A Walker spokesman says that Walker "has absolutely no interest" in joining Trump's Cabinet, though I guess that's not quite a Sherman-esque denial:

I think Scott Walker would be the perfect labor secretary, but I don't want him to leave his current job, which I think he can hold down in 2018 and then become Mike Pence's running mate (if Trump doesn't want another term) in 2020.

Kirsanow sounds like the least offensive of those four.
