Huck is a good guy a little socially middle of the road, but that only matters if he is an exec. Many possible secretary jobs for a talented guy like Huck.

Santorum could make a great VP choice or Secy of State. Rick has been with a conservative think tank for years now, he is a foreign policy expert.

From his book
hire the best people come up with a plan
Also if the people you hire are not performing fire them

Best leader I ever worked for had this similar philosophy.

Characteristics Of Strong Leaders:

They are not hesitant to hire and promote people more knowledgeable than they themselves might be.
They hire the very best people they can find, then stand back and let them perform.
They see that their employees are the ones to receive credit and rewards for their accomplishments.

Characteristics Of Weak Leaders:

They tend to hire people they do not see as a challenge to their own position and security.
Consequently they usually do not hire the strongest or most knowledgeable.
Then they often hound their employees and take credit for their work.

I didn’t say anything, but I’ve suspected all along that Trump’s “ground game” was going to begin late on purpose. People get tired of being badgered. I think he figured, with his lead and with his attendance at the rallies, all it would take would be one or two “touches,” as opposed to traditional candidates who need many touches.

(For you salesmen out there, I think the rule is “seven touches,” right?)

Hi Jenny,

The FiveThirtyEight guys have been wrong throughout this entire election cycle.

How come nobody predicts a Trump blow out!   That's a possibility too...

It almost seems like they waited till later as a strategy. Maybe Launder knows that people don’t necessarily act on earlier calls.

Trump needs to make a deal with Huckabee tonite.

I think he should with Santorum too. I mean he is good and would bring a positive to Trump’s Administration no matter the job.
