If Hillary wins, which Republican will she have in cabinet and what post?

[Sir Mohamed]

United States Secretary of Bankrupcy Fraud Donald J. Trump.

Even better

[LastMcGovernite]

If he disavows Trump, sure, we might see Jon Huntsman.

I'd also suggest that Sheila Bair might be up for Treasury, and perhaps former Pennsylvania governor Mark Schweiker as Secretary of Commerce.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

She'll tap some corporate moderate for Commerce as a f-you to Bernie. Meg Whitman?

[Orser67]

Richard Hanna for Transportation, continuing the Bush and Obama tradition of appointing a member of the opposite party to head the Department of Transportation

[Coolface Sock #42069]

United States Secretary of Bankrupcy Donald J. Trump.

[Lincoln Republican]

Meg Whitman at Treasury.

But Treasury is a too important and powerful post to give to someone from the other party.

[Santander]

Meg Whitman at Treasury.

But Treasury is a too important and powerful post to give to someone from the other party.

Most of the Obama presidency has had a Republican SecDef.

Probably closer to 50/50.

[IceSpear]

Good God, that would be awful. None, I hope.

There's always a token person from the other party in the cabinet.

[KingSweden]

Neel Kashkari at Treasury? Moderate GOPer with Indian heritage.

This could work for several reasons. Identity politics, bipartisanship, and the fact that Kashkari's publicly stated views on large financial institutions is closer to the Berniecrat left than to the GOP and Wall Street consensus.

[Maxwell]

It's gotta be defense - if he weren't 91, I'd love Brent Snowcroft.

[Blair]

From what I've read Hillary is going for a very boring Cabinet Atlasia posts wise (no Senators/Governors getting major positions) She's likely going to promote up people who've had some role in the Obama administration.

Huntsman won't be SOS- has endorsed Trump, jumped from his 2011 Job as Amb

[Angel of Death]

How about the fact that Secretary of State is like the most important cabinet position and it not going to a Democrat would not even be close to being contemplated?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Meg Whitman at Treasury.

But Treasury is a too important and powerful post to give to someone from the other party.

Something like Secretary of Commerce is more plausible. Remember Obama wanted to nominate Judd Gregg for the post and Gregg initially accepted.

Most of the Obama presidency has had a Republican SecDef.

Interestingly, since 1997, there were only two Democratic Secretaries of Defense

William Cohen (1997-2001)
Donald Rumsfeld (2001-2006)
Robert Gates (2006-2011)
Leon Panetta (2011-2013)
Chuck Hagel (2013-2015)
Ashton Carter (2015-)

[Lincoln Republican]

Defense aside, of the "not big" postings, Interior, Commerce, or Transportation are probably the most likely to go to someone from the other party, if any.

Yeah LOL at Huntsman at State.  As Clinton just proved, SOS is an excellent resume builder and springboard to the presidency.  She's not gonna give it to a Republican who clearly has presidential ambitions.  Not only that but Huntsman quit his job as Ambassador to China, where he was doing a good job, to run for president against his current boss, so Democrats still hold him in contempt since it was a very "unsportsmanlike conduct" move, AND he endorsed Trump, which clearly shows that he doesn't actually give much of a sh**t about foreign policy.

F**k Huntsman.  He has the most boring show ever on Sirius XM 124 POTUS.  He talks up his stupid "No Labels" movement all day and invites on milquetoast junior staffers and low-level people in the RNC/DNC or retired politicians so they can pat each other on the back for being oh so bipartisan and volley vague platitudes about how "we need solutions" and "both sides have to come together" etc. etc. etc. god it's awful.

Also as everyone who's read Game Change 2012 knows, Huntsman is a little baby behind the scenes, he's egocentric and lazy and can't run a tight ship, he has serious daddy issues, and despite his claim of running a clean campaign he was actually behind a handful of the dirtiest, sleaziest leaks and attacks of the entire primary.

Plus Utah is literally the easiest state ever to govern.  It's like easy mode politics, 86% white, 58% mormon (a very high-productivity and low-crime demographic), very low crime and high in natural resources relative to the population, and something like 95% of the state lives in the small strip of the Wasatch Front.  It ain't hard to have a high approval rating or good job growth in Utah.

Secretary of Commerce: Meg Whitman

[Simfan34]

What did Jon Huntsman ever do to you, Lyin' Steve?

[Sir Mohamed]

What did Jon Huntsman ever do to you, Lyin' Steve?

Isn't Huntsman supporting Trump?

Distressingly, it looks like it.

[Averroës Nix]

Always? Since when?

It would more of a concession to atavistic, historically illiterate #NoLabels types than to actual Republicans, anyway, just like it was when Obama did it. There is literally no Cabinet-level position that Clinton could not find a better-qualified Democrat to fill. Clinton's Cabinet would benefit about as much from including a token Republican as LBJ's would have from including a token member from the John Birch Society.

Really?   Go Trump!
