Donald Trump’s nominations have turned out to be a pleasant surprise for some of his biggest conservative critics. That was Joe Scarborough’s take on today’s Morning Joe. From James Mattis at Defense, to John Kelly at DHS, and now to EPA foe Scott Pruitt . . . at EPA, the President-elect has proposed people with strong records and in a number of cases, strong conservative philosophies.
So much so that Scarborough remarked: “How fascinating that the Never Trumpers and the Wall Street Journal editorial page and the Bill Kristols, and all the people who were rightly the most skeptical of Donald Trump during the primary, have to sit back going, wow, I would not have gotten this with Jeb or Marco.”

Me too!
The base sniffed this out very early in the primary process and that is precisely why these guys were soundly rejected. That Scarborough and others have just now pieced this together this out speaks volumes.
Agreed. Ben Carson is extremely popular and she just lost a lot of Democrats by her criticism of him. She should realize that any operation is done with TEAMWORK and a great deal of study and organization before the act. Brain surgery is in a class of its own. Ben knows how to organize and how to take the lead. He will choose a good team, I am sure.
Wow, would’ve gotten Hillary’s nominees with Jeb or Marco or any of the other no leadership skills GOP dolts that think they are going to be the leader somehow.
I have been very pleasantly surprised with Trump’s cabinet picks. I ignore the rumors and gossip about how he’s going to betray his campaign promises. That’s all it is — rumors and gossip. So far, so good. I am very happy with how the election turned out.
Mika resembles the `Beast of Belsen’ in that photo, Irma Grese.
I’d gnaw my arm off before waking that face up.
Marco or Jeb would have scraped by if they won at all given the map. With no mandate or coattails, Schumer would be making the picks for Marco or Jeb given the senate would have been lost.
Tell all of the NeverTrumpers to shut the hell up and go straight to Hell!
Yup. They all clutched their pearls when Trump met Algore. “He’s selling us out!” they all exclaimed. Even folks here were repeating this!
Then he picks Pruitt for EPA!!! LOL!
Sell out?
Just no.
LOL!
I was gonna say Carl ROVE and then MARK Levin.
Looks like I created a hybrid monster!
He said rightly, but he really meant...
BIGLY:)
I have been saying this for the last couple weeks. Even Reagan did not have as many conservative pro capitalists in his administration.
Mark my words, the coming economic boom is going to make our heads spin.
What I see is an economic revival that will make Reagan’s boom seem like a recession in comparison.
I never had any use for Bill Kristol and Michael Medved and Glenn Beck were always sort of "meh" for me. As a kid I liked George Will and he was a big influence on my emerging politics at the time so I'm sad to see him become so stupid.
But it turns out that Mark Levin is the one I am most disappointed in. I really enjoyed his show, if I was in the car when it was playing, it was on. If I was going on a long walk I often downloaded prior days podcast and heard it that way. For the past 9 months or so, he became very shrill about Trump, more so that he was about Hillary or Obama. It seemed petty and personal and his "endorsement" a couple of weeks before the election was tepid, halfhearted, and too little/too late. He's banned from my airwaves now. Too bad, I might have considered buying into that new streaming thing with Mark Steyn, Steven Crowder and Michelle Malkin but not if it comes via Mark Levin.
So those two are a couple ? Wonder which one plays the male ? Perhaps they swap those roles ?
