senate seats.
In fact, Trump would be wise/Machiavellian to offer places to Dims from Congress that are from Red states where the Red guv can fill the vacancy created. It would pad the current majorities and give GOP replacements the incumbent advantage in 2018 and 2020. They just need to be areas with narrow responsibilities and where Trump can fire them if they don’t toe his line. In the meantime Trump can claim a “bipartisan” and “coalition” government. If/when they are fired there would be no Congressional seat for them to return to.
