Fresh faces, I love it.
Thank God Christie and his “confidantes” got pushed aside!!!
Looking good!
You can bet Trump has Christie doing something very specialized. Chris is NOT out.
Did President Trump cut and paste this from Free Republic wish lists?
Read it again. Christie is NOT out.....Not in the least.
Do you know that Christie put Jared’s father in federal prison? You think he forgot that?
Really?

Totally agree.
How long before someone posts an article about how racist Trump is, because there aren’t enough dark skinned folks on this list?
No Kasich, McCain or Linda?
When is a realistic date for official announcements to be made in place of the leaks and guesses going around now?
Will all positions be announced at one time, or does it come out in dribs and drabs??
Geesh...I said they got pushed ASIDE....not out!!! Christies “confidantes are back in the PRIVATE SECTOR!!!
All the sad a## GOP reach across the aisle might as well stand across the aisle with them
The only weasel on the list is Devon Nunes.
Over all it looks good
I hope trump doesn’t announce until he has to. Once a name is out there the Borking begins
