You seem to forget that a president surrounds himself with good advisers. Anyone who says he would hire Sarah to be part of his administrations shows me he will do that very thing - he will pick the best for positions, and yes, even conservatives will have a place at the table. As much as I like Ted, I think he would be an awesome AG.
The office of president is most of all if done correctly the office of a manager. He must organize and direct all facets of the business of government. We are in the mess we are in because those at the top see it only as a popularity contest and/or they have no leadership skills
Picture each candidate sitting at the head of the board of directors table. Who is the best fit?
