Trump Wild Cards: Lieberman Touted for State, Cruz for Supreme Court
NewsMax ^ | December 5, 2016 | Mark Swanson

At the risk of "offending" the millions of people who supported and fought for him, Donald Trump should drop Mitt Romney from consideration for Secretary of State, best-selling author and radio host Wayne Allyn Root wrote for Townhall.

He added, there are two darkhorse names the President-elect should consider for his administration: Joe Lieberman and Ted Cruz.

Root, an early supporter of Trump's, makes the case for Cruz for the Supreme Court vacancy, and offers up 5 reasons why Lieberman would be a solid choice for Secretary of State:

•Expand the GOP tent looking ahead to 2020.
•Expand the tent with Jewish voters....

Lieberman talks out of both sides of his mouth. He is a ready for the dust bin of history... There is NOT one thing he has to offer ‘we’ deplorables.

Cruz is a sneaky, slimy, back-stabbing LIAR. The crap he pulled on Ben Carson was disgusting. Furthermore, on several occasions, Cruz was on national tv LYING about Trump. Check out the YouTube videos of this venom-spitting snake.

Cruz should be ambassador to the Vatican, to really shake things up

Cruz does not have the gravitas for the USSC.

His actions during the primary could be termed “sophmoric.”

He’s not in the big leagues, yet.

These ‘pro’ Cruz threads just keep getting posted as IF Trump supporters suffer short term memory loss. Funny thing about ‘lyin’ Ted, is that while Trump did routinely call him out on his Bible thumping act and then Ted would launch into bearing false witness... It was Marco Polo who actually first publicly called Ted Cruz a liar...

Marco Polo got so under lying Ted's skin, Ted broke out in Spanish publicly.

Actually, it’s a pretty standard tradition to have one or more of the opposition party in your cabinet.

Lieberman would be much better than Mitt.
Cruz is good at making enemies...not a good pick for the Court.

I wouldn’t want Mitt Romney that high on the list; I don’t want him close to power.

LIAR LIEBERMAN REMEMBERED And remember when Clinton was up for removal for being impeached after he got lewinskied.

Liar Lieberman whined on and on about family values and such.

But when push came to shove, Liar Lieberman came to Clinton’s aid.... and voted not to expel him.

That is correct. All through the Bush administration, lord McCain and that twit Kristol ran a campaign to dump Rummy and install LIEberman in as Secretary of Defense... Lieberman is part of the swamp.

Lieberman I respect, politics aside. Cruz I no longer respect or trust.

Cruz is pro TPP and incapable of telling the truth.

No conservative in their right mind should vote for it.

Obama considers TPP his economic and foreign policy legacy....
plus a chance to get-rich-quick from deals /w/ TPP countries.

=============================================

TPP is best understood against the backdrop
of Obama's post-presidential get-rich-quick foundation plans.

NOW ISN'T THIS INTERESTING? few, if any, of the RCEP and
TPP countries contributed to the buck-raking Clinton Foundation.

Looks like the Clintons and Obama divvied up the globe so that each have their own countries in order to collect big buck get-rich-quick foundation donations, honorarium, cosultancies, and int'l insider business deals.

======================================

THE FACTS ARE THESE Obama's trade deal giveaway is a huge scam...best examined against the backdrop of Obama's two tax-exempt foundations (two-that we know of). Obama's priming the pump for donations to his two Foundations.

All of Obama's thinly-veiled actions....

(1) promoting TPA and TPP,

(2) his immigration suck-ups

(3) his non-action WRT ISIS, IRAN....

.....are best understood against the backdrop of Obama's future get-rich-quick plans as an ex-president----more specifically, his two get-rich-quick Foundations (two foundations that we know of).

All these entities control billions of dollars---and Obama is lying-in-wait for his share: foreign donations, lucrative insider trade deals from untapped resources, energy deals, telecom deals, arms sales, consultancies, million dollar honorarium...and so on and so forth.

===================================================

WIKI REFERENCE: Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) and the six states with which ASEAN has existing FTAs (Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand). RCEP negotiations were formally launched in November 2012 at the ASEAN Summit in Cambodia.

I look forward to the SCOTUS hearings. The dems will melt down. The template already exists.

“America can not afford the racist hate filled bigoted xenophobic islamaphobic views of (insert name here) that are not representative of the mainstream of America.”
