Ahh, but this one’s not presented as already being a Trump choice.

I am more concerned about traditional picks with ‘experience’ going/pushing for weapons systems and then going to work for the manufacturers of the systems.

I was in defense as a manufacturing and process engineer. I understand and agree that your concern is a problem. Unfortunately, a person with no such familiarity is too easily swayed by one with motives as you describe. Thus the supposed benefit of being from "the outside" would likely be illusory.

The real problem in procurement is the cost of paperwork proving that a part meets specification with no guarantees as to its performance in application. I want accountaiblity for my defense dollar, not a mountain of data.

None of the others were either. "Trump considering (insert name) for the position of..." seems to be the tactic being used.

I appreciate Tulsi Gabbard so much because she speaks so articulately. Likewise JFK.

The CIA Director is a very important pick. Probably THE most important pick. Don’t think it goes to Tulsi.

Ya and you’ll end up with one hell of a mess.

Keep her and anyone else’s ass to hell away from there.

Maybe assistant, but in no way should anyone like her lead it...EVER!

She couldn’t be a reservist and be Secretary of the Army.

Good point. I wonder if she would retire in order to take the position. Trump should give her something. She put her ass on the line for him in a big way just like RFK

Tulsi going for SecDef or CIA from service member is an order of magnitude jump from going Dem to Rep.

The issue of the beautiful Tulsi …

I admit to having been captivated by her beauty.

Rhetoric, though, is the advantage that propels her above all the rest.

When she speaks, she compels.

I think Tulsi has made it clear that she’s open to serving wherever Trump wants her to serve. I imagine that she’d be good in a role like Karl Rove was for Dubya or Ed Meese for Reagan where she’s right in the thick of things & available if some vacancy needs to be filled in a key role. For now she’s frankly got her hands full running the transition team & anyone getting appointed to the Cabinet right now has to spend a lot of time getting the paperwork ready to face the advice/consent hurdles that Chuck Schumer & the anti-Democracy zealots will throw at them.

Is Tulsi still in the Reserves? That could limit her opportunities.
