President-elect Donald Trump has been deeply impressed with Senator Jeff Sessions, his transition team said on Thursday of the longtime supporter who is under consideration for secretary of defense and attorney general.

Jeff Sessions for AG!
I could see Sessions wanting an actionable job like AG after being hamstrung in the Senate so long.
Conservative ratings?
Sessions at a Trump rally in my hometown of Mobile, AL in 2015.
That would do.
What’s this crap with Drudge headlines saying Romney for Secretary of state? no way!
My Senator Sessions . . . light years ahead of Shelby. He is a first rate conservative patriot. Probably a little old for SCOTUS. Would be a superb AG and would do fine as SOS. I think I had rather see him as AG.
Jeff Sessions is at the top of the various conservative ratings.
Think Ted Cruz with a winning personality.
Trump being politically savvy about Senate confirmations.
Sessions is a good man. He hitched his wagon on principle, not expediency and not for personal benefit.
Looks good: Jeff Sessions rankings aka Jefferson Jeff Beauregard Sessions III
Biggest immigration and trade hawk in the Senate.
Sessions is 80% at Heritage. Shelby an 84%.
I agree. Yet I hate to have him leave the Senate.
Senator Sessions is a true leader, and a great choice to clean out the DOJ.
Whats this crap with Drudge headlines saying Romney for Secretary of state? no way!
Yesterday it was Guliani (sp?). I think Trump is having fun leaking out misinformation.
He also met with Kissinger. Wonder where he is planning to put old Henry?
Be still my heart. Sessions is an exceptional man. Don’t let his Southern ways fool you for a second. His legal reasoning is sharp and principled. He’s a great thinker and would clean the DoJ swamp to boot. Plus, he’s got a dry sense of humor.
I would prefer him to Rudy for this. I’d rather Rudy at DHS.
Thanks for the info :)
Kissinger may be good for occasional counsel via teleconference, but I would think he was far too old to be assigned any official duty. The man is 93 Year Old. Ninety Three!!
