Transition Team/Cabinet Thread

I honestly doubt Bolton gets confirmed by the senate

rudy makes only sense if someone else got promised the AG position.....

I'm really starting in to think it's gonna be Jeff sessions is gonna be AG

i think christie would be a "traditional" candidate without his baggage.

but in this case kushner is clearly a voice of reason.

though even without bridgegate it would be hard to see what another loud-mouthed northeasterner without ties to Hill republicans would bring to the ticket

Mattis will be SECDEF.

Yes!

85% chance Romney gets it, but I Could see Huntsman still as contender if he wants to Humiliate Romney. I don't see how Tillerson fits as SOS

[Pandaguineapig]

Now Giuliani has apparently withdrawn from taking ANY cabinet position.

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/12/09/politics/rudy-giuliani-removes-himself-from-consideration-for-trump-cabinet-post/index.html

Considering early on he was talking as if he was offered a job, this is just bizarre.

Probably Turned Down other jobs hoping to get SOS

And in the end it seems neither Gingrich, Giuliani or Christie ended up in the cabinet. I can see why, but I thought all three would end up being there despite all.

It should be pointed out that all three are past their prime and grabbed onto Trump as a last 1st itch effort at relevancy. Now that Trump is President he has the oppurtunity to pick better and more politically viable appointments. I still somewhat expect Trump to give the three tiny consolation prizes as ambassadors to smaller nations (Canada, Ireland, and Sweden are often given as favors to donors or allies)

If Trump picks anyone but Rex Tillerson tomorrow the "Russian hacking" meme will quickly be replaced as an excuse for why Clinton lost. Mark my words

[Pandaguineapig]

If Trump picks Tillerson Obama/the FBI needs to take drastic action to stop Trump from taking office.

Tillerson isn't getting past committee, that's why this would be such a head-scratching pick

Don't care.  This show's he is a Russian agent.  The sovereignty of the nation is at stake.  Clinton is ready to go.

Lol, people need to accept that she will never be president

I wonder who becomes plan b after tillerson goes down in flames?

Aldrich Ames is still alive!

So is Robert Hanssen lol

The Zinke nomination is a disappointment, the government has no real interest in continuing to hold so much western land

[Pandaguineapig]

I think Sasse, Flake, and Lee are also likely to vote against Tillerson. He needs several Democratic defections to get confirmed
