Newt needs to be part of this administration. He would be great as chief of staff.
I doubt this!

No. Federal law prohibits family members from holding these positions. He can still be an unpaid advisor but not a paid staffer.
Just curious... wouldn’t hiring of the son-in-law run afoul of the federal anti-nepotism statute?
I’d be happy just being his secretary!
Trump is going to hire the individual based on qualifications, not because he's his son-in-law.
The Chief of Staff frequently has to be the president’s designated son of a bitch. Is Kushner temperamentally suited for a job like that?
I would give Kellyanne Conway just about any position she wanted. She was able to keep him disciplined and on message down the stretch. I think she would make a great Chief of Staff.
I'm thrilled to see Trump win, but I have always been uncomfortable about some of these family connections. Do a Google search on his father Charles Kushner to see what I mean.
Ben Carson would be a great choice for Health.
Think Palin might be too busy with her kids, especially Trig, but I’ve love to see her back doing something in the public eye.
Allen West for Defense?
I wouldn’t trust Chris Christie to fetch the donuts, much less any important job.
No next question.
IMPOSSIBLE; Trump is an anti-Semite. /S
Fox has just announced Chris Christie is no longer in charge of the transition team. Mike Pence has taken that roll.
Dems/media are heavily pushing the meme that Trump’s son in law is like Rasputin or something, that Trump basically does whatever he advises.
Pretty Laughable, very weird, and maybe kinda antisemitic.
At this point can we believe a SINGLE damn thing they say? If the Huff Post reported that the sky was blue.....I’d go get my eyes checked.
Not even the slightest veneer of objectivity any longer.
