I don’t think it should be famous name republican politicians.

I think it should be experts in those areas.

I’d make Jerry Boykin SecDef or CJCS.

I’d make Pickens Sec of Energy

I’d make Bolton Sec of State

I’d make subject area experts the chiefs of every department.

Pickens would have two many conflicts of interest. Could act as occasional advisor. He's an expert statistician on energy.

The problem with Gen. Boykin is that he’s retired. Can you have someone who is NOT active duty as CJCS?

“I’d make Pickens Sec of Energy”

Do you mean T. Boone Pickens? Excellent choice (imo).
