Rick Perry for Education, ... Perry wants Education eliminated

Not very good PR to have someone with brain freeze in charge of education.

Not for long. His job would be to eliminate his job.

Jeanne Pirro for Attorney General. Not Chistie again. He’s an anti-Second Amendment RINO. Rudy Guiliani of the FBI. Dr. Ben Carson for Surgeon General.

Consolidate Interior, Energy, and the EPA into a new Department of Natural Resources and give the job to Palin.

<< Among the names receiving buzz: ... Ben Carson, a former GOP presidential candidate. Carson has received the most attention lately for HHS, even from Trump himself.

At a recent anti-Obamacare rally, Trump went out of his way to praise Carson by calling him a “brilliant” physician. “I hope that he will be very much involved in my administration in the coming years,” Trump said. >>

I wonder if when Dr. Carson spoke truth to power at the National Prayer Breakfast a few years, he ever imagined that God would have him in this place today. Truly a Daniel/Esther scenario.

Another possible education secretary under Trump is William Evers, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution who has worked on education matters for the Trump transition team. Evers worked at the Education Department during the Bush administration and served as a senior adviser to then-Education Secretary Margaret Spellings.

NO, Hell NO! NO Ex Bushie! If you want to get rid of the department the LAST person you want to run it is a damn Big Government insider!

“While Trump has called for eliminating the EPA, he has more recently modified that position, saying in September that he’ll “refocus the EPA on its core mission of ensuring clean air, and clean, safe drinking water for all Americans.”

Can’t be left intact. Has to destroy the EPA altogether as the slick Democrats will eventually lie their way back into the white house down the road a number of years, and there mustn’t be anything left of the EPA, not a single spark for them to fan back to flame so to speak.

The best part of this list is how few we’ve ever heard of.

No present senator should be chosen, or certainly not one up for re-election in 2018. A governor appointed replacement who has to earn an election win in just 2 years is too delicate, and the Senate is not safe.

I want the new Attorney General to finally get to the bottom of Obama’s IRS persecution of conservatives!!! There is a swamp of criminality behind that conspiracy, and lots of people need to good to prison. Drain the swamp!

Yup. I’ve been saying that for decades. Trump needs each department to sum it a two page document justifying its existence. For instance DHS was created based on a knew-jerk reaction by Bush after 911. It needs to go. Its responsibilities should be folded back under FBI/NSA.

Education, EPA and Energy should be eliminated. EPA stuff should be rolled under Inteior.

Secretary of state: Former House Speaker Gingrich, a leading Trump supporter, is a candidate for the job, as is Corker, current chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The Tennessee senator has said he’d “strongly consider” serving as secretary of state.

Today on Hannity Newt said he didn't want a cabinet job. He wanted to be the big picture legislative strategy guy, the one who figures out how to implement sweeping and transformational initiatives. Basically to be the guy who came up with and implemented the Contract with America. Trump, as a political outsider, could use a guy like Newt to keep the congress in line for him. Might be better (albeit less prestigious) place for Newt.

“...office of Inquisitor and Chief Executioner...”

LOL, that would be an awesome position.

I would like to nominate Michael Savage as White House Press Secretary, or US Ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Maybe restructure to get rid of several obsolete or unnecessary departments and possibly add something to focus on all things cyber and computer, staffed with young, fresh faces who know the workings inside and out and who could oversee IRS hanky-panky, and other such problems with emails, servers, etc.

Having trouble visualizing Newt as SecState. Bolton would be better.
