Any appointment that upsets liberals is okay with me.

Thought Sarah would be in charge of energy, and have someone who served in charge of the VA

Her son served recently, and he has experience with the present system as a client.

“.....she has no military background. Maybe that is what we need.”...

As a veteran who actually uses the services of the VA, I see her role as the overall “administer”, she certainly wouldn’t be some general ordering tanks or planes. The VA is more a medical and social needs provider than a department needing military and combat overseeing. Her energy would be directed at improving the “ills” of the poor management during odumbo’s time. Odumo hates our military anyway and what a great opportunity for all veterans if she were directing the show.

She’d be great in anything... but sort of under-used in Veterans Affairs

There are worms with military backgrounds...

Sarah Palin has respect and love for the military. And members of the military returns it. She is aggressive in cleaning up.

Her Alaskan Guard is a very impressive organization and they think the world of Palin.

That would be AWESOME! IF she gets this spot and visits any of our Wisconsin VA Hospitals (I use the one in Madistan), I will try my hardest to meet her. I’d love that!

Where is the democrat Sarah Palin?

There are no beautiful democrat females.

Ugly ideology is ugly person, right Hillary, Elizabeth, Nancy, Barbara, Diane, Debbie, Clinton, Warren, Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Schultz?

He may have, until the GOPe got Palin pushed away from interior.

And she would have been great at interior. But I am sure the Priebus/Ryan gang don’t want her there.

Good choice.

She is a great supporter of the military, and as a state Governor has great administrative skills.

The media attacked her, focusing on her son.

Sarah Palin, in speech at Trump rally, blames President Obama for son Track’s PTSD and domestic violence arrest

I could see Mitt, the turn around artist at VA and Palin at energy. Or Palin at VA and Mitt far far away.

I don’t know about this. I would have tagged Mrs. Palin for Energy or Interior. Still, her son and son-in-law are vets so she may have their perspectives on the VA.

Oddly enough, the VA is the only Cabinet job I would consider appropriate for Romney. A business background is sorely needed in an agency that is famed for customer mis-service.

Given that most rumors and reports about Trump picks are not accurate, I’ll just wait and see.

I thought he already named Scott Brown for that.

I doubt if Donald plays any ‘Games of Thrones’ with Sarah, the way he’s doing with Mitt.

No need to.

Unlike Mittens, Sarah has been a loyal Trump supporter since day one of the primary.

Trump rewards loyalty and competence, which Sarah possesses in spades.

Secretary Of State would be better.
It keeps boobs like Romney and Giuliani away from places they have no business.

She’s killed grizzlies. Those could be considered enemy combatants.

Her son served in Kuwait and when she was Governor went over there when the Alaskan Guard deployed - not much but she’s more than enough of a leader to run a health and service bureaucracy for veterans

-----------------------------------------------------

Her son served in Iraq not just Kuwait. Her son-in-law, Dakota Meyer, earned the Medal of Honor in Afghanistan.
