"page six"

All of these bizarre rumors are people leaking misinformation. There is a gravy train here. I ought to get on board!

The world could have much worse than a Secretary of State Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney would be a breath of fresh air compared to what we've seen so far. I'd be stunned if he got State. If he does, it's probably only to get him out of the country.

Dude, I sincerely wish you the very best if you decide to pretend Trump is considering you for Junior Assistant Hatchet Man to RNC Chairman Roger Stone or something.

Trump himself is pumping Mattis for Secretary of Defense:

A shame he's not eligible and won't be until 2020.  A greater shame that Trump still doesn't get that since this is at least the second recent general whose name has been floated for a post he's barred from holding in recent days.

I wish Brown was picked as VP instead of Mike "I'm a Christian, Conservative, and Republican, in that order" Pence.

Scott Brown was my preferred pick for most of last year. But it became clear after the convention and even more so after the election results came in, that Pence was essential. Trump could not have delivered that message on the court or wooed Evangelicals so successfully (he did better than Bush 43 and Romney among them), without a trusted messenger as his VP.

Without Pence, I think Trump would have lost.

Maybe Gabbard will be ambassador to Russia. 

[Mr. Morden]

Ben Carson's open to joining the Cabinet after all:

He's eligible if the REPUBLICAN congress grants him a waiver and they probably would.

Welp, if Tulsi Gabbard joins the TRUMP cabinet we can finally put the meme of her running for the Democratic nomination to rest.

i am not sure why it would be an advantage for ANY not yet-retired democrat to work in this administration.

maybe old-timers who don't have any career plans anymore and want to help preventing the US from falling into pieces.

She does, which makes all the "progressives" jerking themselves into a frenzy over her running in 2020 all the more irritating

This is fcking bizarre. I used to have such a crush on Tulsi Gabbard because she was pro-Bernie and I got to see her speak at the rally Bernie held at my school, but now I'm just plain disgusted.

What happened to wanting Democrats in the Trump Cabinet as a bipartisan voice?

[exopolitician]

I'm okay with Gabbard as UN Ambassador.

[Vega]

Gabbard isn't going to be in a Trump cabinet, but her taking the meeting is a bit odd.

I'm almost waiting for a leak to say that Sanders is under consideration to be Secretary of Defense.
